Ad astra per aspera
The Bishop of Rochester, Dr Michael Nazir-Ali, has defended traditional biblical teachings on homosexuality and said the Church should not be "rolled over by culture". Dr Nazir-Ali spoke as tens of thousands of people, including Sarah Brown, the Prime Minister's wife, joined the annual Pride London march to celebrate homosexual culture. A war of words broke out between Labour and the Conservatives over the issue of homosexuality last week after a minister accused the Tories of having a "deep strain of homophobia" running through the party. The bishop's controversial comments will reignite the battle over homosexuality in the Church of England ahead of what promises to be a divisive week for Anglicanism. Tomorrow, a new coalition of evangelical and Anglo-Catholic parishes, backed by Dr Nazir-Ali, will get under way, which critics have claimed is an attempt to create a "church within the church".

A pleasure I therefore claim to show, not how men think in myths, but how myths operate in men's minds without their being aware of the fact. Levi-Strauss, Claude
At first I thought this was a joke: But this article on Beliefnet [via Jezebel] that discusses how women should fight societal acceptance of gay marriage, because homosexuality will become as normal as it was in ancient Rome, appears to be legit. Apparently, if gay marriage becomes the norm, all men will turn gay, because they are better lovers! That's right ladies: 'the historical precedent suggests that tomorrow's women will have a harder time finding and holding on to suitable men,' who will leave us for 'smooth-skinned boys'.

I also think trumatic scenes like childbirth shown to young boys implant a psychological aversion to women in them.
A woman whose talent for maths helped foil German V2 bombs in World War II has published her life story.Eileen Younghusband, 87, from the Vale of Glamorgan, received the coded message that the first V2 rocket had been launched against Britain. She had the secret task while in the Women's Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF). She said: "It was our information that gave air-raid warnings, it told the Royal Observer Corps where the aircraft were coming in." Mrs Younghusband added: "The girls who worked on that section, many of them now nearly 90 years of age, have never felt that the work they did has been recognised, so this is one of the reasons that made me write this book."
