(All right, they can leave the bits blaming the English, Yanks and Jews for most of the trouble in the world, but they have to add in Big Oil, Big Denier, Big Tobacco and each new Big Nasty as it comes along. It took a lot of work to blame Maggie and Ronnie for the Death of the Dinosaurs, the Fall of Rome <i>and </i> continental drift.)<br /><br />Still, in these parlous times, they could have just stuck with the parable of the talents or, given the state of school meals, the Sermon on the Mount.Kevin Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-32829266052138841142011-11-26T11:17:14.598+00:002011-11-26T11:17:14.598+00:00Is his plan to pass all the unemployable over to t...Is his plan to pass all the unemployable over to the church?

Anti-smoking lines taken direclty out of the King James Version of the Bible.<br /><br />-- This describes the smoke-filled pubs and the anti-smoker's rant when he/she runs outside, fearful of the second-hand-smoke and cursing all those smokers for their "unclean lips"<br /><br />Isiah, Chapter 6, Verses 4, 5<br /><br />4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.<br /><br />5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.<br /><br /><br />-- This describes the exact words for an anti-smoker to use, especially outdoors when in proximity to second-hand-smoke, fear sets in and they feel compelled to tell the smoker to stop smoking.<br /><br />Isaiah, Chapter 66, Verse 5<br /><br />5 Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth al the day.<br /><br />So yes, that is actually found in the KJV of the Bible, so you may be right about King James when he authorized this edition.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-44839922535887516532011-11-26T02:23:48.166+00:002011-11-26T02:23:48.166+00:00this is brilliant, what fun (and yes, disturbing!)...this is brilliant, what fun (and yes, disturbing!) to read! :)Deleriumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-70101886856667388972011-11-26T00:08:53.738+00:002011-11-26T00:08:53.738+00:00New Title - GOVErnment is GOD.
