Video message from Prime Minister David Cameron to mark Easter 2014
"Easter is the most important date in the Christian calendar, and an incredibly special time for people across Britain and around the world. Last month I was in Jerusalem and Bethlehem and I got to see for myself the places where Jesus was born and died. It was an extraordinary experience to be in those places where so much history began.
Today, 2000 years on, Easter is not just a time for Christians across our country to reflect, but a time for our whole country to reflect on what Christianity brings to Britain. All over the UK, every day, there are countless acts of kindness carried out by those who believe in and follow Christ. The heart of Christianity is to 'love thy neighbour' and millions do really live that out. I think of the Alpha courses run in our prisons, which work with offenders to give them a new life inside and outside prison, or the soup kitchens and homeless shelters run by churches. And we saw that same spirit during the terrible storms that struck Britain earlier this year. From Somerset to Surrey, from Oxford to Devon, churches became refuges, offering shelter and food, congregations raised funds and rallied together, parish priests even canoed through their villages to rescue residents. They proved, yet again, that people's faith motivates them to do good deeds.
That is something this Government supports and celebrates, and it's why we have announced more funding for the Near Neighbours programme bringing together even more faiths in even more cities to do social action. And as we celebrate Easter, let's also think of those who are unable to do so, the Christians around the world who are ostracised, abused -- even murdered -- simply for the faith they follow. Religious freedom is an absolute, fundamental human right.
Britain is committed to protecting and promoting that right, by standing up for Christians and other minorities, at home and abroad. Our hearts go out to them, especially at this special time of year. So as we approach this festival I'd like to wish everyone, Christians and non-Christians a very happy Easter."

Comment:
In his Easter address at a Downing Street reception, and a subsequent article in the Church Times, Prime Minister David Cameron has affirmed his Anglican Christian faith, and undertaken to be more "evangelical", and to expand the role of faith and faith organisations in Britain. Cameron claimed that: ‘Christians are now the most persecuted religion around the world’.
To some extent, the "doing God" echoes the faith position of Tony Blair:
In 2006, Tony Blair said that his decision to go to war in Iraq would ultimately be judged by God.
Ironically, Blair had previously said that he did not speak openly about his devout Catholicism because people would think he was a "nutter".
Cameron's recent statements are not overtly driven by the same evangelical zeal of Blair.
And, unlike Blair, Cameron considers himself to be "a bit vague on some of the more difficult parts of the faith".
Perhaps Cameron thinks he will be thought of as a generally more amenable "nutter" if he remains suitably vague and does not go head-on with the difficult parts.
Such as war.
Could it be merely a matter of time before Cameron also uses God to justify his role in current and future wars?
Cameron's Minister for Faith and Communities, Baroness Sayeeda Warsi (a former chair of the Conservative Party), has declared the governing Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition to be “the most pro-faith government in the West”. The unelected minister Baroness Warsi, whose brief is to promote religion in politics, has said that religious groups must be allowed to provide public services without the State being “suspicious of their motives”.
There is the suggestion here that people of religion are victims - that their right to openly practice their faith is under attack.
Last week, in the House of Commons, when Prime Minister Cameron was asked about the plight of Christians in Pakistan, he said:
‘In the run-up to Easter, it is important to remember how many Christians are still persecuted around the world.’
It has been pointed out that Cameron is attempting to curry favour with the established Church, and that this is motivated by political expediency.
Cameron is depicting Christians as the goodies, and non-Christians as the baddies.
Though he has been keen to emphasise that he is in no way "doing down other faiths". Many non-Christians, even atheists, he admits, live by a moral code. However, as Polly Toynbee points out, "those who feel threatened on account of their non-Christian faith won't find Christian branding reassuring."
The Prime Minister is going against a huge tide of public opinion that is at last starting to get the number of these brainwashed religious nuts.
Slowly but surely, people are beginning to realise just how badly they are being deceived by their leaders and teachers.

Media Comment about David Cameron's Easter Message
Guardian cartoonist Steve Bell on Prime Minister David Cameron:
"There's a terrible, frightening lack of substance about Cameron. You can listen to him for an hour - honestly, I don't know what he's about. He loves his family. It's all so trite. You know, he's against wrongdoing. There's nothing really there. That's the sort of sense I get with him. There's nothing much in there. So a jellyfish is quite a useful way of getting it across."

