The man who lied to the British people, avoided the public eye when the Chilcott Inquiry was being carried out about the war on Iraq; Tony Blair also never discussed faith as Prime Minister. It becomes another matter to take my attention when he suddenly changed his religion in 2007 near the time he formed 'HIS' FAITH foundation. Coincidence? Not! More like a strategic evolving plan!
Now he wants to form a 'faith offensive' across America - and be seen as someone who leads in uniting faiths together. When you connect the dots together of his adverse influence, you will realise why I find this lucrative venture in particular very offensive!!!

"The foundation, which was set up to promote cohesion between the major faiths, is sitting on £4.5million of donations, according to The Observer.
Now Blair, who converted to Catholicism in 2007, is to use that money to spread his message across the Atlantic, where he is more warmly received than in the UK." Some people 'hate him'!
Tony Blair is not warmly received in UK because of his actions against the public best interest. Both he and his wife created their reputation based on their own actions! Both the Blair's come from working class backgrounds and I understand, according to one article his wife has issue with this. No status, amount of money or designer clothes will change the truth. Same as changing a religion is not going to ever make anyone a better person. A true believer has a conscience, with honor and integrity part of their being!
"The fresh 'convert' does not hesitate to explain to the pope not only what he must do, but also what he must believe!
"One of the aims of the Tony Blair Faith Foundation will be that of remaking the major religions, just as his colleague Barack Obama will remake global society. With this purpose, the foundation in question will try to expand the 'new rights', using the world religions for this end and adapting these for their new duties. The religions will have to be reduced to the same common denominator, which means stripping them of their identity ...
This project threatens to set us back to an age in which political power was ascribed the mission of promoting a religious confession, or of changing it. In the case of the Tony Blair Faith Foundation, this is also a matter of promoting one and only one religious confession, which a universal, global political power would impose on the entire world."

As someone with very strong faith, Christened Greek Orthodox, I understand the laws of Divine Justice - I live my life with awareness of deception and share in truth in the public interest, the global public interest; with having care and a conscience!
Only a fool would even invest their FAITH in a man who has no qualms to call out war at huge cost and kill innocent people. Any true believer in God would never even consider war - knowing there is a far greater power beyond humans.
Why would anyone who has a personal relationship with God in each name known in different faiths, including Allah, or Jesus Christ, want to even look at Tony Blair as if he is Holy (or anyone else) when indeed his actions are far from this!!!
Does the Bible not warn people not to worship false idols?
There is a lesson to learn from trusting anyone (even a lawyer) above God!
This man gave unreliable information about WMD in Iraq. He may have even lied - who knows. In total over a million deaths and a bill for war comes at the cost over $1 trillion - to be paid by the people. He cannot be trusted to make ethical decisions!
He cannot be trusted because he ignored people who might just see more than his limited vision. If he is blind to Legal corruption also brought to his attention, we can see why he is blind to his influence that gave cause to so much death and destruction!
Just some reasons why I find HIS faith offensive...

Pauline;
ReplyDeleteI should start by saying I am a confirmed Methodist,Catholic,and Lutheran,yes all three.
And have studied all of the major Religions for most of my life.
In 2000 shortly after Bush became president
he started a program where the Govt gave cash directly to "churches" (over ten billion the first year) Saying that who better to know where charity should be given that churches.
The program has only grown bigger these last ten years. Effectively buying the religious
vote.In 2003 near the end of the presidential campaign, a Catholic Arch Bishop from Boston was quoted in the press for having said " No Priest should give Communion to any one in favor of abortion. Thus helping the Republicans stay in power.
Today in America the Catholics are still focused on abortion. The Lutherans are obsessed with same sex couples. In fact no
major American Religious leader has had the moral courage to stand up to their corporate
masters and say, Killing is a sin !!!
Stop the immoral wars...
Great article, Pauline. Thanks!
