By Michael Thompson, published 24/8/2016Opposition to a plebiscite basically assumes that the public will vote against gay marriage, so a plebiscite shouldn't be held because the public have no rights in this matter.

" ... Not only full of arrogance but more than happy to misrepresent Scripture eh AJ? Why am I not surprised. No problem for AJ with no moral basis to draw from to misrepresent the bible. ... "
AJ, I reckon you are so close now to being pronounced a Heretic. That's great work. A few more reasonable interpretations and that may just tip *Runner* over the edge.
Still, this place would be far less colourful without *Runner* and I have lost count of the times that some of his responses have left me in stitches.

I recall having a kretek and a yarn with the local Prayer Master some years ago in staunchly conservative Islamic East Jawa. He's passed on now. But I asked him, referring to scripture from the Al'Quoran, "Thinking about Nabi Isa (JC) and the other Prophets, is it true in Islam that they are all equal and to be equally respected?"
And he replied, "Yes, it is true, but you must undertand, that Nabi Mohammed was the one brought the Al'Quoran, and that is how we connect to this day, and that is why we love him the most."
