God is Truth. Truth, to my mind, cannot be captured by image, phrase or word. I think there is something of this Truth in everyone and everything.
I wouldn't presume to speak for God and when I speak about God I understand that I am talking about myself.
Funny that. I was taught as a child that the papists (i.e. roman catholics) were trying to outbreed us (i.e. protestants). Their huge families made it inevitable that soon they would outnumber us. I was also taught that they were lazy and feckless.
It was of course utter tosh. However I...
Workers will be convinced that inequity is actually to their benefit, that they are consumers rather than citizens and that wealth transfer is a ridiculous nineteenth century idea with no place in the modern world.
While all this is happening there will be a massive transfer of wealth from the...
I have heard the view expressed that in order to have faith one must first work through doubt.
I think that many sincerely held relationships that people feel themselves to have with their God develop off the back of atheism.
It is of course easy from the outside. My gut reaction from the outside was 'no'. However, watching both sides as the campaign unfolded swung me to the 'yes' side.
I think this campaign has shown me that the union is a relic whose time has passed.

I think it might be just beginning.
It is going to be interesting to see how this plays out over the coming months and years.

The issue is also broader than religion. I do not believe, for example, that one is necessarily responsible for the actions of ones...
You make my point for me. Thank you. We all see everything through the lens of our own minds. We see things as we are. I see my answer in a wholly different light than you did. There is no reality apart from us lying around waiting to be picked up. Your mind does not perceive a reality...
I have spent most of my adult life pursuing education. I think education is wonderful.
Clearer picture? Depends on the subject.
The most educated people I have been fortunate enough to meet were modest regarding their knowledge.
It seems to me that wise people would regard knowledge as...
I was having a conversation about the Scottish vote yesterday and the person I was chatting to made what I thought was a very good point. They reckoned that Cameron was more alike a manipulator in an abusive relationship than someone talking about a divorce.
Is Islam about the Koran or submission to God?
