When I first read reports on the blogosphere about the NZ Herald commenting on Bronagh Key’s wearing the same jacket twice, I thought that the article everyone was linking to must have been related to John Key’s swearing in, where she wore the offending jacket the second time and the fashion comments had to be […]

Sometimes the Left are Right: The Right-Wing 5 Headed Monster
November 14th, 2008 Comments Off on Sometimes the Left are Right: The Right-Wing 5 Headed Monster
One of the things I am loving about not being affiliated to any party is that I can criticise my own ‘side’. It is a liberating thing. I stumbled accross this on The Standard and I have to say I agreed with it. Well, most of it. Definately did not agree with the last line… […]

John Key on Religion and Public Life
September 30th, 2008 21 Comments
A few weeks ago someone gave me a copy of this interview with John Key. Now the first thing to note is that the article was published by Gaynz.com. Gaynz.com are not a terribly reliable media outlet, and Madeleine would say that they are beneath the term “media outlet”. Hence, much of what is written […]

Key Savage?
February 13th, 2007 Comments Off on Key Savage?
From this morning’s ODT, a letter to the editor from Paul Tulloch of Roslyn: “I was visiting a family of 23 in a small south Dunedin state house last Saturday, a family whose members had lived there since 1953. As I arrived at the door, I heard the sound of dull thuds against the wall […]

A common objection to belief in the God of the Bible is that a good, kind, and loving deity would never command the wholesale slaughter of nations. In the tradition of his popular Is God a Moral Monster?, Paul Copan teams up with Matthew Flannagan to tackle some of the most confusing and uncomfortable passages of Scripture. Together they help the Christian and nonbeliever alike understand the biblical, theological, philosophical, and ethical implications of Old Testament warfare passages.
