My pet gripe for today is religious bullies: Today I went and had some gifts wrapped at a little stall at a local shopping mall. I ignored the overtly Christian material draped all over the table the lady who was wrapping the gifts was sitting at, smiled and asked her to wrap my gifts. She…

The Vestige Of Ignorance – AUKSANO & The SABC Sabotage Religious Freedom In SA
In a post on Facebook on the SABC’s page, the SABC advertised a video of a recent appearance by AUKSANO as follows: “Satanism in South African schools is on the rise and incidents of that has puzzled communities. A learner was sentenced to 10 years for the murder of a friend in Randfontein. Three men and…
St. Marks Debate: Ignorance Is Not A Point Of View
The debate around the St Marks “Sex in the City – Is Gay Okay?” discussion held at the church three weeks ago just doesn’t seem to want to die. You can view the video I took here: https://youtu.be/00-u-tJwh-o Homophobes continue to post their ignorant remarks in such a manner as if to show that a) they…
St Marks, “Dr”. Woolard Reject Science As “Claptrap” Since It Doesn’t Suit Their Prejudice
I note with amusement in the letters column of today’s Herald, that ‘Dr.’ Woolard still hasn’t provided any of his alleged scientific sources which he claims to prove that LGBT people are the consequence of molestation, pedophilia, “broken homes” or masturbation. Instead, he has dismissed the findings of respected researchers in the medical field as…
Only YOU Can Save The World (If Not You, Who Else?)
I was most fortunate to have two friends who were Methodist ministers, both very open-minded and very loving people. They frequently took heavy fire for being welcoming of gay folks, and even people of other faiths, and for standing up against haters in their own ranks. The fact that I left Christianity to follow a…

I read this item a number of years ago. Twice. Seeing it listed on Goodreads.com made me see red, and prompted me to write a review on it. It turned out to be a rather scathing public lashing in which I visualized the pen in my clenched mental fist taking the form of a sharp…
Read Between The Lies
In a somewhat unusual move for me, I went to a church service on Sunday 18 Aug – unusual because I am not a Christian and haven’t been since I renounced the religion and all its tenets in 2010. In the meantime, I have affiliated with Pagan religion. On the bright side, at least I…
New Book Almost Ready!
Hello again, friends and fans! I’m almost done with my next book – “Dead Beckoning“. Just a little more refining and rounding off to go, and then it will go up on Lulu.com. “Dead Beckoning” is a tale of space piracy, friendship under fire, action and intrigue – and is the sequel to “Demonspawn” and “Blachart“….
Hello There, Friends & Fans!
Hello there, friends & fans! Believe it or not, it’s hard work promoting books without staff or literary agents to do it for you… but I suppose it should come as no surprise that services like that cost a hell of a lot of dosh – especially when you convert currencies from ZAR into $…
Russia Has Lost It’s Soul… And Its Mind
Russia has begun a very enthusiastic crack-down on LGBT people, and it’s using Christian religion and junk-science being peddled by American purveyor of Christian terrorism, hate and junk science, Scott Lively as justification. It’s very concerning. Unfortunately this is what happens when religious conservativism is allowed to run riot, and when that very important line…
