Last time I read the Bible God was quite clear that there was only one God and that was Him. He was also upset over people’s constant ability to follow other gods if it suited them. If you are a Christian this could get you in a lot of trouble.
In the Old Testament the story of David and Bathsheba is well known. But do you remember that David had Bathsheba’s husband killed so that he could have her? His name was Uriah and was a loyal servant to David. But David had Uriah deliver the letter that turned out to be Uriah’s own death warrant… read it it’s better than tv…
What I’m coming to is this. If I really believe that there is only one God (and I do) this gets me into trouble with anyone of other faiths if I (stubbornly?) hold onto it. Don’t get me wrong, you choose what you believe and you take your own responsibility. In some countries carrying a bible could have your head. As Christians have we realised that we too could be carrying our own death warrant?

(Maybe you all can help me. Which is worse, a Godless nation or a multifaith nation? And who do I pick between Nelson or Elizabeth 1st? Hmmmmmmmm. I would have gone for Alfred the Great but he didn’t make it into the top 10 and who would vote Michael Crawford in at No 17?)
