Happily Ever After?
Life is a mess.  That's part of the fun.  What am I talking about?  Well, this is a blog responding to some issues posed by my friend Angelfeet who, as always with her blogging, has got me thinking  http://www.thoughts.com/Angelfeet/blog/ever-after-130741 . ......Read More

Why "Make me a Christian" wouldn't
Anyone watch Channel 4 on Sunday nights? Tucked in after the news (definitely the best TV news in the UK) and before "Wife Swap", "Big Brother" and "The Perfect V*gina" (yes really) was a show called "Make me a Christian". The show features a group......Read More

Discussing faith and delusion, part 3
Following on, here's my reply to an unexpected email*.  I'd be interested in the views of thoughts.com members: I'm not going to be able to prove anything for you. I'm sorry but belief (and equally non-belief) is a personal journey. I can only tell you what it all looks like to me.......Read More

Discussing faith and delusion, part 2
I should've known I would be challenged on what I wrote in a comment on my friend's blog (see my post  http://www.thoughts.com/rose22/blog/dawkins-120785 ), but that's ok, I'm fine to do that and the good people on thoughts.com also seem to love to comment on these things. So here's what......Read More

Atheism, Dawkins delusions and the no.11 bus
I guess this is now "Discussing fath and delusion part 1"...  DavidMWW and Sean, this is for you if you followed the link through... Hmm.  In commenting on a friend's blog on an idea to rent advertising space on the side of a London bus to counter all the terrible......Read More

What makes a good home group? (after Alpha)
I've never been involved in setting up a home group before, usually I arrive at a church and slot into a group of similar-aged or conveniently geographically located people. This time it's different. As you might remember I recently did an Alpha course at my new church and I chose to do so......Read More

Baptising babies - the right thing to do?
We've just finished clearing up from a family lunch yesterday.  After all the horrible things we've had over the last few weeks, from cancer to finerals, car crashes to meningitis rashes, we needed something good, and yesterday we had my son's baptism.  It was a fabulous day, a properly......Read More

New sins for the modern world
Do we know or care any more if we do the wrong thing? I'm pretty clear that I know some things are wrong. I don't kill, steal, I try not to be jealous of others' success. But is it wrong to fly when it increases my carbon footprint so much? Is that a sort of gluttony? Lucky for me, the......Read More

Alpha Females and messages
Ok it's not easy to make regular commitments to do non-baby related things with a very tiny baby but I decided I needed to meet a few new people and for the last few weeks I've been going to the Thursday morning Alpha course that's running at my church. It's full of women, mostly older than me......Read More

Sharia Hysteria in the UK
If you believe the hype and don't bother to read what was actually said, it sounds like the Archbishop of Canterbury is suggesting that the UK adopts sharia law. We've had utterly hysterical statements, because sharia provoles strong reactions in the UK in general terms: we see beheadings in the......Read More
