: Is religion belief in the unbelievable? Is faith no more than J.G. Ballard’s phrase ‘elective psychopathy,’ the choice to step into madness so we can cope with the reality of permanent extinction at death. My grandfather was a life-long Catholic, he went to church every week, he was a Knight of Saint Columba, and he was my sponsor when I was confirmed, as a teenager. My grandad worked until he…

Death Valley The man who murdered scrambled through the trash strewn across the hillside. The secret seven crawled and concealed themselves amongst cracked concrete and broken bricks.
The Abyss that Laughs at Creation The voice continued its monotonous drone. What kind of moron broadcasted his washing machine woes inside of the crowded carriage of a cross-country train?
A Child is Born
A Child is Born
Malcom Mallow grinned at the dinner jackets and cocktail dresses packed inside the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. Gazing through the camera lens, projecting his power, he reached out to all those in TV Land, to the millions of fans worshipping his image on their Zenith colour screens, sat on their modular settees in the comfort of their new-build semi-detached homes. He let the seconds run…

There’s a whole debate out there on gay rights, feminists rights, and the right of individuals to live as the sex they know they were born to be.
Sexual identity is a complex thing, it waxes and wanes for some, for others they’ve always been sure.
The Christian churches are in a mess over the whole issue. Catholicism says be born homosexual is not a sin, being an active homosexual is. I can’t…

Will 2 Power
Come friend, take my hand, let us take a closer look at the Will to Certainty inside his cage; see him coiled and ready to sink venom into the unwary, hear him hiss words like foreigners, infidels, collateral damage, them n’ us… the Will to Certainty senses the weaknesses in our character. He sizes up his prey… The anxiety of helplessness is that sick sense of vulnerability in a world that is out…

The Good Taxi Driver A girl called Johnny goes on a date with a man she meets through a love-match website.
No Guarantees
If U2’s Zooropa is Ecclesiastes, then Pop is the Book of Job. ‘I’m alone in this world, laments St. Paul of Tallaght on Wake Up Dead Man, ‘and a fucked-up world it is too.’ …And how doth the wise man die even as the fool! So I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun was grievous unto me: for all is vanity and a striving after wind.
Where is voice of the cosmic author in the…

The Four Horsemen of the Soccalypse
I like a good football match same as anyone else: I like to see my team scores goals, I like to see the old enemy humiliated, I like to wear the team colours, and I like to laud the top goal-scorer.
This summer it’s the Fifa World Cup in Russia, and there will be plenty of opportunity for nations to get behind their eleven, to reopen old sores and settle old scores, to get cheer and jeer, and to…

The Problem of Pain (part II)
The Problem of Pain (part II)
There are two types of pain and suffering: the first is the pain that is done to us; the second is dukkha, mother-fucker, self-chosen suffering; and to quote Johnny Keats ‘in these regions many a venom’d dart at random flies.’
Dukkha is deficiency. The mega-bucket combo deal offered by the will to power leaves us craving more. We are always hungry, forever filled with an insatiable appetite,…

Doubt Club
The first rule of Doubt Club is you do talk about Doubt Club. The second rule of Doubt Club is you do talk about Doubt Club.
We humans are a circuit. If any part of that circuit weakens, we get sick. Primary input is our direct experience of life and other people. Secondary input is art: painting, poetry, music, cinema, cooking, gardening, architecture, TV, plays, singing, whatever. Sense-making…

The Guardian of Her Children’s Bones I was too old to care for five children; my house too small, my patience with the young too thin, my energy all but spent caring for my beloved as the flesh shrank from his bones in the bed of our love.
The Enlightened Witness
I earn my daily bread working for a large commercial organisation and as much as I enjoy the cut n’ thrust of mammon, it just isn’t enough. So, I started doing voluntary work about the same time as I started writing. Why? Well, aged thirty-four, I’d thought myself into a bad place. I’d become selfish and self-pitying, a man blessed by life who somehow believed himself cursed. I was ready to give…

Thank You for Hearing Me I sit in a deserted airport hotel bar. It is the end of the working day - the point where late afternoon becomes early evening.

Choose Your Own Way
You can read the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Nuns, develop an 8-stage of Change Management programme, follow the 12 step programme, and gradually disappear up your own backside.
Too often the effect of management gurus, personal development megastars, coaching and selfish help celebrities is to create dependence instead of encouraging us to think for ourselves.
And that’s true for religious…

A Stray Ballardian Neurone
A Stray Ballardian Neurone
There’s probably no better start to a book than line one, page one of ‘High Rise’ by JG Ballard. The trash infested tower block was the hell that was replicated in ‘Kingdom Come’ and ‘Cocaine Nights.’ The most disturbing part of all three books was the central (male) protagonist chose to stay in hell, the place where ‘madness is the only freedom left.’
I was sat in my car at a junction staring…
