And that brings up his half-century, a fine performance from the young man

Amazingly, this is my 50th post. It doesn't seem possible, and yet...

So, what to talk about? Well, there are a few things in my mind that I've been pondering. The first is a reflection on the comments made on my post about films. Why do we watch films? What is acceptable to watch? I'd appreciate people's thoughts, and then maybe I'll post something more on my reflections...

I've also been thinking about Richard Dawkins, and how much of an idiot he is. As a scientist he should now that his job is not to prescribe to the Universe how it is, but rather to describe it as he finds it. And yet that never seems to be reflected in his philosophy. He says "there can be no God", and thus prescribes the condition of the Universe regardless of evidence. It's a shame.

Finally I've been considering the way that the church has affected our country over hundreds of years, and generally thinking that we have no right to demand Christian laws in this country, and wondering whether we ever did. This does confuse me though, sinful behaviour is harmful and we want to prevent people from harm, but will it make a difference if people aren't hearing the gospel? I remember Graham Daniels saying that we must be accused of lawlessness if we are really presenting grace. I haven't really thought this one through completely, so instead i'll post a random picture.
