Hogwash. Utter Hogwash.
What Planet are you on Bill Muehlenberg? "A major secondary factor in the American Civil War, and one which many contend was the primary factor, was simple economics. One of the greatest powers of bondage at the end of the age will be that of money over people. Money will be the ultimate false god at the end, which is why the "mark of the beast" is an economic mark, and why "the love of money" is called "the root of all evil." A god is not just something you bow down to, but what you trust in. Many of the coming conflicts between movements, denominations and individual churches will be deeply rooted in the power that money now has over the church. Many will use doctrinal differences or other issues as justification for their attacks on their brothers, but the real cause will be over a loss, or potential loss, of money." http://www.etpv.org/1996-97/civwar.html Is it worth even talking with you. We need to embrace ALL Australians, especially under the name of the spirit. Get a life! Seems you are a pot calling a kettle black. A delictum gravius! Worldwide the church has alot to answer for. Talk to that! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_sex_abuse_cases Find comment by miacat, Sunday, 1 August 2010 http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/compose-message-article.asp?action=preview Say it all in one. http://www.miacat.com/ Posted by miacat, Thursday, 19 August 2010 11:49:41 PM

Great article Bill. The Green’s policies are diametrically opposed to so many of the fundamental beliefs of Christians. The notion that a ‘conscientious’ Christian could vote for them is ludicrous. Only a naive or seriously deluded Christian could vote for them in my opinion.

At the end of the day who cares who the true Christians in Australia vote for, I've been around a while and never actually met one, must be a very rare breed. Met plenty of Sunday morning christians and I suggest they vote for the FFP, DLP or a write in vote for Father George.

I'd be interested to know how many of the "bible believing" christians who see the abortion issue as so fundamental have actually done the research from the bible to see what it says on the topic - including those references which don't support your current view.
Can you justify from scripture claims that abortion is murder? Can you justify claims that your god places an equal value on the life of the unborn (or even very young infants) to that which is placed on adults and older children? From what I can see of the issue the anti-abortion stance of many fundies has become a cultural artifact which most assume is grounded in scripture without any real understanding of what the bible says on the topic. Bible believing becomes preacher believing and don't worry about what the bible actually says. R0bert Posted by R0bert, Friday, 20 August 2010 7:43:31 AM

The Greens policy on abortion will have no bearing on what happens after the election, nor will the fact a few late-term abortions are performed for foetuses that will be non-viable outside the womb - Get real.
A conscientious-Christian would be conscientious about facts and correct emphasis on issues around them . Posted by McReal, Friday, 20 August 2010 8:00:47 AM

'The Greens are not honest about what they believe.' Of course they aren't. They have no basis for morality which explains their intolerance for anyone who does. With their High Priest Singer who has openly endorsed bestiality it is no wonder they won't answer questions. The award for humanitarian of the year is an absolute joke seen they are so obviously anti human. Almost every false religion has offered children as sacrifices over the centuries and the Greens faith is no different.
