Anonymous at 5.49 pm it is hard to give credulity to you saying 'I hear cries of" etc when we don't know who 'I' is. If a view is worth expressing it is surely worth owning.

I would add my own comment - not, I hope at odds with those of Chris Baker who, if I am correct speaks with some authority on matters religious - which is that, however much Munby thinks the courts are not religious they do owe a lot to Christianity, particularly the law of equity which was itself based in the notion of conscience as understood by Christians in the early middle ages.

We may now see things differently but there's no escaping our heritage. Rather than trying to ignore it we ought to be adapting it to the world in which we live. A man I respect deeply once told me that, although he had no belief in any kind of God or afterlife he believed that, as a template for leading a good and decent life the teachings of Jesus Christ were as good as any and better than most. Having now arrived at the same place as him I entirely agree.
