David, thinking back to one of your earier comments in relation to more recent discussions

"It seems that when there is an obvious detrimental movement in society, whether it be alchohol or devient sex, or sexual abuse, or drugs.. people come out of the woodwork and condemn any proposed legislative solution to such abuse. WAIT.. no, they simply propose to ALLOW it all, because.. "you can't legislate morality" ?"

It seems that you owe a significant debt of gratitude to those who have gone before advocating for tollerance and allowing what others have previously considered immoral or damaging to society. Those who have faced the scorn and attacks of people just like yourself who have insisted that whatever it is they don't like is obviously wrong.

You might take a moment to reflect how different your life would have been if others had not already fought and largely won the battle over mixed marriage (and children of mixed race).

"Jesus spoke very harshly to some groups. Haven't you noticed?
Those he spoke most harshly to, were those who had the education and the knowledge to recognize the truth (about Him) but then rejected it.
Well educated Muslims, are in that category (i.e. religiously educated)"

So Jesus was a bigot, just like you.

I can honestly say, Boazy, that no one has ever turned me off Christ and Christianity quite as much as you have.

yvonne,

'Boazy, take the life of JC as an example. He was very much into breaking all sorts of rules and laws. He was a regular rebel, shockingly anti-establishment. He thought there were too many rules and laws. Remember?
'

Yep, I'd even wager if Jesus was around today he'd be in Gaol. I read this some time ago after that scandalous Blake Prize entry with Mary and Osama and found it funny...

Boazy will love this:-)

...What all this shows is how far the far-Right evangelical view of Christianity has strayed from the reality of Jesus. Allegedly conservative mono-cultural fruitloops keep referring to Australia’s Christian heritage. Yet how would they react if the real Jesus returned and arrived in Australia?

Well, for a start, they’d probably think he was a terrorist. He wouldn’t be speaking English, and would suddenly appear from the wilderness looking rather dishevelled.

Jesus’ photo would be splashed across our American-owned metropolitan tabloids. Piersed Akumen and his colleagues would be waxing unlyrical about this latest foreign threat. Gerard Henderson would attack the "civil rights lobby" for defending Jesus. Janet Albrechtsen would castigate lawyers and judges for defending a man who wants to establish the Kingdom of God (read sharia law) in Australia. The AFP wouldn’t understand a word Jesus was saying but would charge him anyway. Some magistrate would grant Jesus bail, and the good Catholic Kevin Andrews would cancel Jesus’ visa and send him back to … um … er … God The Father?

As William Dalrymple keeps reminding us, Christianity (like Judaism and Islam) is a Middle Eastern religion. And Jesus was a Middle Easterner. Just accept it
