Blair and God.

3.5°C. bright

Tony Blair’s gettinga grilling form something he didn’t say today. BBC. The whole story is full of misquotes and wanton ignorance. He said:
"If you believe in God (the judgement) is made by God."

when talking about the decision to go to war in Iraq; said on the Parkinson show.

This is where it gets silly:

"Are we really seeing over 100 coffins coming back (to the UK) because God told him (Mr Blair) to go to war?"

And:

Rose Gentle, whose son Gordon was killed in Basra in 2004, said: "A good Christian wouldn’t be for this war.

No Christian can be infavour of any war- it’s built into their religion (see the 10 Commandments). They are by definition- pacifists.

But anyway, TB didn’t say his descision was swayed by God, it was a reference to judgement afterwards. Well, you’ve had our judgement, that hasn’t changed since before the war- Tony you are a liar and were judged so at the time.

The strangest part of this story is the time spent on misunderstanding what he actually did say.
