Changing beliefs; LETTERS to the EDITOR.

SO, UNMARRIED couples with children who want to get married will now be able to baptise their children and get married at the same time? The Church says it is responding to a real demand after they found that one-fifth of couples taking part in the marriage ceremony already had children, and denies that the change will undermine its teaching on the sinfulness of sex outside of marriage.

But surely, once again, this is religion changing its belief because they are losing people. What's next, buy one christening, get one free? Once upon a time, you couldn''t have your child christened if they were conceived out of wedlock. That has changed. So, what does this say about religion? What does it say about belief if you simply keep changing it.

I agree that religions need to change and move with the times, but it does most definitely show that religion is purely a man-made institution.
