I have studied the origins of Christianity and whilst I don't believe it tells a factual story it's undeniably true that it's moral compass is what has guided our development as a nation. Not being a believer allows for some wriggle room. So I would have fought in WW2. If you and yours are under threat then you defend yourself. What I would not have done is support judicial killing, even for war crimes. In the heat of battle, when it's kill or be killed, is different. You previously posted "Christians are commanded not to kill. To do so is morally indefensible in any circumstances."

You previously posted "Christians are commanded not to kill. To do so is morally indefensible in any circumstances." Christianity is hardly that black or white. There are the Commandments and the Deadly sins, yet there is also "an eye for an eye". I suspect true Christianity should not encompass the Old Testament, yet it does. However, that's a far more philosophical debate.

Also many experts say that the original commandment 'Thou shalt not kill' is more acurately translated as 'Thou shalt not murder', which of course gives the commandment a very different meaning.

The voters are really to blame for Johnson. With the huge majority they foolishly handed him, he can sail on ignoring the public who put him in office. Many people did not trust him yet voted for him, so they can hardly complain now. Labour 10 points ahead.

Tis true- i kind of want the working classes to reap what they voted for- trusting in Old Etonians- wealthy landowning folk from hundreds of years, this fuel inflation is going to bite hard- they should make people at foodbanks prove who they voted for before feeding them- they are keeping the working man down by the belief that Eton boy cares about them.

Now, the voters really would have been fools if they had put a crypto-communist in power.

He wouldn"t have nicked the £47 thousand million PPE money though-even if he wanted to- the scrutiny wouldn"t allow it- but bungle and his cronies will get away with it- oh well.

To be clear; there is a huge position which exists between not supporting this corrupt government, and being a socialist - I'd suggest the majority of the country probably sit within that group now.
