, Social justice is giving everyone a fair go ' very sweeping statement Aidan. One could only assume you include the unborn babies in this statement and the right for the Jews to live in their homeland in peace.

Aidan,
In the first minute of the video Aurini said you'd say that ;) Social Justice in theory is very different to Social Justice in practice, people lie, steal and break the law all the time in the name of Social Justice, just ask Frances Abbott. Social Justice Warriors are fanatics unrestrained by laws, social norms or any sense of subordination to an authentic concept of a greater good, the "Left" in Australia in 2014 is comprised of the Anglican and Methodist churches and so called "moderate" Muslims. Two examples of negative christian activism. The Christians in question would throw open the borders to every guttersnipe from the third world who could shoehorn himself onto a rubber raft and make it into Australia's search and rescue zone and damn the consequences. The spread of Islam and the proliferation of Mosques in our cities and towns is being facilitated and defended by the Anglican and Uniting churches through land sales to Islamic organisations and aggressive campaigning and lobbying of councils.

Speaking of the road to hell, but in this case deliberate and deeply unambiguously bad intentions a certain lying rodent told the people of Australia some very obvious lies which lead to the situation described in the book Erasing Iraq The Human Cost of Carnage http://erasingiraq.com
For his services to the coalition of the KILLING and its very deliberate killing of the people of Iraq (dismissed as "collateral damage'), and the systematic and destruction of its infrastructure he was awarded the "freedom" medal by the village idiot from Texas. As far as I know this lying rodent has not offered one iota of a trace of public remorse for what he helped to set in train. He is also regarded as an "elder statesman" by certain sections of the Australian populace. Apparently he cant even begin to understand why some people he meets out in the public (quite rightly) call him a war criminal. And of course the shock-and-awe invasion of Iraq triggered off most/all of the chaos and terror in the Middle East and Afghanistan and the now everywhere threat of global terrorism, with its Orwellian double-speak never-ending "war on terror" - war is of course organized and even systematic terror. And of course part of the lying rodents toxic legacy which will most probably last forever is that caused by the use of depleted uranium. Why not google the topic, and view some of the horrific images too. Posted by Daffy Duck, Thursday, 30 October 2014 8:00:54 PM

Jay –
"In the first minute of the video Aurini said you'd say that ;)" No he didn't. "Social Justice in theory is very different to Social Justice in practice, people lie, steal and break the law all the time in the name of Social Justice, just ask Frances Abbott." What makes you say that was in the name of Social Justice? I thought it was done in the name of The Public Interest. And I'm pretty sure it is in the public interest to expose the fact that she was given a sixty thousand dollar scholarship because she was the daughter of the leader of the Liberal Party. "Social Justice Warriors are fanatics unrestrained by laws, social norms or any sense of subordination to an authentic concept of a greater good, the 'Left' in Australia in 2014 is comprised of the Anglican and Methodist churches and so called 'moderate' Muslims." Considering the Methodist church in Australia hasn't been around for decades (having merged with the Congregationalists and some of the Presbyterians to form the Uniting Church of Australia) your claim is very dubious. And who are these "social justice warriors"? "The Christians in question would throw open the borders to every guttersnipe from the third world who could shoehorn himself onto a rubber raft and make it into Australia's search and rescue zone and damn the consequences." A much better response than locking them up in concentration camps. And I'm pretty sure there's a strong biblical basis for showing kindness to foreigners, though I can't find a reference at the moment. "The spread of Islam and the proliferation of Mosques in our cities and towns is being facilitated and defended by the Anglican and Uniting churches through land sales to Islamic organisations and aggressive campaigning and lobbying of councils." Do you think the 2% of our population who are Muslim should be denied a fair go? Posted by Aidan, Thursday, 30 October 2014 9:05:44 PM

You have got to hand it to the Anglican Church. What they need is a new generation of moralising social puritans who ignore scientific method to push religious dogma. The Green demographic suits that purpose rather admirably. All the Anglicans have to do to turn these pagans away from worshiping Gaia, is to worship Gaia themselves and claim that worshiping Gaia is "Christianity."
The whole question of man made influence in global temperatures is coming apart at the seams. What we have on one side of the scientific debate are climate scientists who claim from computer modelling that global warming is essentially man made, and the geologists with hard, physical evidence that global temperatures are independent of carbon dioxide levels. The weight of evidence seems to be on the side of the geologists since Global temperatures have not risen for 17 years. The scientific debate is not over, so claiming that "science" supports the religious conviction that man is killing Gaia by burning fossil fuels is drawing a long bow.

Why do you link to the silly rants of someone who doesn't even know what social justice is?
Social justice is giving everyone a fair go. That's something that all Christians should support.
