Person-in-da-hood: How pro-choicers have moved the goal posts
When medical science (most notably, that of DNA strings) decisively and unequivocally demonstrated that, right from the very point of conception, a human life is created, pro-choicers had to abort their more traditional arguments. It is interesting to read in his book, Practical Ethics, that ethicist, animal rights activist and pro-abortionist Peter Singer declared that the conservative pro-life position on the subject of abortion came up trumps.

The only Jesus they knew
Christians can be a reprehensible lot; they can be the self-refuting testimony of an otherwise marvelous and positive influential Christianity. And I don’t excuse myself from among them, only to try to be aware of my own shortcomings and to be open and honest with them and then to deal with them.
I have no doubt that Jesus looks at the state of the wider church today and weeps over its lack of cohesion, strength and unity. Church is Satan’s favourite playground (he attends more religiously than anyone) – and he knows all the rules, better than the vast majority of Christians, and his pawns are those in church who hold prominent positions of office. Not only does he have pawns in his ranks, but also some of our… Continue reading ...
