Apologetics
Faith in Politics (Kevin Rudd)
Faith in Politics By Kevin Rudd Above the Great West Door of Westminster Abbey are arrayed ten great statues of the martyrs of the Church. Not Peter, Stephen, James or the familiar names of the saints sacrificed during the great Roman persecution before Constantine’s conversion. No: these are martyrs of the twentieth century, when the […]
Atheism Kills
In these secular times, religion regularly gets a bad rap. And anti-Christian bigotry especially accelerates, with most of the world’s ills, from burnt toast to global warming, somehow pinned on the Christian faith. Of course Christianity has made its fair share of mistakes over the years, but according to the atheist militants, it can do […]
Getting Serious About AIDS
If I or others like me warn about the rising tide of AIDS in Australia, or speak about the need to challenge the behaviour that is so much responsible for it, we will simply be dismissed as being “homophobic”. That is always a good way to end a debate: instead of dealing with the arguments, […]
Atheist Rage and Venom
I have mentioned before Richard Dawkins’ new book, The God Delusion.

That is the thesis of the important 2004 volume by Alister McGrath, The Twilight of Atheism. Thus the atheists are working overtime to bolster their […]
Why Some ‘Same Sex Attracted’ Men Seek Change
Survey Reveals Why Some ‘Same Sex Attracted’ Men Seek Change Why would anyone with homosexual attractions try to “go straight”? According to conventional wisdom, the answer is inevitably “internalized homophobia” or societal pressure. But a new survey of almost 200 same-sex-attracted men who are pursuing change paints a very different picture: Out of 18 possible […]
Facts about Isael
The Middle East has been growing date palms for centuries. The average tree is about 18-20 feet tall and yields about 38 pounds of dates a year. Israeli date trees are now yielding 400 pounds/year and enough to be harvested from the ground or a short ladder. Israel the 100th smallest country, with less than […]
Jim Wallis: We Need Greater Moral Leadership
I’m Jim Wallis, author of God’s Politics. I was surprised and grateful when Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid called to say his party wanted to set a new tone and invite, for the first time, a non-partisan religious leader to deliver their weekly radio address and speak about the values that could unite Americans at […]
