The Times Saturday Magazine.
I usually read this from cover-to-cover as I take the train to the football, like I did on last Saturday.
It had two particularly good articles, that I will highlight here.
Melanie Reid was on her usual top form and was particularly annoyed that her story had been hijacked by the Christian Right. I prefer to call them the Christian Wrong, as when it comes to moral philosophy, any that calls itself right, is probably not open to criticism from a scientific-correctness point-of-view. If Jesus did exist, and in my view if he did, he was just one of a number of good moral philosophers that are always around, then he wouldn’t be on the right like Sarah Palin and the Mad Hatters.
Carol Midgley was ranting about airport duty-free shopping. She was absolutely right and it should be banned. Many duty-free purchases are carried half-way round the world and how much carbon dioxide does this add to the atmosphere? You also have the madness that say Scotch Whisky is air-freighted to places like Hong Kong for sale in duty-free shops there and then bought by Scots and other UK residents for the flight back.

About This Blog
What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.

If you think that Jesus did not exist, you clearly havent read such Roman writers as Suetonius, Josephus and Tacitus, who all mention him, and in some cases mention some of the things Jesus did. Regardless of whether you believe He is the Son of God, as I do, or just a man as some people do, it is naive to suggest He may not have existed at all; there is too much corroborating evidence. There are some non-Christian religions which have no evidence at all that their founder/leader existed outside of the writing of that religions – one very large one in particular.
