What I can't believe is that when it is raised in official forums it doesn't get laughed at.<BR/><BR/>It is obviously wrong. Me not playing cricket does not make me a sportsman. <BR/><BR/>Secularism does not even equal atheism. The atheist equivalent of opening parliament with a prayer, would not be in fact, not saying a prayer but actually saying something like:<BR/><BR/>"Given that there is no god, and that there is no divine purpose or teleological imperative to protect or further our people and our nation, let us as representatives of those people and this nation solemly vow to act only in the interests of those who have given us such great responsibility. God wont save them if we don't."<BR/><BR/>Secularism merely says that your government should be as religious as your computer technician. Whatever they get up to in private is their own business, but if your IT guru starts sprinkling holy water on your server and mumbling about transubstantiation you need a new IT guy. It's the same thing with Governments and for the same reasons.<BR/><BR/> Religions are about what should be done, Governments are about what can be done given that folk have a well known tendancy to differ in their opinions about what should be done. It's also been fairly well shown that governments that tell people what to think don't work out that well, and telling people what to think is the thing religions seem to be best at doing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36994129.post-48558955887624183102007-02-14T15:15:00.000+13:002007-02-14T15:15:00.000+13:00Apropos of Wishart: a stopped clock is right twice...Apropos of Wishart: a stopped clock is right twice a day.stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04486889878636801969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36994129.post-89797043138289274302007-02-13T22:10:00.000+13:002007-02-13T22:10:00.000+13:00Speaking of Inter faith dialogue, you may know tha...Speaking of Inter faith dialogue, you may know that the Anglicans and Roman Catholics have been at it for some years, with view to return of Anglicans to the fold.<BR/><BR/>They have developed a position on the place of Mary, that took about 5 years I think.
