Mormons And The Size Of God
(Tangential to this thread… hey, no it isn’t. This is what happens when literalism is taken to absurd extremes 🙂 This story brings to my memory of a Mormon student who bailed me up after a talk I gave in the 1970s in a Brisbane Teachers’ College. She: ‘Didn’t you know God was male, and […]

Baby Milk Company Fined For Advertising Direct To Consumers
From a netfriend: This is not about infant formula versus breast-feeding. It is about accountability.
