Does make one wonder if Western "civilisation" really exists anymore. Barbarism seems to be the rule of the day.
If you post this on the general news forum many British FRers will crop up and claim nothing is wrong and it-is-all-you-hypersensitive-and-hypocritical-Yanks-who are fanning-this-up voice will be heard all over this. Britain as a nation is in a worse shape than I have ever realized - their conservatives are not even as conservative as New Zealand conservatives.
This is also reflected in the British Anglicans' state. True, the ECUSA is more vocally liberal, but it seems to me the Church of England is not far behind and worse, there are no serious conservative rebellion against the libs in that organization. It best fits what Jesus rebuked the church at Laodicea in Revelation 3:16: lukewarm.
