Making all marriages equal would be good if they were all equal to the best marriage, but not if they were all equal to the worst marriage.

Just as there is no such thing as a square circle or a carnivorous vegetarian, there is no such thing as same-sex marriage because marriage is the union of a man and a woman. “Marriage equality” in that context is just a marketing slogan.

All education was not free compulsory and secular until 1963. Catholic and other religious schools had existed for more than a century before that year.

When Robert Menzies began funding Catholic schools, he began funding Protestant ones too.

If “Australia has the most Christianised education system in the Western world”, where are the figures to support this assertion. Some 30 per cent of the UK’s fully publicly funded schools are private and usually run by religious authorities, mostly Anglican and Catholic. In addition, the non-funded elite schools are also often religious.

This is the usual diatribe that we have come to expect from fervent secularists. It is assumed that all Christians are fundamentalists who are a danger to the intellectual life of the nation. We could assume that all secularists are like Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, they are not. Most of them are kind and generous hard working and moral.

Stigmatising Christians as knuckle dragging throwbacks to a primitive age is just wrong. It is as if two centuries of theological investigation has not existed. The author levers his view on a mistake, Christian theological thought is developed, deep and profound. It is not based on anti-evolution or new earth ideas.

But this article is just a plug for his book that is obviously based on the above mistakes.

Another mistake would be to call the Nazis 'secularists', they were not.They instituted a state religion, and the fascists certainly weren't either.

And the communists weren't really either, as they merely replaced theological religion with a political ideology, and didn't separate it from the state but elevated to the status of a state religion.

Going on about these political ideologies that fitted hand in glove with religion and calling them 'secularists' and that secularists were to blame for WWII (but not WWI apparently) is really a stretch and so beneath you Sells.

I guess that a vicious lashback is what we should expect when your beliefs are attacked though.

The demography of our parliaments does not reflect the demography of the nation. If there is to be a striving towards the notion of 'democracy' this will be best served when the demography of our parliaments does indeed reflect the demography of this nation. It will not be achieved in my lifetime.

What does the term "marriage" actually mean?
Also, how do same-sex couples create children from their bloodlines?

Brian can continue in his blind ignorance but should not force it on others. The mantra that creation came from chaos, reason came from non reason might give Brian some conmfort despite being idiotic. No wonder the 'moral' base for secularist change every year or so. Just ask Rudd or Gillard when it comes to 'gay''marriage'. It is bbvious why so many adopt the gw pseudo religion and are so indignant about it. We are created moral beings despite the denials from the god deniers. Just where Brian draws his moral base from who knows.
