rights religion lines
The UN declaration on human rights must always be first in line before religion or other cultural habits, in case of any conflict between them.
believe religion sweden
I believe that religion should be totally separated from the state. That's not the way it is today, not even in Sweden.
affect colored concern decisions medieval political politics religion state
My concern is to keep religion and the state separated. I don't think that religion and politics go together. When you see political decisions colored by religion, decisions that affect us all... I thought: 'I do not want to go back to medieval times.'
achieving constructs democratic equality pulled refuse religion secular social sweden towards
Sweden is an open, liberal, secular and democratic country. We strive towards achieving equality; we are forward-looking and refuse to be pulled back by social constructs such as religion.
conviction countries criticize dare far few less middle might misery punched religion saying
Look at all the misery in the Middle East, for example. All these countries have Islam in common, and far too few dare to criticize Islam as an ideology, and what it's doing to these countries. I know I might get punched in the face for saying these things, but my conviction is that less religion in the world would be better.
lack misery religion root
Religion is the root of so much misery in the world, and I've always thought there is lack of criticism against it.
believe people environmental
Contempt for science could perhaps depend on the fact that, science hasn't been able to solve any of our basic problems, for example the environmental pollution or the problems with HIV and AIDS. This is the worst disease of our time, and scientists are lost. I believe that many people are disappointed with science when the answers we need are not delivered.
religious rights average
And also a lot of Muslims are no more religious then the average Swede. For them it's natural that human rights come first.
crazy tired ideas
I'm so incredibly tired of giving respect to a lot of delusions and crazy ideas just because they are regarded as religions.
faith religious believe
I believe that religious faith schools are highly dubious.
jesus power years
The story of Jesus is very fascinating. It still has such a tremendous power, even after 2,000 years! We don't really know if he existed as a historical figure.
moving america band
The situation in America is when it starts moving there, all the bands from England move over to America and work from there, so that they're available all the time for everyone that wants them in person.
people attention songwriters
Before the Beatles, songwriters were very anonymous people and nobody paid any attention to them.
careers trying steps
In my career the push has always been to take another step, to try something new.
