Unfortunately, within a democracy, it is voting for who is most morally correct and a viable candidate. Else there’s not much point in voting, except for one’s own satisfaction. Within the current political climate in the UK, it seems to me pathetic to be constantly voting for people on the...

I should add, sound in terms of his professed positions. There are, of course, ongoing investigations, of which I was saddened to hear.

Thank you for your message and words of encouragement. I won’t get into the political weeds — I could lecture on the topic, at this point — but Nigel Farage and Reform UK are not the answer sadly. And I’m not on the political Left either. Of the main personnel of Reform, most of whom I dislike...

It depends on national political context. My own country is highly secularised, and politics here is well beyond saving for this reason (also corruption and other problems naturally associated with godlessness). I have disengaged from politics completely for these very reasons. To many people...

Not a great photo (indeed, it is an extract from another photo), nor a particularly recent one; but it’s all I have :ROFL:

As with any other minority population, it is looking for a spouse within a strata, further complicated by local and regional demographic characteristics (e.g., areas with large student populations or higher average ages).

Thank you for your considered response! She was baptised I believe, but is firmly atheistic. I’ve never pushed her on it, as she is evidently set in her ways (I’ve always adhered to the idea of trying to set a good example, rather than confronting). You discern correctly my dilemma about...

Yes; this is the approach I take too - to hold firm on matters of principle.

I do spend the majority of time with my male friends already; she and I have always been explicitly non-romantic, so there’s no attraction there on either part. My worry, principally, was whether or not such differences are tolerable, not that one of us might get funny ideas about the other, as...

Hello, I know this isn’t strictly family-related, but we are very close. I’d like to hear some both moral and religious perspectives on the suitability of being best friends with, and spending time with, a non-Christian. My best friend is a relatively moral person, but we differ radically on...

That’s my general attitude too, to accomplish as much as I can otherwise. Thanks Lynx!

These are a lot of good tips! It’s just a matter of getting on the social ladder I suppose, as you rightly suggest. From there, hopefully good things will follow, beyond the spiritual fulfilment derived from doing good.

I shall pray, as you suggest. Thank you.

To elaborate slightly on my reply to Lynx, since I was about 18 I felt a draw back to faith, that only truly strengthened - forgive me, it is not something I can articulate precisely - at the start of this year. I felt it entirely natural and logical to accept God again, in that period...

Thank you kindly for the tips, which I have taken mental note of, but I meant my question more locationally i.e. how and where in terms of places to go (physically and virtually). Sorry for being unclear.
