		<description><![CDATA[Whereas most modern researchers try to follow the evidence wherever it leads, conservative Christians (and the conservative adherents of many other religions) pursue lines of evidence only so far as this evidence does not contradict the basic beliefs mandated by their holy texts. In the case of conservative Christians, scientific research, educational research, biblical research [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You may not have caught up with all the evangelical Christian and/or creationist reviews of Richard Dawkins&#8217; excellent book The God Delusion (Bantam, 2006). Strangely enough, all of these reviewers were less than impressed with what Dawkins had to say, and expressed themselves accordingly.
Let&#8217;s start with conservative Presbyterian Barney Zwartz, the Melbourne Age&#8217;s religious affairs [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There have been many attempts to discover whether praying to the Christian god has any effect. During the last few years, some studies have been conducted in which groups of Christians and others have prayed for certain types of hospital patients. But apart from obvious methodological problems e.g. how do you exclude the effects of [...]]]></description>

The topic was &#8216;Keeping God out of Government&#8217; and among the participants was one Barney Zwartz. Zwartz, a conservative Presbyterian who doubles as religion editor of the Melbourne Age, told us a few [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Did you know that the world is positively teeming with demons? They&#8217;re all over the place, rebelling against God, performing evil acts and &#8216;possessing&#8217; human beings &#8211; even some Christians. Many, perhaps most, fundamentalists and Pentecostals believe that this is true and a lot of them are doing something about it. The &#8217;something&#8217; is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While Christian fundamentalists and Pentecostals dismiss the beliefs of Muslims and Hindus etc. as &#8217;sheer superstition&#8217;, they are in fact extremely superstitious themselves. Supporters of the Religious Right, both Protestant and Catholic, love the idea of &#8216;miracles&#8217; and are very credulous about supernaturalist stories. This renders many of them easy prey for the cash-extracting stage [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While some untutored Christian friends have denounced my suggestion that fundamentalists consign unbaptised foetuses to hell (13 May 2005), others have confirmed the accuracy of this position. In discussing the related question of whether those who die as babies go to heaven or hell, Rev. D. R. Niven of St George, Qld. makes the following [...]]]></description>
