The head of state may be head of the church but the queen's power does not extend to the making of laws, only the 'official' approval of them, and of the laws that get passed to her, how many does she actually reject? Few, if any. I believe that the UK government is seperate from the church...

The British Prime Minister intended to let the Catholic adoption agencies discriminate against gays, and yet the cabinet itself overturned him. My question to you is this: in the media, in politics, in general society in Britain, the belief that homosexuals are equal to everyone else and should...

I find it sickening that parents can't control their children. I hated my parents creating boundaries for me when I was little but I thank them for it now because I hate to think what I could have been like now otherwise. No doubt that child will be a right pain in the ****when it gets older...

We already know the world is in danger, everyone just likes to ignore it...way to depress us more really and make people deny it further.

If currently, a gay person was turned away from a restaurant or similar business because they were gay, I believe that this law or not, they would have enough of a case to use other laws and win against that business. I do not believe that the law totally and utterly (currently) would allow the...

I don't believe atheism is the problem here. I think changing Merry Christmas to Season's Greetings is a bit silly. I have many friends who are not Christian, some of them send cards at christmas because they like to. None of them has ever said they hated Christmas because it was Christian...

Confused me! ignore this

Since you apparently are quite comfortable with erotica and sexual instruction videos, there is no problem. If it isn't a problem for you, then nobody elses opinion matters.

My whole opinion on this thread is: It's a film, don't like it, don't watch it again. Simple as.

I don't know that calling them hateful is the right thing, but you have to remember that the Catholic Church saying that homosexual adoption is wrong is not exactly a great way to make friends.

Wow. Soy is a gay food. What next?

I'm pretty sure that the mind is strong enough to prevent itself from being controlled by someone on the outside if what they are being asked to do is against the minds personal beliefs.

Don't worry, I do not intend to go back to this group. The workshop was the two most uncomfortable hours I've sat through this year.

I think the problems with the death penalty are that no-two people are ever going to really agree with which crimes require it, or what kind of criminals deserve it. I'd like to put a question across to everyone. Of those murderers who would eventually be released without the death penalty, one...

I agree with using surgery to improve someone's life because of deformities at birth, or manipulating genetics to enable families to have children that don't carry their genetic diseases, and to find ways of preventing cancer and so on. But there are may meanings of 'improving humanity' and I...

Exactly my thoughts. She said that the idea of the meditation was to 'learn the lessons we need to learn,' and that it took multiple lifetimes to do so. It still sounds religious to me...

I feel that science is what I can have more trust in. I know that even thought something is not properly understood now, that it is likely that someone will come along at some point and find out something else about it, that we can get as close to the truth as we can. With religion though, all...

I heard somewhere that the virgin birth actually related to Mary who was absolved of sin at birth, rather than Jesus whose father was actually mentioned, not just the holy spirit.

My comment to those on such branches of science is this: Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. No biological organism in nature will live forever, it will always end up dying, therefore I do not believe we should find ways to prevent death. Just because the physical may one day be able...

No, the meditation was not guided, apparently it was not meant to encourage any kind of imagination or visualisation. To be honest, the meditation was nothing more than I've done alone, except this one was supposed to be done with more than 3 people so that there were 'triangles of energy/light.'
