What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Go! England and Wales! Go! Go! Go!

    It is a big day for those working towards more equal marriage law in the UK today. The second reading of the Bill which would allow gay couples to wed in England and Wales.

    I’ve been in touch with Ann McKechin my local MP to check she is supporting it and am delighted to report she is.

    And this isn’t a simple West Lothian question either – I’m one of her constituents. If I wanted to marry someone from Englandshire I might well want to get married there.

    Indeed, I might want to get married in a parish church there.

    But we will come to that later.

    Yep. And I think that the Primus has got it badly wrong in responding to this one.

    Allowing political and religious ad would turn us into another US, where political and religious “debate” centres on who can raise, or already has, the most money.

    Oh yes, and while we’re at it we had better ban all films from public showing which contain any religious content – eg: ‘Schindlers List’, ‘Brooklyn’, ‘Magdalen Sisters’, ‘Fury’, ‘Amazing Grace’, ‘Doubt’, etc,etc. We should not risk offending anyone should we? Idiocy – whose idiocy?

    Surely wanting political and religious ads banned from cinemas is about good taste rather than offence.

    To an unknown God The God whom we worship is both known and unknown. Out of such a paradox, Christianity was forged and hurled around the known civilized world of its day. Paul?s sermon on the hill known as the Areopagus in Athens is itself a little Pentecost ? a little of the Holy Spirit…

    Tilly’s fury at the election knows no bounds. She has taken to hissing at all visitors to the house. This started with her hissing at known Liberal Democrats, but I fear that it has now progressed to voters from all parties. She will be glad when things quieten down a bit next week. Meanwhile, people…

    Jesus says, ?I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, no-one comes to the Father except through me?. Very directly then, I want to address the question of what this verse might mean. There are after all, a number of very ugly interpretations of this verse. You do not need to go very far…
