Perhaps you could find a different way to describe what you think is important? Christian values means a whole host of different things.

Most of the be nice to each other stuff is common to all religions.

Well no it isn’t. That element wasn’t included in the Sun article

Nevertheless he doesn’t state he wasn’t involved in the original investment decision, It is very clear he is fully aware of the issue and could have chosen a different path

He is simply someone that creates verbal smokescreens to follow a path that suits himself. Something at which he is very good. It is exactly that ability that alienates most voters. Some politicians do what they want and then explain it away with their clever self serving rhetoric. Very hard to have trust

That doesn't mean anything does it?

Well yes it does, would you say that to ex Sikhns or Muslims? I summise you actually know what I mean.

Obviously it means you relate to the history and traditions of that religion without necessarily adhering to its tenets or indeed agreeing with them.

If you are bought up within a religion...even if it's just passing.... it's likely to influence you.

Yes I do regard you that way...tempered by the reality that this is based purely upon text written on a forum....It's an observed criticism not a knowledgeable one.

If you were to accuse me of the same thing in regards to religion.....sure, it's a valid criticism in a sense....To say though that I'm not part of the tradition is nonsense, as I was raised in it.

However, I'm not really gaining anything by this choice. I never claimed to be a Christian now as I don't have the belief that Jesus is the lord and saviour....Because, come on, everybody knows that is Brian....Who was a very naughty boy who died for our sins.

But being serious again, I side with a lot of Christains on the disquiet and heavy doubts on the subject of abortion. However, it wasn't Christianity that convinced me about abortion so this is something I share with rather than having been informed by religion....what can I say that's more than that.

Whereas the lefty who conveniently becomes a sensible neo liberal when a policy is likely to affect them....Well that can be seen through a different lens.....
