David Cameron says the UK is a Christian country

[A1Kaid]

Glory be to thy Holy Father, God Al Mighty of Heavens.

UK's laws and traditions are built on an older Christian traditions which is quiet evident. That is what Cameron meant and I agree. Most people here in the UK have grown out of the need to have a religion and are very suspicious of organised religion.

Parts of the UK are operating under Shariah Law! Hahahaha! Our Evil Plan is almost complete! hahaha

Looking at how many churches are being Disused and converted to Gyms and libraries,and looking at the fact that only Migrant Christians are more than 70% of the very few church attendants on a Sunday,and looking at how openly people deny God and abuse Jesus...Cameron is lier if he says Britain is Christian..
He should speak for himself only..
He is only going to church to be friends with the clergy as they have started to criticize his government.

He knows it is in decline which coincides with the moral decline of the country, he encouraged people to take up these morals once more.

They are also welcome to mosques we welcome converts

Well i doubt that UK is a Christian country first because atheism is trending fast in Britain,Second at the same pace Islam is getting strong in there with people specially a large percentage of women embracing it everyday.

Sorry but Islams image is not so good in the west.

So what's the big deal??

Protestant Christianity is the state religion on the England, although England is a secular country.

Our queen who is head of the state is also a head of the church of England. So he is right in what he said.

Old testament.

So what is your point then???

If old testament is God's word then how come people get to change it or dismiss it later as you are doing now?

If old testament is not God's word, which book was God's word then?

Allah describes in Quran the people who write the book with their own hands and then claim is His word:

Suratul Bakara verse 79 (2-79)
"So woe to those who write the "scripture" with their own hands, then say, "This is from Allah ," in order to exchange it for a small price. Woe to them for what their hands have written and woe to them for what they earn."

What it means is that God said the Old Testament laws, and they were very harsh laws, did not worked, that mankind remained sinful and disobedient to those harsh laws and therefore to God. So The Big Guy sent His Son down to live among the sinful as an example of how to live within the Spirit of the Laws without the harshness of the letters of the Laws. The Son is the New Testament. Jesus died as a metaphorical sacrificial lamb, as how animals were slaughtered back then to appease all sorts of gods, for all your sins, past, present and future. The stipulation here is that you have to accept Jesus as THE only Savior you can have to gain mercy from The Big Cheese upstairs.

So the Old Testament was Gods' Word, same as the New Testament. God did not changed, only that He felt the need to give us something different since the old ways did not worked.

It is bizarre to hear all these politicians claim Christianity to appease Christian constituencies. However, very small percentage of their people practice Christianity. In France less than 10% of their so called Christians go to church on a regular basis. Most of them are Christians in name only and yet they try to make a big deal out of it.

Not at all. If those who are not regular churchgoers do not still feel strongly about the Christian values that founded their country, why would politicians make their appeals to the minority? In other words, the lack of open religiosity should not be construed as a complete abandonment of those values. These majority may move towards moderation in the applications of those values, as in legal enactment and enforcement, but that does not mean they do not practice those values or at least held themselves against those values. Calling the UK a 'Christian' country is appropriate and serves as a reminder to the electorate of where their country came from.

Christians are not taught to " kill " everyone who insults Christianity. Infact, the entire focus of the new testament is on loving your enemy and forgiveness. When Christ himself removes every provision to exact revenge......what can we do?

hindunism is taught to kill then?

Well not entirely Muslims have been responsible for many terrorist attacks.

Cameron is talking cr*p again.

Our local soup kitchen set up for homeless people to get hot food inside them this weekend at the local church -sadly cant get any Christians to do any volunteering so the local Muslims are running it AND also paying for it.
Most people are without doubt say they are christian - sadly their places of worship are badly dilapidated and run down. I never see a hindu or sikh temple or mosque neglected or badly populated. Always beautifully clean and well presented. Local church one cant see the front door because of overgrown bushes etc - yes UK is a christian country by name - in practice dream on

Nope. Islamic terrorism is one of the greatest threats the world faces today.
