Stephen Hawking’s God-Haunted Movie
The new bio-pic of Stephen Hawking is, curiously, a God-haunted movie
“In turning his back on what he calls “a celestial dictator,” Stephen Hawking was indeed purging his mind of an idol, a silly simulacrum of God, but in seeking, with rational discipline for the theory of everything, he was, in point of fact, affirming the true God.” The great British physicist Stephen Hawking has...

Dear Suicidal Friend, There Is Hope

There are over 2.8 million Muslims in England and conversions are few; Christian Concern hopes British families will open their homes and hearts to ex-Muslims whose lives are at risk.
