Few and far between are the occasions on which I find myself agreeing with Christians - or for that matter, the faithful of any church. It's not that I have anything strictly against their religion per se, rather, it's the hypocrisy in its application that grates the most.
So I'm rather pleased that Jonathan Bartley, the director of the theo-think-tank Ekklesia http://www.ekklesia.co.uk/, has spoken out in the church times against the wearing of the Red Poppy. "Whilst the red poppy implies redemption can come through war, the Christian story implies that redemption comes through nonviolent sacrifice. The white poppy is much more Christian, in that respect, than the red variety".
For a religion who's founding premise is to 'turn the other cheek', who's martyr was crucified because he refused to forsake his beliefs, and who refused violence at every turn, Bartley's remarks are of course, a blinding truism.
War, just or otherwise, is not something Christian people (or for that matter, humanists or the sane) should be commemorating as an act of redemption, which since 1933 (when the British Legion refused to print 'No More War' in the centre of their bouquets) the Red Poppy has done.
Take note Sunday school churchgoers: Christ would wear white.
