    Can Religion Do No Wrong?

    The way I see it is that religions are founded by man, interperated by man, administered by man and more often than not run for the benefit of man. No doubt my claim that that religions are 'founded' by man will be questioned but consider, why are there so many. Every major religion has numerous...

    Sex and the Church

    Excellent answer - but I have to say, it appears to me that it is not what a lot of churches believe. I hate to revert to the Catholic Church who appear to have the strongest concerns. On one hand it doesn't believe in birth control and one the other, who are the worst offenders when it comes to...

    Sex and the Church

    OK, Nutshell, I think I see where you're at but when it gets to the stage that the Spirit means more than the flesh, as you put it, then the Church will be in big trouble. In fact, I believe that there is a great shortage of priests and nuns already in the Catholic Church, for example, although...

    Sex and the Church

    I'm surprised!! Why? Surprised to find sex mentioned in this site, that's why. Religions generally have a great problem with sexuality. As I see it, most of them are besotted by it but usually, in this time, it's condemnation against gays mostly but also about most things connected to one of...

    Cardinal Law

    I didn't meet Stalin either, nor Hiltler, nor Pol Pot.

    Cardinal Law

    Can any of you Roman Catholics out there please explain why Cardinal Law, a man of doubtful morals, finds himself in an exhalted position in the Vatican. Has his sins been forgiven - or overlooked?

    Truth? Which truth?

    Thank you for your thoughts, people. I remember reading once that a newly discovered village in darkest New Guinea had 40 (yes 40!) missionaries from various religions (or branches of) waiting to pounce as soon as they got the option! No wonder, the primative people were and are confused and...

    Truth? Which truth?

    You find yourself on a desert island (desert in the sense that it cut off from the rest of the world). You are a missionary and you are clutching your Bible. You also find yourself in company with another very nice person who turns out to be a Muslim. He/she is holding a copy of the Koran. The...

    Homosexuality...

    Just as a 'by the way', when Queen Victoria, away back, was asked to sign the Act of Parliament putting into law the fact that Homosexuality was criminal, she baulked, saying that women wouldn't do such a thing and that is why Lesbianism was not included as a crime in Britain! Don't think it is...

    Was the war justified?

    Depends whether you are Bush supporter or not. I have seen a report which Rumsfeld said, the day after Sept 11th, 'Let's bomb Afghanistan!' Some general said, 'No! Afghanistan is too hard. Not enough good targets. Let's go for Iraq. Better targets.' and they did.(I won't even mention Saudi...

    Evolution vs. Creation, which is logical?

    I have often wondered if Creationists can accept medical research which advances the cure of some (unfortunatly, not ALL - yet) diseases. Medical research goes down many dead ends and blind alleys until a cure is found. It's the way of science. Why not the same thing with evolution. Research...

    Is The Bible Finished?

    Which Church? Whose Church?

    Jesus can NOT be BOTH "Son Of God" and also descendant of David.

    I call it 'Selective Believing.' EVERY religion with a Book suffers from it. That's why there is a good living in Theology.

    Hello everybody

    Thanks Everybody - Great to be welcomed by you all! I have this belief that Fundamenalists have no sense of humour. Prove me wrong! I loved the recently departed Dave Allen who never stopped making jokes about religion. I reckon that he had more humanity and feeling for his fellow man than a...

    Whatever happened to virginity and celibacy?

    Did you hear about the time, way back, when the monks were working on the Bible translation? It was hard work and had been going on for a long time. Heaps of manuscripts to examine and read and understand. Heaps of scrolls to translate - the dust flew, fingers got numb transcribing, eyes got...
