Wednesday, January 24th, 2007

Knowing my opinions on Christianity, you might think I would never show my face in a church. But you’d be wrong. On Xmas Eve I took my family to Father Bob Maguire’s quasi-interdenominational service.

How many people did God kill in the Bible?

Monday, January 22nd, 2007

Ahem. To all of my Christian friends, readers, listeners, and enemies, who keep telling me about what a good bloke their god, Yahweh, is. I even had one of them, in an email thread, tell me that Yahweh had never committed mass murder. Oh my… Darwin.
Steve Wells has done some math for us.
It’s [...]

A Zanier Than Usual TPN Rock Show

Monday, January 22nd, 2007

In another of his never-ending series of ideas, Ewan Spence has come up with the idea of asking random people to guest host TPN Rock. I’m currently listening to Richard Vobes’ episode. Whaaaaaacky.

Get a “First Life”

Monday, January 22nd, 2007

Despite Darren Barefoot’s barely credible name, the fact that he’s Canadian and his repeated attacks on podcasting over the years, I kind of like the guy. He was even on G’Day World once, a long long time ago. But his new project, “First Life“, is terrific and *very funny. Good work, eh?
