0072	“Not far” from the Kingdom of God.	Many people think that they are pretty good and that God is really quite pleased with them.  This article shows that being “good”, or even “very good”, is just not good enough.  We need more than our own goodness to please God.
0076	If God is so marvellous then why is the world in such a bloody mess?

0129	Did Jesus ever claim he was God?	Some people say he is God, some say he was just a man. What did Jesus claim about himself?

0141	What is the Christian message anyway?	The Christian message hasn't changed in 2000 years but 2000 years of religious additions have made it hard to know what that message actually is. Here is a very brief summary.
0142	Identity cards and “terrorism”	ID cards do not prevent or hinder terrorism.  It is often claimed that identity cards will prevent, or reduce the likelihood of, ideologically inspired acts of violence such as those perpetuated on 11th September 2001 using aircraft in America, or the discotheque explosions on 12th October 2002 in Bali, or the commuter train bombs on 11th March 2004 in Madrid.  These claims are not supported by either the reason or the evidence.  If anything, enforced ID will make such events more likely.
