Modern Guru: I went into a 'forbidden' church car park. Should I confess my sin?


READ MORE

So, do you confess your sin? Only if you’re a devout Christian because you would believe that Jesus is the Supreme Parking Officer, strolling up and down the streets of humankind, chalk-marking the back tyre of people’s souls with His Righteous Chalk Stick and issuing spiritual infringements for sinful behaviour. Which is kind of annoying, and people may feel like yelling out, “Hey, Parking Officer Jesus, why don’t you get yourself a real job?” But they don’t, because it’s Jesus.


And if you’re not a devout Christian, you don’t have to worry – just wipe off that chalk mark from your soul-tyre. It comes off easily with a bit of saliva on your thumb. Parking Officer Jesus will never know.

READ MORE Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Email print World Cup fever has crossed platforms. There was Harry Kane sneaking into India’s training sessions to meet Virat Kohli. And now there’s the All Blacks picking a XV made up of past and present cricketers. With the @cricketworldcup underway in England, we’ve taken a look at all the best players from past and present to select the ultimate Cricket XV! SQUAD NOTES https://t.co/B3rnj5OBuJ #CWC19 pic.twitter.com/KuUtPU77PT — All Blacks (@AllBlacks) June 2, 2019 And they’ve got some pretty cool reasons for picking some pretty cool players. Curtly Ambrose : If anyone wants to argue with this selection then take it up with Sir Curtly himself. We dare you. MS Dhoni : The Richie McCaw of Cricket. Enough said. Dwayne Leverock : Famous for his one-handed catch at the 2003 World Cup, the 130kg Bermudian would surely make just as big a splash on the rugby field. Jofra Archer runs in to bowl  Get...

Non-surgical rhinoplasty is on the rise, but not everyone is convinced

Image
READ MORE I can remember about 10 years ago going to a Cosmetex cosmetic surgery conference in Sydney where a doctor gave a demonstration, injecting the filler Restylane (a form of hyaluronic acid ) into a hooked nose; the de-bumping results were really impressive, and it only took 15 minutes. Since then there has been a steady rise in the use of nose fillers: also referred to as the non surgical nose job. Now, I have had the full-blown open rhinoplasty surgical version so am keen to drill down (pardon the pun) and find out more about the ins and outs of the “liquid nose job”. “Liquid nose jobs” are on the rise. Photo: Shutterstock Shereene Idriss a clinical instructor in dermatology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and a cosmetic dermatologist at Union Square Laser Dermatology in New York City, has lots to say on her #pillowtalkderm about the pitfalls of the liquid nose job. “Liquid rhinoplasty, as seen on social media, appears to be t...

Tens of thousands protest Trump's immigration laws in 700 cities

READ MORE Tens of thousands of demonstrators, baking in the heat and boiling mad at US immigration policy, marched across the country Saturday to protest the separation of families under President Donald Trump’s hardline agenda. Directly across from the White House, demonstrators filled Lafayette Square park in an atmosphere of both indignation and sadness, before marching toward the Capitol. “We don’t believe in borders, we don’t believe in walls,” Sebastian Medina-Tayac, of the Piscataway Indian Nation, declared in English and Spanish at the start of the rally dubbed “Families Belong Together.” Loudspeakers broadcast the cries of a child split from its relatives, as a Brazilian mother told of being separated from her own son. “I missed nine months of his life and it should never have happened,” said the woman, Jocelyn, whose case dates from before the practice of separating families intensified in May. “Shame! Shame!” ...
