Gillard has her own brand of irrational belief -- belief in her own destiny as a leader who can outdo Rudd by snatching victory out of a desperate crisis. And this has led her into ever-more desperate attempts to manufacture crises -- real or imaginary -- for the sole purpose of snatching us out of.

'the greatest moral challenge of the century ' not the killing of the unborn babies, not the hijacking by the homosexual lobby, not the rise of Islam, not the godless immoral doctrination of the secularist, not the lies of Dawkins, Hitchens promoted by the National Broadcaster but man made climate change. What an absolute joke and this from a 'Christian' PM. The author has a lot of work to do is he is to undertand anything about Christians and belief systems.

I think we are about to have a Royal Commission into Christian ethics? Can we get back to you on this?

Applied "Christian" ethics 101 as recorded in the historical record.
By their blood-soaked "fruits" you will surely know them! http://www.jesusneverexisted.com/cruelty.html Posted by Daffy Duck, Monday, 4 February 2013 1:28:07 PM

I may be missing something but I thought I voted for a politician to represent me in our Government, not for someone to look after my spiritual needs. Being a Christian is not a requisite for Prime Minister. Compassion is seen to be a Christian trait and yet the Catholic Church and Mr Abbott have shown poor taste when victimising asylum seekers aka 'boat people'. It is M/s Gillard who is championing the poor and the disabled, she is trying to give everyone a 'fair go' in the education field ... do you need more to see how she is probably more of a Christian than some practicing Christians??
Going to Macdonalds' doesn't make you a hamburger just as going to Church doesn't make you a Christian. Posted by mally, Monday, 4 February 2013 2:23:02 PM

Yuri I dont know what media you use, but there has never been a politician so heavily supported by our ABC, or most of the rest of the media.
Give the lady a fair go! God help us. She was given every opportunity by every one I know. The fact that she blew it on less than a week shows what a lying, conniving bit of trash she is.
I have never been able to understand how anyone could possibly believe in a god, however if I thought the difference in behaviour & ethics between Howard & Gillard stems from a belief in god, I would be instantly converted.
