Am I the only one to feel slightly disturbed by the prime minister's pronouncements on God, as evinced by Michael White in today's Guardian:

Tony Blair is reconciled to the prospect that God and history will eventually judge his decision to go to war with Iraq, and says his decision, like much of his policymaking, was underpinned by his Christian faith.

Asked about Iraq, the prime minister said: "Well, I think if you have faith about these things, then you realise that judgement is made by other people."

Questioned further, he added: "If you believe in God, [the judgement] is made by God as well."

I'm not really sure I want to live in a country run by a guy who bases his decisions on divine inspiration, after all, who's to say he hasn't misheard or misinterpreted the received Word of God?
