The Biggest Spider in the World (Video)

Oh my. How do you kill a spider when it appears to be big enough to squash you?

An Unbelieving Missions Leader

Here’s a strange one, and perhaps a sign of the times: “Diocese of Truro advertises for Mission leader, but ‘You do not need to be a practising Christian’.” Baffling.

Fearing Christianity

“It seems that in the western world there is one category of people not particularly allowed to voice an opinion; one category of people that should be denied office at all costs.” And you know who they are, don’t you?

Britain Fears a Culture War

This article seems to go quite nicely with the last one.
