electriic ink 1 Report post Posted February 24, 2007 Some really controversial topics today that aren't necessarily making front page news but they are in newspapers: AbortionDeath penaltyEuthanasiaIran and Nuclear MaterialExistence of God Existence of Paranormal Spirits (links to Crop Circles, Personal Encounters, Sightings of Ghosts...)Life After Death (links to people claiming to have seen hell - Ian McCormack)War With IraqThat's all I can think of on the top of my head - we have to study some of these issues in Religious Studies so they are fresh in my mind.
