Nutter god botherers

So Tony Blair thinks that if you mention god* you'll be classed as a nutter.

Well, good.

It certainly restores my faith in the UK populace somewhat. We Brits can't be all bad if we can work out that a leader who looks to his invisible sky-friend to help him make such decisions as, oh, I don't know, shall we go to war, is possibly not entirely there.

Now I know old dubya got re-elected after mumbling something about doing god's work. Just goes to show there's an awful lot of voters in Texas. I'd like to think we demand a little more from our leaders in Britain though.

Now, show me an openly atheist candidate and he's likely got my vote, regardless of party.

* For reference god is intentionally given a lower case 'g'. Show me some proof of existence and I might think about upgrading to a capital, although given his track record on the 'killing anybody that doesn't worship him' front I doubt it. It might make me start looking to satan though ...
