The sky is falling, the sky is falling!
Typical right wing hysterical rant but what else could you expect from a member of the pretentious "gospel" coalition.

The authors name has distinct similarities to the Balrog from the Lord of the Rings.

"God ordains that they assume distinctive roles which reflect the loving relationship between Christ and the church, the husband exercising headship in a way that displays the caring, sacrificial love of Christ, and the wife submitting to her husband in a way that models the love of the church for her Lord."

When people believe this sort of thing how can they expect others to follow.

All for "religious freedom", but the reality is that organised Christianity is already the most cosseted minority group in Australia, especially as regards federal government's overt and heavily-funded preference for church over state schools.

Churches will always remain free to teach against science, indoctrinate children, or prefer straight blokes to women and LGBTQ groups. These are not fringe beliefs, but central to the Catholic and Anglican dioceses of Sydney.

No great revelation; we are gradually losing many freedoms, not just religious; and Marxists haven't finished with us yet. Forget "refugees": we have given up protecting ourselves and our own values. And if "a lot of people" coming here as "refugees" from religious persecution still think that they are persecuted in Australia, then they are paranoid and will never be happy, and, in all probability, are bringing their problems here with them. 'Persecution' is not just being unable to get everything you want all the time.

This is more a complaint on behalf of "refugees" than it is about Christianity. Let's have freedom from whingers who conned their way into our country under the "refugee" scam.

I'm sorry, but, religious freedom never gave anyone the right to believe folk had a choice about the sexuality they were born with! Except where teachings/doctrine is misrepresented or misunderstood or misinterpreted?

Moreover, religious belief, whatever that is, is between you and your God! An unstable conviction that the world is, was flat never ever made it so! And peer-reviewed scientific revelations have identified at least two gay genes with three more possibles. Something these homophobes that claim the right to endlessly persecute difference, studiously ignore!

So-called religious freedom never ever included a right to persecute difference. No matter how personally repugnant that difference may be

And given gender reassignment, what do you know about those who worship beside you or partake in religious ceremony!

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone!

Correction of a mischievous and vexatious auto-correct, unstable convection was written as unshakable convection.
