I think it is human nature to debate , theres nothing like the challenge of a good debate. But the thing about does God exist is that it can never be universal. I can gather information that convinces me as an individual but i could never gather information that convinces all intelegable people...

I understand where you are comming from and I did apologise for using such an example. But my concept is not that religion spawms morality , rather morality spawns religion. I am trying to say that religion spawns lifestyle.

Hey big boy james If you dont Mind keeping this discussion at an adult level I would happily explain why I voted yes To begin with phscological work by kohlberg and Fowler has shown that Morality and faith develops in 6 stages. This is not at all religious but it is a cognitive process which...

What do you think of the idea of having school chaplains? I think it is good because it is not forced just optional for students and some people really need a bit of help from a religious view point. I had a scripture teacher and i thought it was great ! learnt a lot of things about society...
