Hear, hear ..... :pipe:

If I were to get married again, I'd like a legal Humanist ceremony ..... :banana:

Why can't the bride and groom at a humanist wedding simply just sign the marriage register after the ceremony like they do at most religious wedding services ??

For the same reason that you can't jump over a broom and then sign the register - because it isn't recognised in British law. Neither is a Hindu wedding ceremony, for instance, recognised by British law. Hindus have to marry in a religious ceremony and also at a register office.

That sounds like fun................if you're a witch

I'm with the Mentalist on this one, they don't exist. They are mostly fat goths in panne velvet.

Oh.... So only Christian churches have this dispensation to not have to have another Civil ceremony ??

It has been a good debate over the last 2 days,all that I have been able to see of it.
A good and convincing result

I don't disagree with a lot he says but for me,somehow, what an irritating MP Dr Julian Huppert is.

Just in case you hadn't realised

Of course I knew do you fink i'm fick? :joker:
Just thought if jack was about he may want to continue his thread based on the comments.

lol fair enough, just thought you might have overlooked it

If I'm honest I think the gay marriage debate has become very tired now and this QT discussion has just gone over old territory, for the record I am in favour of equal marriage but I do think that some of those who are against it get unfairly vilified at times, although those comments of Ian Pailsey that Dimbleby quoted were pretty disgraceful

i'm all for gay marriage too, but I think that if you don't believe in it yourself, it's fair enough. you shouldn't get hate for having an opinion.

however, if you go about it in awful ways, trying to cause arguments etc, then yes, you deserve hate. and I think this happens in both cases of being for and against gay marriage.

if those who aren't fussed about gay marriage are getting bored of it, imagine how those who are pro feel :tongue:

The guy on Question Time tonight, i think he was from the Democrat Union party? never heard of it before, but, man he was the most bigoted politician i've ever heard. I couldn't believe my ears. he makes Sarah Palin seem tolerant.

He's an Irish politician and an MP from Northern Ireland Lostalex, he is Ian Paisley jnr, the other Ian Paisley was even worse.
I agree he is really bigoted,he says little I have any agreement with.

They used to be the Ulster Unionist party and were for a long time closely bonded to the Conservative party.
They,the Ulster Unionist party, then went through arguments and his Dad Ian Paisley snr formed and led the Democratric Unionist party.

It was never going to be as readily accepted in Ireland due to the religious aspect.
That is in no way a slur, I was surprised there weren't more audience members who felt the same as Paisley jr on that.
