For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Five of those "news" items were so completely Brit-centric and so completely trivial that it's no stretch to assume that they were never reported or even mentioned anywhere at all outside the UK.

I got the other two right.
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

"Scunnered"

3/7 - only knew one, the other two were lucky guesses. Didn't know the Montana question; haven't been listening to enough local news this week.

This one:
Nadiya Hussain has won this year's Great British Bake Off on BBC One, beating her rivals Tamal Ray and Ian Cumming. The three finalists dominated the whole series, winning the star baker award in all but two episodes. Who were the season's other two star bakers?
Doesn't even rise to the level of trivia...
