God wouldn’t send good people to hell. Last week, we looked at the idea that there are no ‘good’ people for God to send to hell: There’s Jesus, and then everyone else. Here we want to look at the idea that God doesn’t send anyone anywhere – we satnav our own eternal destination. A lot […]

Recently, I asked a friend who used to believe in God how he lost his ‘faith’. He told me that two people close to him died in quick succession, and he realised that the idea of God sending those good people to hell was so ridiculous that the Christian god was obviously false. So, how […]
The Easter weekend is massive. It represents the crux of the Christian faith. It is a request to us to hit pause on our lives. Where we spend most of our time gazing forwards, Easter turns our vision back to the single focal point of history. A couple of millenia ago, on a hill outside of […]
In a recent Demolition Squad article we saw how well established Jesus is in the historical record. History indeed shows Jesus as a man whose life and death had a huge impact on the communities, governments, and religions around him.

Many older people are out of touch with the Christian faith at the very time when they may be seeking an explanation for the difficulties and […]
The great, British philosopher Bertrund Russell once said, “Historically it is quite doubtful whether Christ ever existed at all, and if He did we do now know anything about Him.” Why I Am Not A Christian Jesus Christ is arguably the most influential man in the whole of human history. So, outside of the Bible […]
‘Prove to me that God exists’, a bloke I was chatting to at a bar said to me. I was drinking a lime alcopop that I’d been given on the house. It was disgusting, and my cheeks were cowering inwards by the second. Whilst my drink was uncommon and grotesque, his request was not. One […]
The further I read into this book, I see the simplicity and strength of the message that both Gavin and Anne portray.
