If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.-Carolyn Janson

The grace of God makes us honest with ourselves.
We must be humorous enough to see the shallow
tricks we all have, no matter what our profession
of Christianity. We are so altogether perverse
that God almighty had to come and save us! --Oswald Chambers (1874-1917) _Not Knowing Whither_ [1934]

It is the duty of every Christian family to worship God in the exercises of praise, reading the Scriptures, and prayer, in the morning and evening of every day. And the heads of families should enjoin and require the regular attendance of all the members. - Testimony of the Reformed Presybterian Church of Scotland, 1866, p. 224

A few months ago, the Home Secretary Theresa May said that it was insufficient to focus on the murderers; attention must be paid to the ideology. She told us that in addition to combating violent extremism, the Government will tackle ‘extremist philosophies’ by looking closely at ‘the values’ of the organisat
ions themselves. Mrs May said: “There’s an ideology out there that we need to challenge and when we first came in as a government one of the things we were very clear about here at the Home Office was we needed to look at extremism, not just violent extremism.” The assertion is that violent extremism is incubated within the ideology of non-violent extremism.
Indeed it is.
And so ‘the viper in our midst’ is not simply the serpent, but the serpentine religio-political philosophy which meanders through society, twisting and turning, meandering and beguiling, spinning its spell and weaving its contorted and perverted message into the foundations of our culture.
And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. - http:/www.archbishop-cranmer.blogspot.com/

In left-wing circles it is always always felt that there is something
slightly disgraceful in being an Englishman and that it is a duty to
snigger at every English institution, from horse racing to suet
puddings. It is a strange fact, but it is unquestionably true, that
almost any English intellectual would feel more ashamed of standing to
attention during 'God save the King' than of stealing from a poor box.
-- George Orwell
