I grew up in a family that was multifaceted sexually oriented and pretty much open to everything. And because I was working my friends were all adults. I had a tough time going to different schools because people knew me from films and I was the fat child who got beaten up every day.

Everybody has basically the same family it's just reconfigured slightly differently from one to the next.

It is the logic of consumerism that undermines the values of loyalty and permanence and promotes a different set of values that is destructive of family life.

Getting married and starting a family has been a lifelong goal and one that I have persevered through different paths up to it!

Happy or unhappy families are all mysterious. We have only to imagine how differently we would be described - and will be after our deaths - by each of the family members who believe they know us.

My family comes first. Maybe that's what makes me different from other guys.

If a country is to be corruption free and become a nation of beautiful minds I strongly feel there are three key societal members who can make a difference. They are the father the mother and the teacher.

Mr. Speaker I am deeply concerned that many regions of this world are suffering from the effects of armed conflicts with religious aspects. I believe that the differences of faith are not the real reason for these conflicts.

It's really important to say this. Often the faith schools were founded before the state provided education. I want good education in this country so I'm not going to slag off faith schools. I think that it's important that people of different backgrounds and different faiths go to school together and many faith schools do that.

There is a split between Muslims who want to practice their faith in peace and tolerance with other religions and other people and these extreme radical fundamentalists who have shown a total lack of tolerance for people with different views starting with people who they don't think are good Muslims and going on to include Christians and Jews.

I think the issue of clergy sexual abuse sparked people to look at their faith in a different way.

Great dislike to the Bible was shown by those who conversed with me about it and several have remarked to me at different times that if it were not for that book Catholics would never be led to renounce their own faith.

It is from the traditional family that we absorb those universal ideals and principles which are the teaching of Jesus the bedrock of our religious faith. We are taught the difference between right and wrong and about the law just punishment and discipline.

Science we are repeatedly told is the most reliable form of knowledge about the world because it is based on testable hypotheses. Religion by contrast is based on faith. The term 'doubting Thomas' well illustrates the difference.

We're telling a story. And the demands of that are different from the demands of a documentary. The audience must believe in order to keep faith in the story.

It's a very different thing religion and faith. Religion is man-made it's man-regulated. And faith you can define God as you wish. But I think they're two different things.

The faith religious believers have in God is small compared to the faith people put in politicians knowing how many times they have been disappointed in the past but still insisting that this time it will be different.

If you went to your closet today would you pull out the same outfit you wore 10 or 15 years ago? You wear feelings and faith differently as well.

You know this idea of going around the world imposing democracy by growing a middle-class a trading merchant class that is independent of your faith is a good notion but we're all partially different - it's no good imposing systems on people that it doesn't suit.

My faith foundation works to bring about a greater respect and understanding between different faiths. We basically work with six popular religions in the world which are the three Abrahamic religions Hinduism and Buddhism and Sikhism.

A faith is something you die for a doctrine is something you kill for. There is all the difference in the world.

A whole lot of us believers of all different religions are ready to turn back the tide of madness by walking together in both the dark and the light - in other words through life - registering voters as we go and keeping the faith.

Faith is different from proof the latter is human the former is a Gift from God.

People define Christianity differently. I think a large portion of our population are Christians they're not all growing in their faith they're not all active but I believe that a lot of people believe in Jesus and believe that he is their Lord and Savior.
