We love Jesus so much that we would grieve Him a lot by not being allowed, by law, to follow our conscience when He tells us that gay practice contravenes the bible. We love gay people and are aware that their lifestyle has led the NHS to prohibit some of them to donate blood, because of the health risks involved. We cringe at the society that this legislation is helping to create – a society of people being branded as criminals for honestly following the dictates of their conscience. Is this really just and fair?
It’s all well and good, but let’s just try a find-and-replace and see what falls out…

I’m going to go with ‘yes’ on this one.
And to go with it, a couple of other divinely inspired nonsense from the archives.
We are requesting that ratings produced for DVDs and other digital media by the BBFC will incorporate warnings of language considered blasphemous to Christians; that the name and/or title of Jesus Christ, when used without reverence, be noted. We believe that in the sanctity of one’s home people should be given greater control to wisely choose what they see and hear; that entertainment products should carry sufficient warning for this to be achieved.
UK institutions already go to great lengths to protect the feelings of other religious and secular minorities. Sincere Bible-believing Christians should also be offered this same respect and consideration. We do not think that this is too much to ask in a tolerant society. We are not even asking for such offensive material to be banned as many others do, because we know how futile this would be in light of the abolition of the blasphemy laws, but we only request that we are given simple warning of its presence in recorded purchasable media.
Andrew: Start your own damn ratings board and do it yourself. If there are as many people who give a damn as you think then it will be easy.
Ben: Oh, fuck right off.
I believe that any places of worship should now be built as multi-faith centres and not just for one religion to support the diverse cultures in this country.
As land is in short supply now and very expensive I think it would be justified to build one building to cater for all faiths and communities.
Instead of having separate places of worship, people will meet from all faiths and practises. This will provide an opportunity for people from all backgrounds and faiths to meet and understand each others religions.
Recently there was a story about a mosque application in Torquay for a very small group of muslims. To make the project of building a place of worship more viable, build a place of worship for all.
We need to have places of worship for all, not just one or two religions who have the loudest voice.
Andrew: Or how about, you can build whatever you want as long as you can pay for it? Including taxes. That would solve it, yes?
