Excitement! I've self-published a book on Kindle!! It's a kind of biblical fantasy, trying to imagine a sinless world - well, it's worth a try!

One morning, on his way to work, Rod from London unexpectedly finds himself transported to a strange world where people walk around naked, don’t eat meat, and don’t seem to know about death. They...

Why isn't this obvious to everybody? Or at least to all who call themselves Christians...
Disabled people deserve healthcare. Disabled people deserve housing. Disabled people deserve food. Disabled people deserve support. Our ability to work and produce should not determine our value. Disability is not a moral failing. Most people will experience it someday.

All these commercials about relying on ChatGPT to form your study routine or plan a vacation or whatever are so dismal. Make choices! Do hard things! Live a human existence!

Once AI can fake reality perfectly, history becomes a matter of belief, not documentation.

Next time someone asks what's the matter with this site, show them this: An account in India, amplifying a billionaire from South Africa being encouraged by an Irish passport holder, using an alias, to encourage civil unrest in the UK.

At risk of being seen as a kill-joy or worse, I really don't understand how it became acceptable to lie to children about the existence of a fairy-tale character. You can have a fun and festive Christmas without believing Santa is real - at least our family always managed!

"I've made up my mind - don't confuse me with facts"
NATO caused the war between Russia and Ukraine because they spent decades breaking promises. Nobody will ever convince me otherwise!

So is it OK to listen to AI-generated Christmas music...? Personally I think I'll stick to real people and real bands! https://t.co/8VWZJJGpkA

Good quote from the Responding to the Rebirth conference yesterday: “We do not have to march to Central London declaring ‘Christian values’ - what we do need to do is to speak Jesus into our local communities”

A good and sadly necessary clarification of the issues at stake
"As Christians we want our laws to reflect what God desires and what he has revealed through the Bible. These proposals expose significant dangers about the way we think about, and act on, immigration in the UK." https://t.co/yfgYTisoEV

Former Finnish PM Sanna Marin put it bluntly: “To end the conflict, Russia must leave Ukrainian territory.” Just one point. Nothing more to discuss.

All the peeps on here claiming that it’s impossible for the vast majority of people to live sexually self-controlled lives without marriage, all while: 1) there are plenty of married Christians who continue to struggle with sexual immorality. 2) there are plenty of single and

@dignityindying Do the public support *this* Bill though? The one where families might not be told, which might help Anorexia sufferers kill themselves, and which no disability charity in the country supports? The Lords are not voting on a principle. They are voting on specific legislation.

Fascinating to see how a non-believer comes to confirm that the biblical approach to marriage is correct, after all...
‘The idea of being able to enjoy no-strings-attached sex with a stranger alongside the comfort of a stable marriage is a nice one; in reality, while affection might not be a limited resource, hours in the day are.’ Subscribe from just £1 a month to read more.

Yes of course - why on earth wouldn't she be? Everyone who wants to worship Jesus (or even just learn more about him before they decide whether or not to worship him) is always going to be welcome at church! A church that turns people away is by definition failing in its mission.

I love me a metal carol... And to those who don't - you don't have to listen to it, you know!
