At the risk of being considered a pervert or a sexual deviant, I need to write about knickers (or panties, as my American cousins would apparently call them).

Amidst all the ho-ha about what consenting adults do with various small parts of their bodies in private (arguably following their god-given desires) and about whether the said adults can be part of a Christian leadership or whether they should be sacrificed for the sake of superficial unity, the Most Rev Henry Orombi, Archbishop of [...]

I can understand where they are coming from, even though I profoundly disagree with them.
If you believe something strongly, you want to be consistent. The argument goes, if you decide to take your rules from the book, you then can’t pick and choose which rules you want to follow.
That seems to be the position taken [...]

Just a quick update (see God and the Virgins 1-4).
Wayne Bent, alias Michael Trevasser, the leader of an End of the World Cult in New Mexico, who was recently taken into custody for lieing naked with virgins (two counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of [...]

It’s been a bad week for women, and therefore a bad week for humanity too. (”So what’s new?” some of you may be asking.)
Doubtless there are more atrocious stories than the ones below (for example, accounts of rape and mutilation and oppression in far distant countries), but the two which penetrated my radar were [...]

What would you do with £1.5 million?
I suppose if I were given it to spend just on myself and not feel bound to give it away, I could quite happily think of things. In order of priority - a new phone with all the latest gizmos (yes, I really am that shallow), a visit [...]
