Addressing Hypocrisy

I wondered about posting this, but I am not fond of attacks on my character, and rarely will I let them go unchallenged. Hence responding to some comments made here. BG and MM like to have personal conversations. One of the topics they like to discuss is us. We won’t hide the fact that their […]

Guns and Spirituality P4

In my previous post on this subject I raised five points/questions for the author of Theology Archaeology to answer. Let’s see how he responded. My first point was ‘I challenge him to demonstrate exactly where I claim my view is the only one that matters.’ He did not address this at all. 0/1. Would the author […]

Guns and Spirituality P3

Also posted on The Coalition of the Brave. In my previous post on this subject, I asked the author of Theology Archaeology a few questions. Shall we see if he answered them in his reply, and whether his answers actually addressed the questions, or indeed anything I wrote? As before, where he has quoted me, […]

Guns and Spirituality P2

It is of no surprise to me that the author of Theology Archaeology responded quite rapidly to my defence of Jill Dennison. Let us see if he has any reasonable arguments to the ones I made. Also posted on The Coalition of the Brave. Our nemesis at Meerkat Musings has published another article critiquing our gun post. […]

It’s the truth. They recently announced plans to raise National Insurance, something that will affect the poor a lot more than it will affect the wealthy. They plan to reduce Universal Credit payments soon, something […]

Bloganuary the 15th – Kindness

‘What is a life lesson you feel everyone can benefit from learning?‘ I’m gonna echo Catherine’s answer here. Kindness – treating each other with love and respect – instead of the greed, bigotry and cruelty we see throughout society, would be the greatest gift. If people weren’t so self-centred, only interested in benefiting themselves (here’s […]

‘Everyone is brainwashed, except those on my side’

The title is more or less the argument framed by some bloggers who have a distinctly ‘holier than thou’ attitude towards ‘the other side’. In this instance, one particular blogger who I have clashed with before (it’s not who you think) had made several blog posts that purport to show how enlightened they are, and […]

The Establishment Clause

Time to visit (or should that be revisit?) the US Constitution, specifically the First Amendment and something referred to as the Establishment Clause. To quote from the link: The First Amendment’s Establishment Clause prohibits the government from making any law “respecting an establishment of religion.” This clause not only forbids the government from establishing an official religion, […]
