A Critique of God
http://www.questia.com/PM.qst?a=o&d=70390909 Found on the site “Ethical Atheists”. It claims to be the only anthology that is a critique of the exsistence of God (the book, not the site). I thought I’d give it a read, or at least, try to squeeze it in in my already buzzy, and full, reading list. It deserves to be…

From our good friends at fortune
An American scientist once visited the offices of the great Nobel prize winning physicist, Niels Bohr, in Copenhagen. He was amazed to find that over Bohr’s desk was a horseshoe, securely nailed to the wall, with the open end up in the approved manner (so it would catch the good luck and not let it…

Bible Arguments
http://www.ethicalatheist.com/docs/religion_and_science.html An interesting site. Those of you that regularly read this blog (which I think amounts to my mum =) ), will note that I’m generally open minded. This site, however, is a direct oposite for all the things I’ve ranted about Fundies. Indeed, most of the articles on this site managed to annoy both…

Never Forget
Unforgettable Photos We often think that things we shouldn’t forget came only out of the Second World War. Visions of concentration camps. Visions of the mass graves. The pain fades over the years. These photos show things havn’t changed. I have more to pray for, it seems BX

Prospective Ordinand Open Day: Is God Calling you to Ministry
Turns out, the Answer may be yes. But then, I kind of knew that anyway. This was a day being run by the Diocess where all those of us with questions can go and see people who have been through the process, where we can meet people at the same level as us, and generally…
