But a new study shows federal MPs are invoking Christian beliefs with increasing frequency to justify their policies and articulate their personal values and visions for the nation

Kinda like "Sharia Law" ?

Sharia law is simply applying the laws of the Koran, so putting the laws of the bible into Australian law is similar. It happens across many laws from persecution of homosexuals to outlawing of abortion drugs.

Johenmo , perhaps you could become a moderator , that way you can decide what threads stay and go , or if you don't like the look of the thread , don't read it, see the options are numerous. I somehow don't think the rest of the posters on ASF want to be told what posts they can and cant subscribe to by you, but i could be wrong , it would'nt be the first time. !

You're right. One more thread along the lines of lots of others, regurgitating what has already been said in so many ways won't make much difference. Point was add to a thread, rather than start (yet) another.

But then this one may head off on a different way, and has as much right as the others of the same general persuasion to exist.

There are 8 million scientologists. Given that many people believe that we are descended from aliens, it must be true.........

And all that scientific work on evolution that has found that animals evolve and that humans are descended from apes is obviously wrong.

Just watched the South Park Scientology episode on SBS - very funny. Amazing that in the 21st century some people still believe all this religious nonsense.

Yes, but seriously, would you send Tom Cruise down to the corner shop with a $20 note to get a pack of Benson and Hedges. He'd get mugged or lose the change or bring back a pack of Drum.

He's not the brightest star in the sky. He was handsome and could remember his lines, and he's had a fair bit of luck, and good on him, but this puppy won't be following him if he decides to do a Jonestown or get into a spaceship.

Wow , i have have even used the search tool on ASF but to no avail , i just can't find another thread on here that even comes remotely close to "church members repeatedly bashing a child to death over the course of a few days , in our so called modern times," perhaps before you jump into the role as "self appointed moderater " you could point them out to me and the other 105 posters to this thread that you originally considered a rant !!!!

GG , im not trying to cause trouble here and stir up the populace, but if Tom Cruise jumps in that "spaceship" will John Travolta be flying it , the reason i ask is he owns a total of five aircrafts including the Boeing 707 and i dont think it would be too much of a transition from commercial jet to "spaceship" and he does look good in that uniform !!!!!

Agree Darkside mate,

However time is not on their side.

I mean for gawds sake they even got Kerry Packer's son into the den. God knows how much dosh the poor silly bastard put in to the Scientology coffers.

There are historical precedents for this.

The Child Crusades, 400,000 + sailed into salvery
Joan of Arc A poor lass suffering Schizophrenia
The Lourdes industry
That miracle thing in Croatia that every anaemic new Australian seems to go to.

John Travolta is a nice bloke , I met him once. Never met Tom Cruise. But they are human and prone to human failings, gullibility, delusions etc etc.

Darkside et al. I apologise to all for the TIC use of "strong" terms like ravers/ranters.

Found threads of same intent contained within various threads like Religion gone crazy, Religion preying on our youth etc. I really thought there were more specific - guess it cmes from trying to remember having read the threads. I take the intent to be to debate/discuss diff PsOV - as far as I can ascertain. GG even had one to keep religion off ASF - far more restrictive a POV than anythign I've put up.

Have no desire to moderate. Have a great weekend.

Incidentally there are plenty of religious nuts in the world, and non-religious nuts too. Don't think anyone deserves to be bashed to death, regardless of circumstances. And I think I'm right in saying it's agreement that peopel shouldn't hide behind/use things like religion to support their actions -which are just plain wrong.

Cheers

Three Hail Marys and a Glory be and you'll be right mate.

Go you are forgiven and put a few delisted scrip in the poor box.

Don't forget to kiss the Popes ring on the way out.

I would be interested in hearing your simple logic proving that the Christian God doesn't exist.

I used to NOT believe in God.

But then I realized that I was God.

Re: More Religious Nut's

Bobby, I expect ASF members to show a little more sensitivity to the beliefs of others than you have demonstrated in this post.

You may not agree with the religious views of others but that is no reason to denigrate them in this way.

I always tell people ... "If God and the Devil can't get along ... how does He expect us to??"

 

[Garpal Gumnut]

On a more serious note.

I prefer Religious nuts of my own persuasion than of a different one.

I was baptised RC and have all the biases and dogma of that religion ingrained in me.

I have many Islamist, Hindu, Protestant and other (SDA, Mormon, Shakers, Jewish and LDS) friends.

There are nuts amongst us all.

I am an atheist at the moment, though would like to be buried with RC rites in deference to my ancestors who believed and suffered for their belief.

Lets face it , when you are being buried , its forever and its good to be amongst folk of similar attitude, a bit like avoiding being stuck in a Club Med with Bruno!

The Jamies, Toms and other rich nonentities who assume religion like they would dope or pleasure do not interest me.

Give me a good peasant in Kandahar who can talk about his essence over a night fire rather than some Born Again Monkey on Channel 10 at 6am of a Sunday.

[trainspotter]

I take my religious nuts to church on every Sunday.

 

[weird]

Any religious bemusing is interesting.

I am still bemused why, after 5 different doctors, why I had 5 different diagnosis of chest pain, and all are considered experts

... in the world of science, that is ****.

Seems funny that we are so adamant to attack something 'far away', where we have not even come close to treating or understanding something much more closer.

Or do you take your nuts, to church every Sunday , religiously?

Hope you get this sorted, Weird, and its nothing serious.

When I was a lad it was put down to self abuse, are you guilty of this, beyond the norm ?

Thanks GG. I actually have delisted scrip!!! Will also partake of some wine for my health (as Jesus said to Timothy) tonight.

Not RC so won't kiss the pope's ring.
