2 clasped hands connect the graves of JWC Gorcum & his wife in Roermund in the Netherlands.
Gorcum, a Protestant, and his wife, a Catholic, were not permitted to be buried together in the same graveyard. Instead, Gorcum’s wife asked that she be buried as close as possible to him
In 1924 Adolph Hitler left Landsberg Prison looking a "much wiser man" according to the

His behaviour during incarceration was such that he "was no longer to be feared".
The expectation was that he would "retire to private life and return to Austria."
Is Coronavirus a punishment from God? I look at this and other arguments advanced by various Christian commentators in my recent article for the Secular Web website:

A week after the bombing of Pearl Habor in 1941, a young Chinese-American sunbathes on a Florida beach.
She took a Chinese flag with her so as not to be identified as Japanese, and thus targeted with anti-Japanese sentiment.
For my recent article for the Secular Web, I considered the historicity for the Old Testament kings David and Solomon, as well as exploring the Zhou Dynasty of China. You can read it here:
Some Christians equate Russia with ‘Gog’, an entity that prophecy says will be militarily aggressive, only to be defeated by Christ during End Times.
Rather like in 2014, some will be pleased with events in Ukraine as it hastens the arrival of the Messiah.
Between now and the year 2150, all of the 7.8 billion people in the world today will be dead - a length of time that represents 0.0000009% of the age of the universe.

The word Easter comes from the goddess Eostre. Ancient Europeans believed her responsible for bringing the benefits of warmer spring weather, such as opportunities for tribal gatherings. In current circumstances, we need Eostre to work her magic more than ever. Happy Easter all!
Christmas Day 2022 and the subsequent New Year’s Day 2023 both fall on the same day - Sunday - the first time that they have fallen on the same day since 1963.

If there are alien life forms created by God, do they need salvation?

for your kind comments about my article about the origin of Christian beliefs regarding life after death, which can be read here: I really appreciate you taking the time to read and Tweet about it 👍
Fascinating, and well-written, thanks for sharing this. I knew that Judaism doesn't embrace the idea of an afterlife, but I didn't know much of the rest. 🤔 very interesting.
Today marks the winter solstice, Europe’s oldest continuously celebrated winter festival. Ancient Europeans culled their herds leading to a glut of meat. Drinks were also ready having spent the year slowly fermenting & a feast was held to celebrate the ‘birth’ of a new sun.

Happy Christmas to family and friends past and present and those yet to come. It’s been a rough year, but they say good comes from bad. So, here’s to amazing times. I’ll drink too that. Pete.
Everyone on the planet was born of a female human making the brave and hugely sacrificial decision to take a pregnancy to term.
It seems like in the US, people who have never had that decision to make, and who never will (men), want to nationalize this decision-making process
Being a UK citizen, I obviously have no say in the upcoming Presidential Election.

This morning, I am speaking to Paul Clark (

), about his gripping novel "The Omega Course", which delves deep into the much-debated origins of The Bible and Christianity.
God is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent.
Therefore, he has the power to make all people in modern times appreciate that the Bible verse "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination" is no longer applicable.
But he doesn't.
