Actually no, it isn't. They could try exploring the history of the relevant ancient texts(?) - and note the lack of capitalist motivations for the original writers, contrasting with our present day context.

*God* is specifically opposed to views like Deacon's. And how shallow does one have to be to need to see models one feels personally attracted to?

@simonmarksfsn.bsky.social thankyou so much for discussing International Aid on LBC just now. I'm constantly despairing about how little the most disadvantaged people in our world (for whom each £ makes many times the impact it could here) are discussed.

I am DESPERATE for discussion of extreme suffering that gets overlooked. Starmer -bragging about "cutting child poverty", continually labelled "decent" and "good on the world stage"- axed Intl Aid programmes including atrocity prevention in Sudan and opposition to FGM. Will Burnham reverse Aid cuts?

I've had Anorexia and known 3 fellow patients die. I'm not unaware of starvation. Starvation isn't what austerity was, & you still haven't answered my question. And you're evidently not interested in having a conversation, only in tossing insults as you endeavour to make yourself feel superior. Bye.

"I'm 75... I decided it's time I bought myself a little holiday home" Wow. Some call younger people entitled, meanwhile there are a few individuals in older generations who think that a holiday home is right whilst most younger folk can only dream of having an actual home. #BBCAQ

It's demonstrative, in case there were any doubt, that his Rape Gang Enquiry is motivated by his taking advantage of the horrors those girls suffered for his own political gain, as he evidently doesn't care about children.

A pastoral reflection on ebola and the risks of love
Ebola has been spreading in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. A terrifying disease, it must be handled with great pastoral wisdom and care. The former Chairman of the World Evangelical Alliance's International Council provides advice to the Church, which at first may seem counter-intuitive for followers of Jesus.

The word "evangelical" has been massively misused in the US for decades It derives from "Evangel", meaning good news -that Christ offers eternal life (heaven) to anyone who chooses to truly accept Him- but in theUS it's been co-opted as a label for political tribalism www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiiR...

I despair - some people are seemingly more interested in trying to point fingers at the BBC for reporting on Afghanistan (choosing to imagine that the reporting of something implies endorsement of it, so that they themselves can feel morally superior) than they are actually concerned for victims.

A new Ebola outbreak has been confirmed in Congo. In 2025, Beth Cameron, Jon Finer, and Stephanie Psaki argued that the U.S. had a playbook for handling biothreats, then the Trump administration pushed out the people who knew how to use it.

A please @labouruk.bsky.social, stop saying that it's up to us to stop Reform. YOU could stop a Reform government in 2029, by introducing the proportional representation so many in the country have been clamouring for. The only way Farage can win is through our crazy first-past-the-post system.

No version of Christianity that is faithful, orthodox & true can fit neatly into a Democrat or Republican box. Anyone who's trying to do that is giving up the best gift that we have, which is this word from outside that challenges the human assumptions and political boxes we’ve made. @kaitlynschiess

Two things can be true at once. People with Tourette’s often can’t control what they say. It’s incredibly distressing to watch the N word be shouted at Black people by white people in any circumstances, but particularly on national television. You can feel both of those things, I believe.

You're both-siding, and it's much needed. The comments I've seen have all been very partisan. There seems to have been an imbalance IMO, with all the sympathy from Alan Cumming for his fellow Scot and not enough for Black folk. &Much of the public seem to have no concern for the pain racism causes.
