Many people want nothing to do with religion, but politics will introduce them to religion whether they want it or not. Do they recognize this, and can they recognize the difference between false and true religion? Today's cataclysmic results in the English Council elections showed not only that Reform UK is breaking the two-party dominance …

Roman Jesuitism
This morning, the world's media focussed on the Roman Catholic funeral mass, known as a Requiem Mass, for Francis, the recently deceased and the first former-Jesuit to become pope in Rome. Roman Jesuitism was much in evidence to those who could recognize it. Presiding Roman cardinal Giovanni Battista Re read a homily saying that the …
What is a Christian Voice?
I have often said that we need a Christian Voice in public life. However, my experience is that very few people know what this means, including Christians. I am 70 years old today and I have been involved latterly in Christian politics for almost 20 years. Many Christians in the UK do not know what Christian …
What does secularism have to offer?
Secularism is a worldview that wishes and aims to abolish religion from public life and, if it can succeed, from private life also. Richard Dawkins wants to stop religious people having the "privilege of access to the levers of power and to the megaphones of influence". He has also called teaching Christianity to one's own …
The price of losing Christian values
There is a saying: "You won't miss the water till the well runs dry." Britain's wells are running dry. The caring professions are running dry, which many now view simply as jobs without a sense of vocation. Speaking truth is running dry in politics and public life Isa 59:14. Christian conscience is seeping away from …
There is no post-Christian era
A good New Year to my readers. We sometime hear people saying that we live in a post-Christian era. There is no such thing – Jesus Christ continues to reign over the Earth from His throne in heaven Ps 110:1. He continues to advance His kingdom and He taught His Church to pray: "Thy kingdom …
False Christianity
Jesus warns us against false Christs Mat 24:24 and each of the apostles did the same. So, how do false Christs operate? First, they use Christian terminology. Counterfeits always imitate the real thing. Are you able to detect counterfeit Christs, counterfeit Christianity? Secondly, they use Christian terms in a different way than the Bible does, …
What is islamophobia?
Most commentators discuss antisemitism and islamophobia in the same sentence, to give the impression that they are being balanced in their thinking. They are not – this thinking is defective and only adds to the confusion. The inability to agree definitions is confusing debate. The controversy on the definition of antisemitism created turmoil in the …
Non-Crime Hate Incidents
Repeatedly I hear commentators wondering from where the philosophy behind Non-Crime Hate Incidents (NHCIs) arose. NHCIs are topical because The Telegraph columnist Allison Pearson was investigated by Essex Police for a tweet that she had deleted a year before. In an interview with Nigel Farage on GB News [at 19:05 hrs], she highlighted that NHCIs …
Proof by assertion
More attention should be paid to this error, but not many people notice it, so it goes unchallenged. "Proof by assertion" is my coined phrase for those statements made by anyone who thinks that something is proven simply because they have asserted it. Some of these people even expect you to believe what they say, …
