Ok - today I'm studying and writing the final part of my sociology essay! If thats not enough to think about, I've also been thinking about some of the questions that were asked at 'Grill a Vicar night' at Sudbury Eden Project last night!
The questions that have really stuck in my mind are 'Is dating right? Should we be friends first?', 'What is you're opinion on suicide? Do you think people who commit suicide would still go to heaven?' and 'How long should you be with someone before together you start thinking about marriage?'.
I thought I'd post these questions to see what other people think! There was a huge debate on these questions amongst the youth at eden but it would still be interesting what others come up with!
Happy thinking!

There's a webcomic i read that has looked at the suicide topic, and i'll post a link to the page in question: http://www.pholph.com/index_a.php?Strip=514
i think this sums up my view completely on the subject, but, it depends on how desperate the victim is.
When things are really bad, God's love is eclipsed by despair, because we turn inwards, and don't seek help. This is the most dangerous time, because if the person's friendships (or their survival instinct) isn't strong enough, then they may kill themselves.
Once someone has decided that death isn't that bad, they're always one step down that road, no matter what happens. Friends are really important, because they can spot the warning signs, and help.
Dating is fine, as far as i can see, it's 'playing the field' that's a problem. Yes, people need to feel loved, and going on lots of dates with lots of people is a great way to feel that, but you'll feel unfulfilled after a while, and the specialness will fade away. Then, you'll find it harder to fall in love, and you may never be happy with anyone. Affairs can follow...
But, (and this is important) dating is NOT wrong, it helps people to find out what someone is like as a partner, what their feelings are, and how comfortable they are being seen with you, so never give up, just don't go on dates for the sake of it.
I think that as questions go, it could have been a lot worse! ;-)
yeah, at least i didn't go OVER THE TOP (too much)
Sorry for hijaking your blog, Clare.
