British children have voted God as the most inspirational person to make the world a better place, a recent survey has shown.
The survey, carried out by Buzz, and produced for the 4Children charity, spoke to 1000 children aged between four and 14.
Questions were asked on a wide range of issues, and children responded by explaining their visions for the changing world, as well as their personal concerns, and whom they turn to for inspiration.
When asked who it was that inspired them “to make a better world”, 58 per cent replied God, The Church of England Newspaper reports.
God beat off competition from Tony Blair who received 38 per cent of the vote, and the Dalai Lama who received just four per cent.
When asked who actually makes their world a better place, 59 per cent of children answered God, compared to Gordon Brown who received 27 per cent, and rock star-activist Bob Geldof gained just nine per cent.
4Children is the national charity dedicated to creating opportunities and building futures for all children. To find out more please visit: www.4children.org.uk

If this is a valid and not biased poll, I find It deeply disturbing that Tony Blair an actual war criminal, and at least partly responsible for thousands of deaths in Iraq, could be on their list?? and even receive 1 vote !!
surely he is bound for the Christian hell is he not??

What make God Almighty is His ability to restrain Himself even when He can do anything He wish.
Comparing any mortal man with God is like a spoon of water with an ocean
