Gospel truth

I received an advert today inviting me to buy various books...The Gospel according to....
and these included
  • Disney
  • Harry Potter
  • Tolkein
  • Oprah
It is an interesting idea which sets you thinking...

According to JW Howard
It doesn't matter what you do as long as you remain popular with the electorate
The main aim in life is to appeal to as many people as possible
Never take any resposibility for anything
and under no circumstances resign if you are wrong or if you lie

According to the AFL
All morality (good or bad) takes second place to winning
All footballers sin, but their sin is excusable in direct proportion to the number of goals they facilitate
Everything we do in life is supported by advertising. We should therefore be adorned with logos, and our life should be broken up into 13 min segments and we break and don't resume again until the flashing light tells us everyone is now back with a cup of tea

According to Rob Kerin and Mike Rann
Anything you can do I can do better ( also known as the "Annie Get your gun" principle)
I will be harsher on criminals than my opponent and I will test my schoolkids more than the next guy....neither of these will be based on policy or philosophy but rather on the idea of popular appeal...which is the main aim of life per se

And so it might go on...any suggestions?
