Human beings look after each other. Some Christians occasionally do this. We can therefore claim it was invented by Jesus. That is, if I hadn’t started with a 15,000 year old skeleton with a broken femur that had healed.

So it turns out that people of all hairstyles and none look after each other, and Christianity’s got absolutely nothing to do with it.

And that is today’s Big News from a Faith Perspective,

And in the Big News today from a Faith Perspective, there’s a Big Jewish Festival coming up. Happy Jewish New Year everyone! Afghan refugees. Ancestry and tradition, especially Jewish tradition, is so important.

Petnapping is to become a crime. The Big Book of Magic Stuff says we should control animals, but just ignore that. Christians love fluffy animals. They are sentient, although not made in the image of the Invisible Magic Friend and they won’t go to heaven, so you can forget about spending eternity with your favourite pet.

I took the Kindness Test, because that’s the sort of person I am. Not that I want to boast about it on radio on a flagship news programme.

So why are we kind? Some people think we’ve evolved to be a social caring species, but I don’t like those words. I think it was because of Jesus. Yes, that’s a much better explanation.
