Unsuprisingly, i felt the need to comment on his visit.
This is mostly due to some of the, frankly scandalous, comments he has made. He likened visiting Britain to visiting a third world country due to the large amounts of Atheism. He also declared that the Roman Catholic church was in danger under threats of dying out from Secular groups and the " atheist extremism" in the country. Now pardon me for daring to question such an important leader, and I except I may even be wrong, but I personally have never known or known of an extreme atheist. I have never been stopped in the street and asked to not commit myself to a religion and follow atheism. I have never had someone knocking on the door asking me to become an atheist.
Yes, our deputy Prime minister is an atheist, but this is a country that tolerates all religious beliefs and doesn't discriminate. Is the head of the church going so far as to suggest that Clegg shouldn't be allowed the post, or it's wrong that he is in the post, based on his religious beliefs? Maybe in Rome this has a different meaning but I can say for certain, that in England the word for that is Discrimination.
I have never been, and never hope to be, anti-Christian, minorities do spoil it for all. Personally I think it's appalling that the FIGUREHEAD for a religion would be so openly prejudice. If a muslim did it, there would be an outcry, fact.
On a different note, next chapter of Heaven's State will not happen soon as we don't have a LAN cable and are relying on Nicks phone, we also only have the laptop so both of those things make it hard for me to write it.
I'm also suffering from a Neck injury and have only just gained mobility in my right arm to allow for both handed typing :(
