UK Court soon to rule on whether or not God exists

20/01/09

Egofreaky

What will be most interesting is that in the UK, the state religion being Anglicanism / C of E, this basically also means that by divine right, the Queen (or King) and rest of the Royal family is in fact ordained by God… Which is going to cause all other kinds of shit storms across what remains of the Empire.

And I really think that no one has thought of that.

But some background.

In case you didn’t know, there’s an advertising campaign at the moment, being run by Agnostics, basically telling people to enjoy life because god probably doesn’t exist.

Keyword here: Probably. Means that they’re not sure entirely either. Which means they’re open to proof. Which means they’re actually Agnostic, not Atheist. Atheists would techincally shove fingers in their ears and shout “LaLaLa!” if Jesus, Buddha, and Tetragramaton came up to them to have a friendly chat and a crumpet (It’s the UK, remember?)

So in come the fundy Christian lobby, with a counter claim to the Advertising Standards Authority, claiming that for these ads to be legal, they need to be backed up by factual evidence.

So back to my main point: Divine Right

In our enlightened times, the Monarchy stays where it is more because they are fantastic for Britian’s PR more so than because anyone believes that they are in any way anything other than a massive anachronism. But we all love the Beef Eaters, their funny hats and the gin… and if we got rid of the Royals, they’d have to go too. So the Royals stay.

But technically, they’re their because a couple hundred years ago they said that they were in charge because God said so. So if the courts rule that God probably doesn’t exist, then the Royale Family probably has to fuck off, and who knows what effects that will have on the rest of the Commonwealth. I suppose it does make the choice to become a Republic a hell of a lot easier for us… Or it means we become the new home of the Royal Family, because we love to hear how Harry dresses up as a Nazi at big social dos.

If, on the other hand, the courts do rule in favour of the Christian lobby, and say that God probably does exist, that means they also have to recognise the divine providence of the Royal family. Which means they can basically get away with anything, because it’s ok by God. Lizzy could go on a spree, gunning children down with MP5s akimbo, shooting from the hip as she chomps down on a cigar, topless, in the middle of Piccadilly Circus. And when people waved, hoping she’d do her famous semi wave back, she’d lob anthrax laden grenades… and it would all be Divine Will.
