Show: The Big Questions (recorded Nov. 25, 2007)

Hosts: Nicky Campbell and Sonia Deol

Discussion Panel: Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey, Richard Dawkins, Ann Widdecombe, and Jonathan Bartley. Additional Guest: John Barrowman (actor and singer).

Discussion Topics:
(1.) Should blasphemy REMAIN illegal in Great Britain? (2.) John Barrowman talks about being gay, the origins of his homosexuality, telling his parents that he is gay, the way many religions cause gays to feel about their homosexuality, and offending people. (3.) Is it really possible and good to live without lying? Is it sometimes necessary to lie? (4.) Should children be labeled as belonging to a particular religion? In their effort to bring up their children in their religious faith, are religious parents too dogmatic in their assertions regarding The Truth? Do they unduly restrict their children's exploration of other options? Do they unwittingly sabotage their children's capacity for critical thinking?

  • Richard Dawkins is an atheist and a good man; deal with it, religiosis suffering idiots!

  • Fuck this? Fuck religion as a whole. Teaching moral values is ok, but mixing moral values with made up stories with no base of truth is wrong. You can teach moral values without telling them there is an invisible man in the sky.
