Can England’s last Catholic adoption agency beat Labour’s attempts to destroy them?

From the Christian Institute:
England’s last remaining Roman Catholic adoption agency has won a lifeline in the High Court today over laws which could force it to consider homosexuals as parents.
Leeds-based Catholic Care is battling for its life because its policy of not placing children with unmarried couples may breach Labour’s homosexual equality laws.
Today’s High Court [...]

The limits of “diversity”

I have been wondering how many other types of “diversity” we are expected to celebrate in the coming months and years. I ask because of the latest upset and offence caused to homosexuals and feminists by none other than Ed Balls, whose amendment has allowed state-funded faith schools to opt out of compulsory worship of [...]

Richard Dawkins Exposed: Part V – Cranmer vs Dawkins

Okay, this is last week’s news, but I promised somewhere I would write about it. Cranmer posed the question, Should Richard Dawkins be arrested for incitement to religious hatred? He was responding to Richard Dawkins’ ‘rant’ in The Times, Hear the rumble of Christian hypocrisy, about the comments made by TV evangelist Pat Robertson concerning [...]

The Pope angers secularists as Harman gives up on forcing churches to hire homosexuals

More good news for lovers of freedom as Harriet Harman decides not to overturn last month’s Lord’s vote that saved religious organisations from being forced to abandon their values and hire homosexuals for key positions.
Ministers were astonished on Monday when the Pope said that the Bill violated “natural justice” and urged bishops to fight it. [...]

Good for the Soul

I went to two services yesterday – morning and evening – in different churches and heard two sermons which complemented each other and helped refresh my soul. They were about improving things in 2010, and as the old song goes, “All good gifts around us are sent from Heaven above… so thank the Lord for [...]

Please reprogramme your conscience to be compliant with State directives

We know how much New Labour despises the individual (not just the family). They hate intelligence (because a little knowledge in the proles is a dangerous thing to the elite); that’s why we had to be dumbed down. They hate goodness (because through goodness comes strength); that’s why they teach children that all religions are [...]

Oops! Humanist poster kids are from a Christian family

As a brilliant P.S. to my last post…
The happy smiley children used by humanists in a don’t-label-me-as-religious billboard campaign actually come from an evangelical Christian family.
The images used by the British Humanist Association (BHA), as part of a nationwide advertising drive, were bought from a stock photo library and the BHA had no way of [...]

Why have humanists suddenly become so angry and intolerant?

They seem to hate with a passion anything and everything concerned with religion and belief in supernatural beings. They hate faith schools. They hate religious broadcasting. They just seem to hate, which is remarkable, considering a humanist is meant to be one who is concerned with the interests and welfare of humans.
They don’t tend to [...]

The tedious ‘new’ atheism

I’m not sure how I came across this article on Canada.com about ‘professional atheist’ Christopher Hitchens, but I was certainly intrigued by the title.
Leonard Stern, writes,
Here’s the problem: The atheists don’t understand that it’s possible to reject scripture as history but still accept it as sacred narrative.
I would say the problem for Christians is that [...]

A True Scotsman™ keeps his Bible in his sporran!

So says major American humanist PZ Myers. What is he fussing about now, I wondered? He has picked up on a post on The Not-Quite-So-Friendly Humanist’s blog:
The Christian Union at the University of Edinburgh have put forward a motion for the student association’s AGM to allow themselves or another organisation to put Bibles in each [...]
