What a strange thing to say. As reported in Australia’s The Age:
THE head of the Anglican Church, Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, criticised the British Government yesterday, saying it viewed religion as a problem practised by freaks and foreigners.
''The trouble with a lot of government initiatives about faith is that they assume it is a problem, it's an eccentricity, it's practised by oddities, foreigners and minorities,'' he told The Daily Telegraph.
He said the Government was paying only scant attention to Christians, instead being intensely focused on Muslims. He also touched on the widening schism within the Anglican Church over the election of a second openly gay bishop in the US, saying: ''It confirms the feeling that they're moving further from the Anglican consensus.''
My name is Dan Porter. I have always believed in God. And I have always been a Christian, which means I have always believed, at some level of understanding, Christian assertions about Christ. But during all of my adult life—I am now 65—I have struggled with many seeds of doubt brought on by modern science, objective history, the question of why a loving God would allow so much suffering in the world and difficulties with seemingly conflicting moral precepts.
