The Battle of Babylon
The world as we know it is imploding spectacularly. Empires have always, eventually, fallen and dominant cultures always fade away. But in a world shrunk by technology, the rates of change are exponentially higher, so much so that we can see the rise and fall of nations in a single lifetime. On current trends, some […]
Do you sometimes wonder why?
Do you sometimes wonder why? Two years ago (almost to the day) I had this insight: If you want to know why someone did something, just find out what they loved more It turns out that Corinthians 13 really is more than sentimental wedding vows; but goes to the heart of Life’s most meaningful questions: […]
Happiness, Justice or Truth. Pick one.
If you had to pick justice or truth or happiness, what would you pick? ON JUSTICE The greatest injustices in the world have almost always resulted from people believing their cause was just.

He is writing about female archetypes – and below is an extract on the ‘Mother Eve’ archetype: Mother Eve is the least appreciated and most […]
Abortion is unfair on women
There is such a thing as unintended consequences and when it comes to the abortion debate, it is very evident. An excellent article was recently published by Catherine Foster; arguing that easy access to abortion has had unintended consequences, and that overturning that would benefit women. I will summarise her main points, but in essence […]
Is hot water cruel when it scalds you?
Is hot water cruel when it scalds an innocent toddler? Most people would say not. Am I cruel if I hurt an innocent toddler? Most people would say yes. But this distinction reveals the fundamental assumptive flaws in the worldview of the Naturalist/Atheist, whose worldview is in effect that we are all merely matter in […]
