Defender of The Faith or Defender of None

King Charles recently stated that he is no longer just the defender of the Christian faith but the defender of all faiths. Such a statement is doublespeak. I totally agree with defending the people of every faith if they're not trying to dominate or destroy your civilization and culture: that's a Godly thing to do.

Believing The Bible

People who regard themselves as Christians yet pay little or no attention to the Bible are getting their direction in life from somewhere else. It's coming from their church's doctrine and tradition, and from priests; It's coming from what their pastor tells them in his own "inspired" sermons, or from what other Christians tell them, or worst of all, it's coming from their own idea of what's right or wrong.
