    What do you think?

    What is the problem? Being gay is as normal as being straight. It is only bigots who have a problem with homosexuality

    Is it morally or ethically acceptable to choose the gender of your child?

    I am not happy about this one as it could lead to a gender imbalance. Obviously if there is a genetic disease passed down through one sex then if might be acceptable to select embryos of the other sex.

    I find that a very sick philosophy!

    LA Episcopalians elect lesbian bishop

    The more gay people there are in positions of authority in the church the better. Maybe a lesbian Pope one day!

    'Believe in God!' is Lakeland Man's Answer to Atheists

    No one is stigmatised for being an atheist in the UK. You can be what you like on the whole as long as you don't force your religion, or lack of it, down the throats of others.

    Well said. Did the mythical Adam and Eve walk down the aisle together?

    Do condoms belong in public schools?

    I find that a stupid argument. People should be able to enjoy sex without risking pregnancy and the almost inevitable abortion if a child is unwanted! Not every woman wants to be a mother, my youngest sister didn't want kids, nor did her husband, she was sensibly sterilised, as I was when I had...

    Is it ethical and moral to put your faith before your children?

    The passage you're referring to did NOT have God encouraging abuse of a child. There was a powerful point and message there. Didn't God supposedly ask Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, and then in effect say, "Just joking", as Abraham was about to do the deed. That is child abuse is any normal...

    Is it Ethical For Sexual Orientation to Influence Scientific Views?

    I don't know what sexual orientation has to do with anything, you are either gay or straight, it shouldn't matter at all!

    Is it ethical and moral to put your faith before your children?

    There have been one or too cases of that nature just recently. When our adopted Down's syndrome son was 16 months old, in 1986, he had to have a lifesaving blood transfusion owing to a rare blood disorder, which wasn't known about at the time of his adoption. A few days later a couple of JWs...

    Do condoms belong in public schools?

    When I was about twelve I decided it would be nice to have a brother. My parents had four girls, my mother declared the 13th would be a boy, and was stopping at four. I decided to give nature a helping hand, and finding a batch of condoms in my father's bedside cabinet, I pierced each with a...

    Would you make money out of it?

    I also believe that the miracles that Jesus' performed in his ministry couldn't be explained away with science, even science that hasn't been thought of yet. We have no idea if they were correctly reported or sensationalised, which is more likely, imo. I suspect Jesus was good at sleight of...

    Man Arrested for Throwing Tomatoes at Sarah Palin, Police Say

    Need you ask? People in the UK were incredulous that she could have been picked as a running mate for McCain, someone screwed up somewhere along the line. The woman comes over as completely nasty and unpleasant every time she opened her mouth!

    Do condoms belong in public schools?

    I can only be thankful I live in the UK! Obviously a person would be charged with rape, whatever their age, if they forced someone to have sex against their will.

    Living with your partner before marriage

    Our two now married daughters lived with their partners for a couple of years before they married with our blessing. We thought it was very sensible. Too many marriages end in failure, so a trial run, so to speak, is helpful in order that a couple can assess whether they are likely to be able to...
