Religion – especially Christianity – is now viewed with suspicion, and even hostility. It’s seen by many as dangerous. The more I reflect on it, the more I think that secular critics of Christianity do have a point. There is a sense in which Christianity is dangerous.

Cases of trans regret are now skyrocketing, but the trans tyrants are fighting this and living in denial. Doing dumb things and later regretting those decisions is a big part of human nature. It happens all the time of course. And some businesses are making [...]

Are you ever surprised at how prayers are answered? Many years ago, I inherited a lounge suite from my grandmother. However, it was built for a sedate couple, not an energetic family of five children. In a very short period of time, it disintegrated until [...]

Conversation is a dying art form. This isn’t a whinge about social media. I mean that actual face-to-face conversations are losing their way. People probably talk as much as they ever have, but does anyone stop to think why they’re talking? A lot of what’s [...]

Editor's Note: This incisive piece by Janet Albrechtsen in The Australian, quoting Stephen Fry at length, highlights the nasty depths to which our "civil" discourse has sunk.

There’s a “great untruth” that’s gaining traction in the western world. This ‘great untruth’ is leading to the polarisation of our community. It’s eroding the stability of civil society. And if left unchecked, it could spell the end of our democracy. Speaking of this danger, [...]

By Dr David van Gend Two problems with Scott Morrison’s proposed Religious Discrimination Bill. First, what does it mean for those who make a stand on conscientious, not religious, grounds? Why should our laws protect religious dissenters but not agnostic dissenters? Second, does it effectively [...]

Yet another Christian school being targeted by the rainbow warriors. I was worried there for a while. But then the homosexual activists in Australia told us in no uncertain terms that legalising homosexual marriage would have no negative effects on anyone. They insisted that nothing [...]

In a sign of just how far Western Civilisation has declined, the most dangerous place for a child to be, is in her mother’s womb. Similarly, if the rest of Australia follows the leftist fad being currently pursued in states such as Victoria, then euthanasia [...]
