National Secular Society threatens legal action over parking privilege for Christians

Exactly right mate.

Of course I think I am right. Thefijian thinks the same. Nothing wrong with that...but it's best to debate it over in another thread if he wants and not derail the thread too much.

Good to see you on here.

Just want to poke my head into this conversation quickly.

Many denominations have formed around interpreting the Bible differently.
All of them consider their interpretation to be right.

I think it's a good idea to acknowledge the fact that what one person thinks is scriptural fact, and what someone else thinks is scriptural fact can be two different things.
Neither one HAS to be right. As interpretation is all subjective.
You merely believe what you feel is the most correct interpretation.
Just sayin'.

One thing I am definitely not is post-modern. Believe me. Anything but.

Hmm....

Sooooooo...what you say is fact (despite it being one interpretation of scripture) and anything else anyone else says is false?! I'm not going to comment any further. I guess I hold my own view (which is the opposite to yours) because I think it is scriptural fact. Why else would I hold my view?! See what I mean...it is not an established fact at all...just someone's opinion.

So there is no real truth or objective fact, only opinion? Yep most definitely post-modern

Again...if you want to debate the issue (which is not part of the OP) then feel free to let me know where you have started a new thread and we can discuss it there

Post-modernism or scriptural interpretation?

As interpretation is all subjective.

Which is just your interpretation of the situation, which obviously is subjective

 

[welshman]

Please find where I said there was no absolute truth. I said you have your opinion (which you think is fact) and I have mine (which I think is fact). I don't mean either of us can be right i.e truth is relative; because I think I am scripturally correct. What I have been trying to say is that we both have opinions.

I have actually spoken on "post-modernism" i.e. Rick Warren, Joel Osteen et all and condemned it. Maybe that blows your theory out of the water about me? (then again lol)...

Anyways...maybe nothing I say will convince you.

I don't actually know what you're trying to convince me of, or even why you're trying to convince me, after all it's just your opinion

 

[welshman]

You know exactly what I was referring to

 

[theFijian]

Do you know for a fact or is this just your opinion?

This is why I hate most councils today.

Following advice that the practice could be viewed as ‘indirect discrimination’ the council has authorised a consultant to undertake an ‘equality impact assessment’ at a projected cost of £5,000.

You would think that maybe someone inside the council could do it themselves instead of hiring a "consultant".
