I have noted the poverty of discussion elsewhere as part of a longer discussion about Christian behaviour. However, many people will not read long posts and will not concentrate on much more than a few pararaphs, so this post is short because the topic deserves an introductory blogpost of its own, if for no other …

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 …
Access to GB News
Is GB News a closing shop? GB News, like Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter, was an attempt to promote Free Speech against the censorship that spiralled out of control during the coronavirus pandemic lockdown. I have watched GB News and supported it from before and through the whole of its existence. I have watched as …
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, …
Has Al Fayed got away with it?
Not at all. With the increasing number of allegations against Mohamed Al Fayed emerging after his death, some have expressed their annoyance that Fayed has got away from justice, the extent of his misbehaviour coming to light after "the horse has bolted". Similar sentiments were expressed when Harold Shipman committed suicide in prison, as if …
Jesus’ teaching about the godly
Recently, I posted a blogpost about what the Holy Spirit teaches the godly. I hope it helps you with self-examination. Now, what does Jesus say about the godly? We can examine ourselves by this also. The Beatitudes Jesus gives us the characteristics of the godly in His Sermon on the Mount. He begins with the …
What the Holy Spirit teaches – according to Jesus
Many people have their own ideas about God's Holy Spirit. Some don't believe in Him, others think that they can tell Him what to do, and others have no idea what to think. Jesus does not leave us in the dark. He is the Light of the world and He tells us what we need …

The spirit of Toryism
We learn today that Nigel Farage will not be welcome in the Tory Party by any of the six current Tory leadership candidates. They have their own reasons for such an opinion, but it is in line with what I have come to believe about the cut-throat spirit of Toryism. In this case, these leadership …
Superficial Christianity
Superficial Christianity can be measured in various ways. One measure is at the personal level and another is at the collective level. Personal Bible reading and prayer How many Christians read their Bible regularly, far less study it? Do they pray for the Holy Spirit in order to understand it? Can they manage to get …
The success and failure of Gentile Christianity
I wrote a blogpost on The failure of Gentile Christianity. This has been misread by some people as 'Gentile Christianity has failed'. The wish may be the father of the thought because there are some Christians who misread the Bible and conclude that things will simply get worse and worse. Misreading and misunderstanding is common …
