Pope Benedict and Abuse Victims
From a knowledgable friend in this field, Clare Pascoe (25/04/2008): Pardon me for being cynical but first there was this: [[BQ]New York (ENI). Pope Benedict XVI has begun his first papal visit to the United States by speaking out against the sexual abuse scandals that have rocked the US church in recent years. He told […]
Don’t Forget! Don’t Forget! (Anzac Day)
Don’t Forget! Don’t Forget! By Rev. Geoff Leslie, Barham Baptist Truth is often war’s first casualty, from its first to its final shots.

A Black Hole “teaches us that space can be crumpled like a piece of paper into an infinitesimal dot, that time can be extinguished like a blown-out flame, and that the laws of physics that we regard as ‘sacred,’ as immutable, are anything but.” –John A.

Voting in America 2008
(I don’t know who Senator Bob is, but I guess a lot of Americans think like this… Scary)… After long and serious thought, I have decided to endorse Senator John McCain for President. I have always voted for the person and have not voted for anyone because some political party was telling me who I […]
U.S. Elections 2008: how should a concerned vote?
