Wonder Woman 4.5/10 I am very disappointed in this movie because I'm a big WW fan. I don't mind Gal Gadot as WW nor Captain Kirk as Steve Trevor. It's just that the plot was complete crap. Didn't anyone think to tell her that the Germans were people too? Or was she too busy killing them? (WWI...

They need to prove firstly that it is possible for gods to exist, then that God exists and thirdly that he is the only god. That's a lot of proving.

Fun thing is that when western explorers discovered Australia and its odd fauna, they wondered if it was a separate creation (not mentioned in the bible). So this kangaroo... did God create him in his spare time?

It all boils down to something very like us but magic. Probably the greatest non-explanation ever.

Only the second "secret" makes the slightest sense, but what it predicts is very predictable. All the wars humanity has ever fought came to an end eventually, usually through exhaustion of the parties involved or else one party occupies the other. And - lo and behold - another war is predicted...

If God is love, why don't people say "I God you" instead of "I love you"?

By talking about us being slaves to God you're implying that there's something that God can't do himself, or if he can do it, we can do it better or quicker. We allegedly have a god that can create heaven, universes, planets etc on demand, yet he needs a bunch of microbes to perform some...

Honestly the Conservative-led UK government has been almost a placeholder government, firstly in coalition with the Liberal Democrats with David Cameron as PM (!) Then they got a slim majority out of the blue, although not big enough to face the important questions of the day. And now we're back...

So many things are made in other countries these days, which means that when taxes are cut, the extra money is largely spent on economic activity elsewhere. Or else it is pocketed.

I thought of this recently. Many people in the Star Wars universe are seduced by the Dark Side of the Force. Darth Vader tells us not to underestimate its power. The problem is that it always loses in a fight against some plucky Jedi. So it's not as powerful as DV thinks it is. Why does...

If you don't want to be loved (it's possible) then love is hell, no?

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 7.5/10 - Said Fantastic Beasts seemed to be just about everywhere in this movie, but added little beyond scenes of cuteness, fun or slight menace. The human actors were OK but the actual plot took a while to appear... and then there was a slightly boring...

I take the view that math&logic therefore not God. Why? Because these are concepts and rules that do not need creating. One object plus another will be two regardless of the labels we use to represent the constituent parts of that operation. The meaning of what two is does not need to be...

Can god photocopy himself?

Ben-Hur 5/10 - Oh dear, what a disappointment this was. Clunky dialogue and a terribly cheesy ending ruined it for me. Jesus episodes were dropped in randomly for no apparent purpose and added nothing of note to the main plot (whereas in the 1959 version, they were sparing and added something)...
