‘Let no one who is not eager for truth and peace enter here’ (Plato)

Articles on this site express varying points of view, to encourage mature thinking on serious issues. The assumption is that you will want to study a controversial topic from various angles before you arrive at a conclusion, rather than simply believe what someone told you when you were impressionable!

If Christianity is true (C S Lewis)

I read this again somewhere and it’s been going back and forth in my brain: ‘If Christianity is untrue, no honest person will want to believe it, however helpful it might be; if true, every honest person will want to believe it, even if it offers no measurable help at all.’ C. S. Lewis — […]

Protocols of the Elders of Zion

It is about shaping public life so that there is a shared identity and values but […]

Plural monoculturalism

A netfriend wrote: In a recent article in the Financial Times about the present religio-cultural tensions in the UK, the writer hypothethised that the multi-cultural policies followed in the UK may have resulted in what he called “plural monoculturalism”.
