VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|Stonyground|DATE|1373050385|CONTENT|Steve&#039;s post absolutely nails the Chief Rabbi and his belief that we need religion for moral guidance. Ever since the enlightenment we have been, step by step, moving away from religiously inspired rules, and almost every step has been a positive one. Every step has been opposed by religious voices at the time that it was taken. Those same voices have later quietly changed sides and gone on to claim the credit for the changes that they formerly opposed. I don&#039;t expect that the current arguments over gay rights and assisted dying will turn out any different.  |EMAIL|elizabeth@iww1967.wanadoo.co.uk|IP-ADDRESS|95.149.241.182|MODERATIONFLAG|
