    To be fair, not just a problem with modern Christians, if you read ‘Daemonology’ by James the 1st (of England, 6th of Scotland and the one who wrote/edited the King James bible version) he took it quite literally too.

    I’m still not sure if it’s a case of ‘wilful ignorance’ of the bits they don’t like, or a ‘Forest Gump’ “stupid is as stupid does” - probably both, with a sprinkling of grifters thrown in.

    it’s available at Gutenberg.org if you’re interested; it’s, um, an interesting take…

    He wrote it as a response to the “proliferation” of witches in England - so with no agenda at all! /s








  • “I do have concerns about them using ingredients like vitamin C, vitamin A (retinoids) and exfoliating acids like AHAs and BHAs.”

    As someone who’s ‘into’ skincare, it also happens that the ingredients mentioned are also amongst the best treatments for blackheads, spots, sebaceous filaments and other assorted teenage/hormonal changes skin issues - I suspect this article is not about ageing, but about “youngsters” being more educated about what they need!

    Vit C has also been shown to help boost spf’s, so is something recommended to anyone at any age (if your skin ‘gets on’ with it).

    This is a stupid article, as Guardian subscriber I’m very disappointed, it’s a ‘nothing’ article that I’d more expect of the Mail!
