Theological college sounds weird.<br /><br />Roger - good point, the 50/50 symmetry does suggest some kind of brain pattern. Flight or fight is how I tend to see it but there are many other dichotomies. <br /><br />James - :)A K Haarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897490979828603179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481298417819219839.post-19311556585353312016-10-08T13:27:56.917+01:002016-10-08T13:27:56.917+01:00... the righteous nature of modern progressive att...... the righteous nature of modern progressive attitudes to social norms; in attitudes to the environment, equality, economics, race, immigration, education, social uniformity and moral behaviour. Political correctness sums up much of it, but is there a god lurking in the righteous recesses of political correctness ...<br /><br />Yes.James Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525082702330365464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481298417819219839.post-32404156372170212352016-10-08T07:51:10.181+01:002016-10-08T07:51:10.181+01:00What is religion - a branch of politics or a club ...What is religion - a branch of politics or a club for the like minded? Humans en masse seem to divide roughly 50/50 when it comes to matters guided by opinion and rhetoric - politics, court cases, advertising, elections. Even the evidence of empirical experiment is hotly disputed until it no longer matters. Maybe an artefact of the symmetry built into the mammalian brain. There is not much hope for the human.

My wife is training to be a priest and we are living in a theological college for a couple of years, so I get to meet a lot of religious people. It has often occurred to me that there is almost nothing you could say about God, Jesus, the Church, etc., that would get you into trouble. Vicars and Bishops can preach that God probably doesn't exist, and they would keep their jobs. If they so much as hinted that cultural diversity was not a benefit, though, the story would have a different ending.Sam Vegahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05978971199859845931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481298417819219839.post-26779930512767104492016-10-07T16:33:00.144+01:002016-10-07T16:33:00.144+01:00Perhaps the Gods decided to go to bed a couple of ...Perhaps the Gods decided to go to bed a couple of thousand or so years ago and are having a sleep in.Demetriushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17198549581667363991noreply@blogger.com
