Thoughts on the plebiscite : Comments
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.

The quest for Marriage Equality by homosexuals is like the quest for the Holy Grail, the chasing of a myth.

I know what you mean, Is Mise. Even so-called “conservatives” nowadays believe in this myth about marriage being about love between one man and one woman.
Not according to my Bible! Anyone who knew our Lord’s word would know that a marriage is between one man, one woman, and their murdering son (Genesis 4); one man, his sister, and his maid (Genesis 20:12, 16:3); one woman and her rapist (Deuteronomy 22:28-29); one man and a kitchen condiment (Genesis 19:26); one man and a young girl he’s kidnapped and raped (Judges 21:7-23); one man, a bunch of women, an adulterer, and some whores (1 Chronicles 3:1-9); one man, 700 wives, and 300 concubines (1 Kings 11:1); one man, his daughter, and the servant had rape her (1 Chronicles 2:34); one man and as many wives as he pleases, so long as he has them all at once (Matthew 19:9). But marriage cannot be between one man and another man, because that’s immoral and goes against nature! The wets that pass for conservatives nowadays need to stop wishing they could be Christians and get a bit of Bible TRUTH back into them! Posted by AJ Philips, Friday, 26 August 2016 9:33:13 PM

I was recalling a friend telling me tales about what life inside prison was like. One of the stories was about how not to communicate with some of the LOW IQ (for want of a better term) fellow in mates. .. His view was that you had to avoid anything other than very simple things else there was a heightened risk of them misunderstanding and becoming enraged. .. An expression of cognitive dissonance, as you put it.
"Oh!" sung Wu, is fond of the Ad Hominem, or personal attacks isn't he? But still, I lost an old mate and Vietnam vet recently. He used to play footy for South Fremantle too. His ashes rest under the waves at a special part of the beach in Bali now where he wanted to be. You know, when I was still a child growing up in Perth, I have it on good authority that some members of the W.A. Police used to "telephone book" those who failed the "attitude test?" And another mate and one time Federal copper also couldn't take the "new politically correct" culture that was introduced and left. Bringing some members of the public service up to "best practice" has been an insurmountable challenge for some former members. You can imagine then with how it is with some members of the public? In some cases, they are blissfully ignorant of what is involved in formal decision making processes and the rules of logic and reasoned debate are unfamiliar concepts to them. Still, I accept that everyone needs to be heard and that new ideas can come from interesting quarters. However, as to how much weight is given to any contribution is a matter to be measured by peers on its merits. In other forums, "sticky notices" are put up to give "newbies" an intro into "best practice," above and beyond just the "do's and don'ts." Posted by DreamOn, Saturday, 27 August 2016 10:56:45 AM

not only full of arrogance but more than happy to misrepresent Scripture eh AJ. Why am I surprised.No problem for AJ with no moral basis to draw from to misrepresent the bible. You are pathetic.
(Mat 19:4) And He answered and said to them, Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning "made them male and female", (Mat 19:5) and said, For this cause a man shall leave father and mother and shall cling to his wife, and the two of them shall be one flesh? (Mat 19:6) Therefore they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate. Posted by runner, Saturday, 27 August 2016 11:10:57 AM

Speaking of imbeciles.
runner, Yes, but that’s not TRADITIONAL marriage! That’s only the form of marriage which Baby Jesus invented after his father (who was also himself) had taken anger management classes between testaments. Jokes aside, what your holy book says means absolutely nothing. Apparently, though, Is Mise wasn’t aware of this, nor the fact that there is no one objectively-defined form of marriage. To claim that a form of marriage is capable of being “myth” is an utterly absurd claim to make, and makes no sense at all. But thanks for helping to highlight just how inconsistent the Bible is. http://bibviz.com As for moral bases, mine may not come in the form of a book, but at least it doesn’t condone slavery and rape.
