    God/Allah/Vishnu/higher spiritual being save the Queen/King

    There have been calls in the United Kingdom to make their national anthem "God save the Queen" more "inclusive" by sudstituting some words in the later verses according to Lord Goldsmith a close associate of Gordon Brown.
    One wonders whether they are serious or are trying to prop up the UK's ailing satire industry.

    Well first off it would not be vishnu but Brahman or Bhagavan.
    Secondly Allah and God should be interchangeable quite easily.

    As for satire, I thought that 'a cup of tea love' distinctly defined british satire

    I don't see why any of them would want to save the queen or king though.... if I was a higher deistic entity, I think I'd be annoyed if I was implored to do such tedious things.

    The new anthem goes like this;

    Shakti shave our gracious Queen
    Long live our Sacred Cow
    Buddha save the Queen:
    Send her Allah,
    Happy and glorious,
    To reign over us:
    St Patrick save the Queen.
    There are Men, there are Women and there are Politicians. God save old Ireland

    Pfah. St Patrick is an Ascendant, not a Deity. I suppose he's like a boddhisatva more than anything else?
