Blair the Christian

It’s scary to see this story on ex-Prime Minister Tony Blair’s religious convictions. I contributed on the BBC site as follows:

“Since having faith means being prepared to believe things in the absence of evidence, and being a Christian means basing one’s principles on a book which recommends many practices which are morally objectionable in this day and age, it may indeed be both relevant and helpful to know of someone’s religious convictions before employing them, and Blair is probably right in calculating that had he been more open about his he would not have been able to hold onto office for so long.”

And now we have Gordon Brown instead, who very nearly went into the clergy. To think these people are running our country, it is truly quite a concern.
