Here's how to wish the very best happy Christmas... https://catherinegogerty.bigcartel.com/product/m-r-james-ghost-stories-for-christmas-card-4-pack21 Nov 2024 09:24 +0000at://did:plc:bogc7brb74obpivxcd6tjbhm/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbh5fkyzss24https://bsky.app/profile/thisisrudi.bsky.social/post/3lbfs7c663c2hI genuinely do not understand this ruling. We don't have blasphemy laws anymore. Why is an advert being banned over the possibility that it could cause "serious offence" to (some) Christians? https://www.thetimes.com/article/01834757-9bc5-49b8-9b12-b0c8dc294fee?shareToken=ba2f80b1e2be785ed76596338208070e20 Nov 2024 20:31 +0000at://did:plc:bogc7brb74obpivxcd6tjbhm/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbfs7c663c2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/thisisrudi.bsky.social/post/3lbafxjpc3c2bI support the #AssistedDyingBill. Living with dignity means being able to die with dignity too. While I'd like to cling onto life for as long as possible, I'd also like the right, when the time comes, to be able to end things on my own terms. A right I hope never to exercise!18 Nov 2024 17:09 +0000at://did:plc:bogc7brb74obpivxcd6tjbhm/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbafxjpc3c2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/thisisrudi.bsky.social/post/3lbaawgge7s2dAs I get a bit more involved on this site, while reflecting on the owner of the other place, I have one word in mind: Kakistocracy - government run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens.18 Nov 2024 15:39 +0000at://did:plc:bogc7brb74obpivxcd6tjbhm/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbaawgge7s2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/thisisrudi.bsky.social/post/3l34covrkir2pI've seen this article shared a lot over the last 24 hours. Obviously it should be great that so many people appear to be interested in the pre 1066 period of history on these islands (a period I've loved for years), but sadly the Tweets (sorry) suggest otherwise. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/08/31/anglo-saxon-cancelled-to-decolonise-university-courses/01 Sep 2024 17:29 +0000at://did:plc:bogc7brb74obpivxcd6tjbhm/app.bsky.feed.post/3l34covrkir2phttps://bsky.app/profile/thisisrudi.bsky.social/post/3l2cik4qy5q2sThis is a fascinating read. I wonder if there's a risk for Xtians wrapped up in cultural Christianity. It seems to be a means for cultural conservatives to use Xtianity as a vehicle to push their agenda, and this might narrow the base to which Xtians can appeal. https://www.newstatesman.com/cover-story/2024/08/the-rise-of-cultural-christianity22 Aug 2024 11:04 +0000at://did:plc:bogc7brb74obpivxcd6tjbhm/app.bsky.feed.post/3l2cik4qy5q2shttps://bsky.app/profile/thisisrudi.bsky.social/post/3l22svm525s2iIs there an app that makes it easy to cross post the same things across different networks? If I've, say, Tweeted elsewhere but wanted to see if the discussion was different here, is there an easy way to do it, or would I have to copy & paste it all manually?19 Aug 2024 09:48 +0000at://did:plc:bogc7brb74obpivxcd6tjbhm/app.bsky.feed.post/3l22svm525s2i
