So, she was adrift, vaulted blindly thinking she was rescued only to discover it was not quite so, questions the last 20 years of her existence, and now in yet another jump, as a stunned moth, flies into fire wildly pinning for a savior. Give her another decade, and she will have staged a gingerly somersault, if she has not off'ed herself.

Western civilisation is under threat from three different but related forces: the resurgence of great-power authoritarianism and expansionism in the forms of the Chinese Communist Party and Vladimir Putinโs Russia; the rise of global Islamism, which threatens to mobilise a vast population against the West; and the viral spread of woke ideology, which is eating into the moral fibre of the next generation.
The only credible answer, I believe, lies in our desire to uphold the legacy of the Judeo-Christian tradition.
secular freedoms โ of the market, of conscience and of the press โ find their roots in Christianity.
I have also turned to Christianity because I ultimately found life without any spiritual solace unendurable โ indeed very nearly self-destructive.
... that there is a better way to manage the challenges of existence than either Islam or unbelief had to offer.
