Whatever your views regarding organised religion, I kindly ask that you put them aside whilst you watch the following interview with Bishop Richard Williamson.

I do not subscribe to any of the organised religions. This doesn’t mean however that I lack belief in God. Quite the contrary. Many assume, incorrectly, that all those in religion are missing the point. Many are of course. One only has to see the rabid, non-questioning, absorbent brains (what little is left of them) of the fundamentalist religious movements, of zionistic judaism, of fundamental islam and creationist chrsitianity (to name but an obvious few) to know that masses of people are currently lost in a welter of pied piper mumbo jumbo, none of it anything much to do with developing a true relationship with the creator or deepening one’s understanding and love of the fundamental beauty and brilliance of life and the light and love that run through it and without which none of this would be possible.

You do not have to be “religious” to be connected. In fact it is often the case that peaceful, modest, decent people exemplify the golden rule more than those who actively spout off about their church or synagogue or mosque.

The encroachment of a godless world is what our would-be social engineers will have us endure. Bishop Williamson expresses some grave concerns about this in a way that most alternative thinkers will recognise. I was particularly struck by his quoting of G K Chesterton early on in the interview. Chesterton said:

“When people stop believing in God, they don’t believe in nothing, they will believe in anything.”
