They see God as the spirit of the universe (you are free to interpret that in whatever way you wish), not as some big beardie in the sky ready to smite us with a thunderbolt for being naughty. They...
Atheists argue that religious belief is based on speculation. Science, too (it could be argued), is based on speculation. The dark matter that is necessary to make the Big Bang possible is...
I got an e-mail from a beautiful Russian girl (she sent me photos) wanting to get to get to know me. I don't know how she got my name and e-mail address. Although I'm happily married, I thought there...
I had to go down to London on a 5-day course through my work with 3 colleagues, all women. Although they worked beside me and knew me well, they clubbed together in the evenings and made it clear I...
