Thread Name: BS: Religious beliefs - no standing in law
Subject: RE: BS: Religious beliefs - no standing in law
As a practicing Christian, I have always held the belief that everybody should be allowed to worship, and act, according to theur own conscience. However, I agree that this particular person should not have taken a job as a sex counsellor unless it was specifically to bring this matter into the public eye through the courts.
What I object to is the continued effort by this and to some extent previous governments to tell me how I should exercise or apply my beliefs.
I do not believe in abortion, or same sex marriages but respect the right of others to do so.

Overall, we are in danger of allowing government officers to force their particular stance on certain matters on us all and I cannot accept that that does good for anybody.