Ron Pearson gives a summary of some significant milestones in over 30 years of work that has culminated in his Big Breed theory. He outlines practical ways to encourage scientists to at last take note of these solutions to vital unresolved questions in cosmology.
Ron Pearson
- A solution to the problem of the big bang, which makes an absurd prediction.
- To complete the solution to 1, an alternative to relativity had to be formulated.
- A solution to the problem of 'Dark Energy', which was not discovered until 1998, and by which cosmologists were taken by surprise.
In his e-mail, Michael Roll writes:
"Scientists all over the world are now making a careful study of survival after death and linking it to subatomic physics - forces that are normally out of range of our five physical senses."
In his e-mail, Michael Roll writes:
"We can see the results of teaching fairy stories to children as if they were historical facts in the Middle East, especially the Syrian civil war"
In his e-mail, Michael Roll writes:
"It does not take a mathematical genius to come to the conclusion that the force of gravity, that keeps the oceans from flying off into space, and the suns in a galaxy from doing the same thing, is in fact the force that is coming from the spiritual part of the universe."
In his e-mail, Michael Roll writes:
"Only Nigel Farage has had the guts to warn that it is the EU that is causing all the hatred in the Ukraine."
In his e-mail, Michael Roll writes:
"If we are not very careful history is going to repeat itself. What is happening in the Ukraine is a rerun of the terrible religious hatred in the Balkans that started the First World War. In 1914 an Orthodox Christian killed a Catholic Christian."
In his e-mail, Michael Roll writes:
"It is people who have been brainwashed to believe in supernatural religious absurdities who are tearing the world apart."
In his e-mail, Michael Roll writes:
"I am sorry to say this, but you have been very badly advised by scientists acting as experts on survival, a field they do not understand."
In 2001, Michael Roll was interviewed by Jenny Smedley on Taunton TV.
Taunton TV broadcast to Taunton and Wellington (Somerset, South West England).
The station closed in 2002.
In the interview, Michael Roll talks about the important work of the chemist Sir William Crookes, who, working with a materialisation medium, proved in repeated scientific experiments under laboratory conditions that we all survive the death of our physical bodies. The results of these experiments were published in 1874 in the Quarterly Journal of Science. Michael tells that the physicist Sir Oliver Lodge, in his 1933 lecture The Mode of Future Existence, proposed a cosmological location for the so-called spiritual part of the universe.
Michael Roll links these major breakthroughs in scientific understanding with the work of Ron Pearson, who has discovered a structure of the ether that has potential to evolve intelligence. Ron Pearson has provided the mathematical theory to back up the experiments of Sir William Crookes.

In his e-mail, Michael Roll writes:
"These huge explosions, quasars, that can be seen in the picture are the result of a primordial gas exploding and creating a new galaxy.
The gas must be coming from the spiritual part of the universe that Sir William Crookes discovered in 1874 following repeatable experiments under laboratory conditions and the results published in The Quarterly Journal of Science – 140 years ago exactly."
Michael Roll was interviewed by Grahame Mackenzie of the website Spirit Today.

Radio Interview
In June, 2010, Michael Roll was interviewed over the phone by Chris Powis of Evergreen Radio about the scientific proof of life after death.
The interview covers how Michael Roll first became aware that there is scientific proof that we all survive the death of our physical bodies. Michael Roll explains the role of Sir William Crookes, who, in 1874, published the results of his repeated laboratory experiments that proved survival. Also, the role of Sir Oliver Lodge, who, in 1894, became the first person to send a radio signal, although most people would, if asked, say that it was Marconi. The interview also covers materialisation mediums and the story of Helen Duncan, and how survival has nothing to do with allegiance to a religion.
Why has hardly anyone heard of two of the most prominent scientists of their time, Sir William Crookes and Sir Oliver Lodge, and Arthur Findlay, one of the most prolific historians and philosophers who ever lived?
Michael Roll also responds to questions sent in by listeners.
