I share the author's worries about Tony Abbott's well known, archaic views on ironing, women, feminism, abortion and female virginity.

I can't imagine how a man, who was actually training to be a priest, would now suddenly change all his old-fashioned, deeply ingrained views.

The fact that he EVER praised a politician like Sarah Palin only serves to further alert me to his obviously still fervently held religious convictions.

I agree that a leopard never changes his spots.

More Tranter socialist/green tantrums.

'We are all influenced by a value system that we hold, but in the end, every decision that a politician makes is, or at least should, in our society be based on the normal sorts of considerations. It's got to be publicly justifiable; not only justifiable in accordance with a private view; a private belief.'

You have repeated your previous misrepresentations of Peter Singer views.

As I recall, Singer has never advocated aggressive sexual acts by humans being perpetrated on animals. Yet you have repeatedly stated he has advocated such acts by labelling his views as advocating bestiality

I have made this point previously in response to your comments.
You appear never to let facts get in the way of your dogmatic views.

Christian morality has to face the problems arising from the barbarous behaviour claimed by the prophets of the old testament to have been approved, even mandated, by their god.

Even some of the moral proposals attributed to Christ are at best doubtful, such as hating your relatives to follow him.

Suzeol "I agree that a leopard never changes his spots"

I can see that you, like many others are keen for a committed socialist to be our leader, as none of you can see that she could possibly change from what she has been most of her life.

Interesting that you see benefits for Australia being led by a socialist .. what are those benefits and where have worked before?

China, Russia ..?

Foyle you defend your High Priest with this

'As I recall, Singer has never advocated aggressive sexual acts by humans being perpetrated on animals'

Singer clearly indicated his endorsement for consensual sex with animals. With a morality base formed from the evolution faith it really is no surprise. Stop being so deceitful and misrepresenting your hero.
