Like others, I'm really surprised at Tony Benn. It's not that he's a Christian as seeing the way he reacted to the questions I suspect that he isn't. Either that or he is embarrassed. My real surprise was his reaction to science and scientists and his claim that science does not provide us with a moral code and so what good is it?
It's not really sciences place to provide us with a moral code although I think it could do just as good a job as any other discipline. He may as well have been having a go at the Gas Companies for not providing a sense of purpose or meaning in life
hock: It's nothing to do with them either.
It must be obvious that we get our sense of morals from our upbringing and as a part of a 'working' society. If we were to follow all the social and behavioural teachings from the bible then we would all be living in a very dangerous and fearful society where many of us would long ago have been put to death.
