The Kintyre Forum

Was watching the news today and both these were on.

I know the BNP are extreme with their views, but surely what is going on with the English clergy just now with the announcement from the pope today is just as radical on the equality system.

There is clergymen on the TV saying that they are activly leaving one faith to follow another becasue the English church is allowing female preachers, do these people really still live in the dark ages?

Well I would hazard a guess, that they do. Superstitious beliefs thrived and indeed actively contributed to the stagnation of free thought during the Middle, or Dark ages.. Paganism was under growing pressure, from the relatively new belief of Christianity. Pagans had at least some understanding, as to the ways of nature and Mother Earth. Christianity on the other hand made no such demands.

Historically all life in the course of it's development - splits divides - perhaps we as a species, are the best example of this.
This is a universal law, one that is applicable to all, without contradiction or exception. It would appear that the same said force exists in all things ( organisations ) in the course of their growth and development. Marxism is split down the middle, no less so - than than all those things, that give ignorance fueled superstition - a higher place on the scale of things - than they or we - truly deserve.

Spiritual beliefs are personal.

Churches or any "organised" religions are political ... and open to politics.

Yes and like anything else, they can be shared. All revolutions share a common thread, some would describe this as being ( for want of a better term ) spiritual. That type of fire that burns, fueled both by injustice, and that moral need, to right a perceived, wrong... Something that the progressives elements in society, would quickly embrace. At the end of the day, shared and common goals, can and do reflect, spirit.
