For ignoring repeated warnings and not learning from his temporary bans. Normally Neal goes by the three strikes and you're out rule on these things, but waste gate actually had 4 or 5 before he finally got kicked.

Anyway, that's not what this thread is about.

I like how he's (the archbishop that is) all shocked and defensive now. He could at least stay quiet and let it blow over now, but I guess he's intent on letting this gaffe roll on into something that'll probably do him and others no good.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone keelhauls the bishop after this one...

I feel that many of the world's problems come from people misunderstanding one another, but I don't know. I could just as likely be wrong. Maybe someday we'll see a world like that, perhaps not in our lifetimes, but maybe it will exist someday.

Maybe Neal could keelhaul all politicians and clerics and scribes of all religions - then maybe we would win the freedom to have it your way!

Neal - if you please...?

From what I heared, Colorado would be one of my picks, too. Before some huge bushfires some years ago that killed a lot of forest, Minnesota (I think, some state with an M at the beginning

) also would have been on my list to see: I like huge forests. and of course Alaska. I have this theory that every man's character or soul matches one type of landscape more than any other, like a totem, and for me, that has always been Northern forests.

Huge cities is what I am less interested in. NY and LA I probably would ignore completely if ever doing a trip across the states :p

Suggesting that the British government should change it's laws to suit the Muslims is a load of crap, & for a Christian to make this statement is ludacris!

The Pope should give the Archbishop a swift kick in the backside!

Agreed, but the Pope has no influence ovr the Archbishop. Bah, just get rid of the state church. I mean disestablish it, no need for state religion in the 21st century.

Sharia fiasco:

Loudest and most possible applaus to this.

bookworm_020 · 02-10-08, 05:22 PM

He's a nutter! This guy has done more harm to the church than anything else in years. He dosen't represent the vast majority of people in the Anglican church. I like to see him try and get some changes for christians in muslim countries and see how far he gets!

STEED · 02-10-08, 05:59 PM

It's alright for the rest of the world we have to put up with this wet liberal.

silentrunner · 02-10-08, 06:33 PM

If there was some strange religion that called for a member to kill 12 people a month, it would still be illegall, there is a difference in religion and government. If you break a law no matter if it is part of your religion or not you must pay the price.

Damn I just got promoted, I'm bald now

What an idiot. The Archbishop that is.

Generally, it reminds me somehow of barbarians invading the Roman Empire.
The Empire has not fallen just because of military purposes, but once the Romans accepted the incursion of the barbarians the case was lost and just the matter of time before they became minority in their own land. And the barbarians didn`t take accept much of the civilization - most of it got lost very soon

And the very guy, well, I`m not British so I won`t comment his statements.

Tchocky · 02-11-08, 05:00 PM

An idiot to say it is inevitable, yes.

Remember that there are Jewish courts in use every day in Britain.

Just to give another dimension to this British-law-above-all attitude that seems rather common.

STEED · 02-11-08, 05:04 PM

And what action is there to be taken? None.

I don't see that there's a need for action quite yet. Religious courts are there for non-criminal disputes for subsections of society. Whether there is a need for these is a different argument than this.
I suspect this mess is about the gaffe-prone Williams mentioning the S-word rather than any substantive disagreement.

Sharia law? Oh that's all about stoning rape victims, isn't it?
