Given the huge holdings in both land and shares that the CoE has one can only assume they are scared for their pensions.

Sounds like the church to me.

No doubt one or the other of them will be on the lunch time news lisping their concerns and explaining why they have "spoken out".

AND that's another thing ~ is there no one in the upper reaches of the CoE who doesn't lisp?

I can't say that he has ever spoken within my hearing.

No ~ I just refuse to listen to those who claim to speak for Him ~ I am however certain that when the time comes He will say something.

Did you accidentally take two "Serious" pills this morning, or is it the tyre saga still getting to you?

Not really but yes on this I am serious. I do believe that when God wishes to speak to me He will. I cannot accept that a bunch of lisping jessies in purple frocks have a direct line anymore than I will ever believe that some elected Pole/Kraut/Italian dressed all in white robes and wearing handmade red shoes hears directly from Him either.
Personally I would rather face Him myself than have any of them speak on my behalf.

I see cases like that as well as the overload of violent wastes of DNA that the prisons are filled with and wonder if Deathrace isnt such a bad idea after all.
