The politicians are said to be well known for their hypocrisy. This was demonstrated very clearly when two very senior UK politicians who profess to be atheists stood in St Paul's Cathedral, London, on Tuesday 5th June 2012, and sang hymns of praise to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ Whom they do not believe exists. Deputy Prime Minister, Mr Nick Clegg, and Mr Ed. Milliband, leader of Her Majesty's Opposition claim to be atheists yet they sing praise to a God they do not even believe exists.
On Remembrance Sunday, they do the same. The incongruity of it all is sickening and a mockery of the highest degree. This is a form of simony, where religion is used for purposes other than what it was intended for. These men are not worshipping the living and true God - for them He does not exist - but they are "drawing near to Him with their lips but their hearts are far from Him."
They have created a god in their own image, and they worship that god using the precious words of the Christian church. This is sheer religious humbug of the highest degree. These men turn up at these civic events just because they are expected to be there. It is their duty to be there, whether they believe in the rightness of being there or not.
That raises the other question as to how much of their politics is exactly the same. Do they do and do they say only those things that others expect them to do and to say? Do such men have no principles whatever? Are they in politics for the take? Is seeking the applause of men the greatest driving force in their lives? Well, they have to be re-elected after all. So, principle does not come into it.
Another sign of hypocrisy, surely.
