		<title>Judgement Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So sad to see another pseudo-Christian group out there preying on the broken and vulnerable. No, just in case you&#8217;re wondering, the Bible doesn&#8217;t teach that Jesus is returning on May 21st, 2011, and neither does it teach that Jesus&#8217; return has anything to do with people being gay.
The &#8220;Family Radio&#8221; group teach that Jesus [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spiritual warfare&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I noticed that the latest catalogue in my letterbox from Koorong Christian bookshop has a book called &#8220;Prayers that rout demons and break curses&#8221; by John Eckhard. Does that mean just asking God to do it isn&#8217;t enough? He really won&#8217;t answer me unless I know the right words and verses to quote (which I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Northam - is this really who we are?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Boat people are people fleeing their country because they have no other option. Think of the Papuans back in 2006; Indonesia took over their country in 1969 by forcing about 1000 people to vote at gunpoint. Since then they&#8217;ve gone through with helicopters machine gun strafing swathes of jungle and towns, the army and Police torture [...]]]></description>

		<title>Selling conscience to the highest bidder</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The US Supreme Court ruled last week that there should be no limits to how much money a corporation is allowed to give in &#8220;donations&#8221; to politicians. When something controversial is being decided (eg climate change legislation, rules around whether the US should sell weapons to a country that tortures people etc), companies are now [...]]]></description>

		<title>Atheism and Rational Faith</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Both Anglican Archbishop Peter Jensen and Catholic Cardinal George Pell have this Good Friday returned fire on the growing atheist-Church conflict (http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/04/02/2863269.htm), accusing the rise of atheism for many of the great wrongs of last century and challenging it as simply an alternative faith. But isn’t atheism the absence of faith? Isn’t it the rational [...]]]></description>

		<title>Miranda Devine and the great Australian fire myth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s so difficult to choose a newspaper. I have all but given up on The Australian due to its refusal to print any of the story on Australia&#8217;s corrupt dealings with Indonesia&#8217;s military and its blatant campaign of spin regarding climate change. But unfortunately the SMH has Miranda Devine. Dear Miranda. If people think we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Don&#8217;t Train Indonesia&#8217;s Deadly Kopassus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The article below comes from an American campaign. The US stopped training the Kopassus (Indonesia&#8217;s Special Forces) because they have a law that stops them from giving support to human rights abusers, but Bush started talks about restarting the training. Notice however that Australia never stopped training them despite strong public opinion. Indonesia does not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Not so wonderful Copenhagen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If ever you doubted it, the Copenhagen meeting has given a pretty clear picture of what human nature is really about.
The G77 body represents the world&#8217;s developing nations - the majority world that don&#8217;t have the option of turning on air conditioners, buying new cars when they don&#8217;t like the style of the one they [...]]]></description>

		<title>Putting Climate Alarmists in their place.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is a body made up of representatives from 166 different nations to rule out political bias. The 152 lead authors and 650 reviewers include experts with all sorts of personal opinions for and against climate change but all bound by the one rule - they can only say what [...]]]></description>

		<title>Not all&#8217;s Fair in Love and War</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A recent article in the Creation Ministries International ‘Prayer News’ referred to a claim by Sir David Attenborough that he had received hate mail from creationists. CMI have responded saying that this is a diversionary tactic used to “deflect scrutiny from the real issues” which is fair enough; I’ve certainly seen it used a lot [...]]]></description>
