God: I've lost faith in Blair

All the signs are that the Almighty is unhappy about efforts to implicate Him in the attack on Iraq

Terry Jones

A high-level leak has revealed that God is "furious" at Tony Blair's attempts to implicate him in the bombing of Iraq. Sources close to the archangel Gabriel report him as describing the Almighty as "hopping mad ... with sanctimonious yet unscrupulous politicians claiming He would condone their bestial activities when He has no way of going public Himself, owing to the MMW agreement" (a reference to the long-established Moving in Mysterious Ways concordat).

Mr Blair went public about God on Michael Parkinson's TV show. "If you have faith about these things," he said, "then you realise that judgment is made by other people. If you believe in God, it's made by God as well." As is customary with Mr Blair's statements, it's rather hard to tease out what he is actually saying; but the gist is clearly that if God didn't actually tell him to bomb Iraq, then the Almighty would certainly agree it was the right thing to do.

"If Tony Blair thinks his friendship with George W Bush is worth rubbing out a couple of hundred thousand Iraqi men, women and children, then that's something he can talk over with me later," said God. "But when he starts publicly claiming that's the way I do the arithmetic too, it's time I put my foot down!" It is well known that God has a very big foot.

A source says Gabriel has spent days trying to dissuade the Almighty from loosing a plague of toads upon the Blair family. Gabriel reminded God that Cherie and the children had nothing to do with Tony's decisions. God's response, it is reliably reported, was: "Blair says the Iraqis are lucky to have got bombed, so how can he complain if his family gets a few toads in the bath?"

My personal favourite:

DAD:
There are Jews in the world.
There are Buddhists.
There are Hindus and Mormons, and then
There are those that follow Mohammed, but
I've never been one of them.

I'm a Roman Catholic,
And have been since before I was born,
And the one thing they say about Catholics is:
They'll take you as soon as you're warm.

You don't have to be a six-footer.
You don't have to have a great brain.
You don't have to have any clothes on. You're
A Catholic the moment Dad came,

Because

Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,

Let the Pagan spill theirs
O'er mountain, hill, and plain.
HOLY STATUES:
God shall strike them down for
Each sperm that's spilt in vain.

Every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed
In your neighbourhood.

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite iraaaaaate!

2. God has gone back to School...He is Perpl;exed and Disgusted

How can Humans reject Goodness over Badness...."After all those Hints....I Even Sent my Son there.....?"

3. It's pretty bad

when you have to blame God, it's just like the Devil
made me do it. Too bad Tony is following in Bush's steps.

[Apollo11]

4. what's all the fuss?

Tony Blair is admitting that history will judge whether or not he was right to follow Bush into Iraq.

And he has said that if you believe in God, then you can also expect that God will judge your actions.

From what I saw - Blair is not looking forward to being judged for his decisions.

But then we don't know for sure if Blair really believes in God.

Personally - I don't, and Tony Blair's beliefs are not relevant to me.

I will not vote for him again. Not since he told the US Congress: "never apologise for your values".

It proves that he shares exactly the same values as the US Republican Party!
