Rhidian Brook, try having a shower and save water and the planet. Or else share your bath with your spouse like a former Archbishop of Canterbury, Robert Runcie used to !

Excellent. And so true. I shall try too to 'be still and know that God is God'.Thank you.

We are studying Religion and Media this part of the term and we have just listened to your thought of the day. It is an interesting point to combine the Bible and the banks at this time we are so worried with the credit crunch and the recesion. It was therefore very comforting to hear again that "we cannot do Greater Good but we must do what we can in our day to day situations to help the others.

Giles Fraser, if death doesnt have the power of ultimate triumph, pray tell us, who does ? Your hope is so wishy-washy, run-of-the-mill, pot of gold at the end of the rainbow promising some New Jerusalem abracadabra one hears at your Christian funerals. Etiquette helps us to breathe a sigh of relief at the end of your POEM. War kills itself and they are uncalled for today. Instead, the Church should fight disease, malnutrition, illiteracy and even lack of clean drinking water which kills innocent children in some countries. Death is real and natural but untimely death can be prevented in most cases. TFDs can focus on real issues and fight the Last Enemy, not Death, dear vicar, but Ignorance.

Wonderful to hear a clergyman (or anyone!) speak with humanity but honestly about death. Thank you.

Dr Giles Fraser's TftD today (All Soul's Day) was probably the most logically coherent Christian view of death that I've ever heard.

Thank you to the (I think) associate Dean of St Pauls this morning for his fine presentation of the Christian/Biblical view of death. It was like breathing clean, pure air to hear truth expressed so clearly and kindly. Lets have more 'truth' on Thought for the day and in radio 4 generally.

Vishvapani's TFD teems with turgid pedagogy so early in the morning. Instead, how refreshing it always is to hear Lionel Blue or for that matter, simple, uncomplicated chants like: Buddham/Dharmam/Sangham sharanam gacchammi.......

Mr Vishvapani, restorative justice through good communication and healing emanates from the concept of nishkama karma (selfless service) and aneeshta (indifference to pain & pleasure). This is what the Buddha taught lest we all end up in the dark sea of sorrow (kalapani) All else is maya (illusion) like this TFD's muddled meanderings to never-never land...
