I do have some sympathy on that stance. I mean with what people know today about history in general, why would any sane person want to go down that same horrible path, make the same mistakes all over again. It doesn't make any sense. So yes, why not learn from the past, not use the behaviours of others as an excuse, and do it better yourself. Especially for a religion of peace as so often is being exclaimed.
And not just religions
Although the irony, if you can call it that as I find it rather sad, is that forgiveness and lack of judgement is a big part of many religions.
And not just religions
Indeed, now which one is Nikon, Canon or Pentax
Maybe not paganism, but the crusading knights were hardly peaceful in their attempts to convert the heretics & heathens,
I'm curious, care to expand?

I thought you might have, just checkingI forgot to add a sarcastic smiley
I can't remember it the exact name of the one that we having just googled it there seems to be so many like marriage encounter and engaged encounter weekends. All I remember if being given the choice of a setting in Central London, or a rural weekend away somewhere in Wales. I choose the latter
There were I think 8 engaged couples there during the weekend, we had to sleep in separate rooms and that is not just from the other couples 
But yes it was a nicely chilled weekend away with interesting discussions, and great food and drink. And we are still married
And the same for mountain bikers, should be done in their own backyard and not interfere with anyone else.
Actually I meant the actual idea behind it, was it accepting a certain religion? As you mentioned so your wife could do the whole church thing? I remember something from the past, my cousin had to go through. Some kind of pre ceremony, before she could marry into a catholic family
No but I get iffy looking dog walkers letting their dogs p*** up my fledgling hedge
luckily I was outside with a hose pipe rinsing my car off . .oops maybe that'll work for you too?
Ah sorry. No the idea behind it wasn't accepting a certain religion, I would just not do that at all. Now I am not expert on this, only done it once a long time ago
So highly subjective which was one of my arguments against the whole thing but for the sake of my wife I kept quiet about that. As my wife was well known in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) and done a lot of work of the years, many solo choir performances including Westminster and Barbican etc The priest agreed, following a discussion with myself as well, and the engagement encounter weekend, that we could have the full mass with marriage rite as it was in the interest of the whole of the parish. And at the day I knew why, the turnout was beyond my imagination, people were standing along the back and sides. He made the right decision.
No they don't, well not that I know off, but they are oh so annoying when they go over the paths that I am walking my dog off the lead.
That is not what I suggested at all, but you don't want it advertised nor interfere with anything. You have an intolerance to that. I don't mind mountain bikers as long as they do it in their own backyard

PS. I've got nothing against mountain bikers, as long as they don't wear the stupid reflective clothing in the country side. My dog especially likes the blue reflective colour and thinks they are a big chewy toy
Then he's doubly f****d if he rocks up on my drive!
And that is exactly my point, others will feel the same about certain things that you do. So your views aren't intolerant, but theirs are? Do you realise how ridiculous that sounds when you think about it? Then again I am not holding my breath for agreement on that one

Naturally...I'm glad it is all so clear to you.
Why thank you
