believe religion sweden
I believe that religion should be totally separated from the state. That's not the way it is today, not even in Sweden.
religious rights average
And also a lot of Muslims are no more religious then the average Swede. For them it's natural that human rights come first.
crazy tired ideas
I'm so incredibly tired of giving respect to a lot of delusions and crazy ideas just because they are regarded as religions.
jesus power years
The story of Jesus is very fascinating. It still has such a tremendous power, even after 2,000 years! We don't really know if he existed as a historical figure.
rights religion lines
The UN declaration on human rights must always be first in line before religion or other cultural habits, in case of any conflict between them.
moving america band
The situation in America is when it starts moving there, all the bands from England move over to America and work from there, so that they're available all the time for everyone that wants them in person.
people attention songwriters
Before the Beatles, songwriters were very anonymous people and nobody paid any attention to them.
museums scene theater
There is a very vibrant cultural scene in Stockholm. There are lots of places where there are concerts, and there are loads of museums and theaters.
song inspiration writing
Well mostly in song writing my experience is that there isn't so much inspiration as hard work. You sit there for hours, days and weeks with a guitar and piano until something good comes.
queens fall dancing
When ABBA broke up, I assumed our music would fall into oblivion so in the early 90's with BJRN AGAIN becoming popular and when U2 invited Benny and I on stage to sing Dancing Queen, I just assumed we were being sent up. But now I see they were paying tribute to us
rights strive humans
Cultural variety is always worth striving for, but must never precede the declaration of human rights.
believe people environmental
Contempt for science could perhaps depend on the fact that, science hasn't been able to solve any of our basic problems, for example the environmental pollution or the problems with HIV and AIDS. This is the worst disease of our time, and scientists are lost. I believe that many people are disappointed with science when the answers we need are not delivered.
children indoctrination humans
Freedom from indoctrination ought to be a basic human right for all children.
rights being-human equal
Some values must be universal, like human rights and the equal worth of every human being.
