♦ ficino ♦ Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 In May, Welby said that it's right and proper that England allowed same-sex marriage, and that he thinks "it's great" that it's allowed. The Church of England had to affirm officially its opposition to same-sex marriage after Welby's statement. Now they have to spin his "doubts." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/religion/10828762/Archbishop-of-Canterbury-Justin-Welby-says-gay-marriage-is-great.html A little like the RCs trying to handle what the Pope says in the media. I like how Welby both expresses doubts sometimes about God and expresses support for gays and lesbians. Sort of makes me think that again, religious orthodoxy is about the only basis for vociferous argument in favor of oppression (in one form or another) of people based on sexuality.

Moderator Margee Posted September 23, 2014 Moderator Share Posted September 23, 2014 He completely contradicts himself. He is really a non-believer deep down inside but it would cost him way to much to fully admit it. That's the feeling i got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castiel233 Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 If the highest ranked Christian Vicar in the UK has doubts about the Christian God then "God" help the rest of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwc Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 We're told that Thomas, among others, had doubts. It's part and parcel of the religion. mwc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
