There is no doubt which side of the world-view divide the Herald on Sunday sits. They report: Sacked for teaching King Lear Shakespearean tragedy has become high farce, after a Christian high school sacked a teacher for using a “morally defiling” King Lear text in class. Suzette Martin, 40, was sacked from the private Westmount School [...]

I see Peter Cresswell over at NotPC has his customary Easter rant up today. I am always amazed that atheists like Peter, who have no clue as to the actual meaning of Christ’s Sacrifice, can hold forth such a lengthy diatribe on a topic he inevitably misunderstands entirely. Peter’s conclusion appears to be that Christians [...]

Spam Journalism: The spurious use of sensational headlines to add spice to an otherwise pointless article. The Herald on Sunday continues it’s vendetta against Destiny Church. I have concerns about Destiny too, but this is now getting extremely silly: Destiny fosters new converts A Destiny Church pastor working for a child-fostering organisation that gets $10 [...]

It is unfortunate that the Herald appears to have a bee in it’s bonnet about Brian Tamaki and the Destiny Church.

Honestly, you would think that journalists could find something more exciting to write about than the weather! They could, for instance, [...]

I am at the Paracute Christian Music Festival this weekend, so blogging will be light and sporadic. I am always amazed at how massive this thing is. We arrived at the campground to put up a tent for youngest MacDaughter & friends at 11:20 (20 minutes after the gates open officially) and we had a [...]

Yes, I know this is a bit late to be a proper review, but I’ve only just found time to see it. So this is not a review, but three observations. WARNING: SPOILER ALERT. Firstly, it is visually arresting. I saw it in 3D, but I suspect that it would be an equally gorgeous visual [...]

I don’t know about you, but I find the Atheist ad campaign amusing on many levels: There is the almost evangelist zeal shown by the rapidity with which the money for the ads has been raised. Now if only us religious zealots could be that zealoty… Then there is the whole delicious irony of displaying [...]
