    I agree and religion is also a point of view. It seems they both loose credibility when folk what to make science into a religion or religion into a science (creationists?).

    And the Lord spake unto the philosopher, "I am the Lord thy God, and I am the source of all that is good. Why does thy secular moral philosophy ignore me?"

    And the philosopher spake unto the Lord, "To answer I must first ask you some questions. You command us to do what is good. But is it good because you command it, or do you command it because it is good?"

    "Ur," said the Lord. "It's good because I command it?"

    "The wrong answer, surely, your mightyness! If the good is only good because you say it is so, then you could, if you wished, make it so that torturing children was good. But that would be absurd, wouldn't it?"

    "Of course!" replied the Lord. "I tested thee and thou hast made me pleased. What was the other choice again?"

    "You choose what is good because it is good. But that shows quite clearly that goodness does not depend on you at all. So we don't need to study God to study the good."

    "Even so," spake the Lord, "you've got to admit I've written some pretty good text books on the subject..."

    Atheists - We don't let God bother us!

    I didn't like any of those 60s supergroups, all that bloody twiddling on guitar and daft shirts.

    My opinion - of course there's a God. Not a bearded Joss Naylor-like figure in a big chair wrapped in a sheet but definitely some higher-power creator / destroyer force

    hmm good question DT but if CT carrys on annoying me i will tell you sooner rather than later cos me and him won't be in court we will be waiting for the gods of hell

    got to go waiting for the liquor store to open..

    I drove past one of those church advertising boards the other day. It said:

    "Jesus - comforting the disturbed and disturbing the comfortable."

    Bizarre eh?
