Well according to the above poll you have nothing to worry about as the Conservatives are going to finish third behind Labour and the Lib Dems.

I was about to post something about this, having read and thought about this matter for years. The Vigilant Citizen website often reports of celebrities covering one of their eyes, for example. I used to think it was nonsense, but then when you consider the importance Freemasonry attaches the...

Yes, indeed. I will try to find some Christian meditation.

I am a Christian, already. Thanks for the advice, though.

Thanks again. Good luck with your ordination. Having attended my local Nazarene Church I cannot speak too highly of the pastor there, and I believe the church has genuine Christian ideals, which seems to be rare nowadays.

To say that communist states generally do not approve of religion would be an understatement. At least Chinese Christians aren't being sent to reeducation camps, just yet. I do believe there is a list of state approved churches that one can join in China.

Yes, I have heard that some people have been admitted to psychiatric hospitals as a result of practising yoga. Conversely, I know people who say they enjoy it and it has helped them overcome anxiety. I bought a kundalini DVD as I am going through a tough time at the moment, but I think I might...

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed reply, it's very useful. I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner, however I didn't seem to get an alert!

That's a very interesting article. Thank you.

The poor don't pay taxes? In Scotland you don't pay any tax at all on the first £12,500 earned. This could be increased to say, £15,000 or even £20,000. This could be recouped by levying a higher tax on earnings over say, £40,000.

Thank you! Yes, this is exactly what I was referring to. I'm not a Catholic, but I watched the film Spotlight the other day, and something about it made me uneasy and reminded me of this.

Jesus said "those without sin cast the first stone!" Where in the Bible did Jesus uphold the death penalty, or advocate for murder and violence?

That's conjecture. I do not believe any genuine Christian can be an exponent of the death penalty. Jesus was merciful - he washed Judas' feet, knowing that his act of betrayal would lead to Him being humiliated and ultimately tortured to death. He healed the ear of one of the Roman soldiers who...

Some interesting replies. Thanks.
