Recently, I asked a friend who used to believe in God how he lost his ‘faith’. He told me that two people close to him died in quick succession, and he realised that the idea of God sending those good people to hell was so ridiculous that the Christian god was obviously false. So, how […]

Someone said to me the other day, ‘Well, you have to believe in the resurrection because you’re a Christian.’ What he meant, essentially, was that because of the tribe I belong to, there are certain things that I just take blindly on faith. In fact, he got it the wrong way round. I don’t believe […]
Oscar Pistorius was another in that long line of celebrity/role models to have fallen from grace recently. The revelation of the shock news that he may have murdered his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp left fans of the ‘Blade Runner’ devastated. Tabloids daily rummage through the private lives of our heroes in ‘the public interest’, gathering salacious tit bits to parade […]
Good question – thanks for asking! First of all, I agree. They can’t all be right. They can all contain some element of truth – but they can’t all be definitive, because they don’t teach the same thing. Christianity says that Jesus is God in human form; Islam says he isn’t. They might both be […]
The question of morality and the moral argument for God is one of the most misunderstood around. ‘I don’t need to believe in your God to live a good life or to know the difference between good and evil, you t***!’ said everyone I’ve ever raised the issue with. This usually creates such a high […]
Or, ‘Who designed the Designer?’ This is the central argument of Richard Dawkins’ book The God Delusion, and as such, has become something of a steaming hot potato in recent years. Since the Big Bang exploded onto the scene in the 1960s, we’ve known that the universe had a beginning. The Bible has been saying […]
Ricky Gervais once posted this on Twitter: I think Ricky Gervais is a genius, even when I think he’s wrong – and I think he’s wrong here. Feel free to troll me on Twitter – I could do with a few extra followers. Now, lets forget the fact that science has a proven record of […]
‘Prove to me that God exists’, a bloke I was chatting to at a bar said to me. I was drinking a lime alcopop that I’d been given on the house. It was disgusting, and my cheeks were cowering inwards by the second. Whilst my drink was uncommon and grotesque, his request was not. One […]
I am a Christian. I believe in a magic sky clown that makes everything happen. Everything that happens is His will. Sometimes bad things happen, but that’s because He moves in mysterious ways – says so in the Bible. I believe that this magic sky clown came to earth as a Jewish Zombie to tell […]
