By Warwick Marsh, published 13/4/2017

Believe it or not, Easter celebrates a man who died a criminal's death and became the foundation for what are commonly called 'Australian Values'.

I have seen the Easter as a real celebration and not just some fake trash.

To believe that someone can return from the dead is superstition. Even the early Egyptians believed in the afterlife, at the same time they gutted the dead to preserve the body. So how sure we're they about afterlife or was it wishful thinking or superstition.

Theirs is still a lot of superstition around the world, the dead comeback to claim what is theirs, right down to removing pieces of furniture that was theirs. The belief is so strong that shared accomodation becomes abandoned no matter where the person died.

That is what religion is based upon, an ancient tradition that has no foundation other than superstition. And pushed by those that do not believe in what they preach. It all comes from the educated and the naive. Power over mind.

Is Mise,

You really are cracking up, aren't you? Repeating a comment I made to another person, on another thread, which has nothing to do with this one!

If you cannot see, from the information YOU gave me that the vast majority of Australians have no convict antecedents and, therefore, the the popular misconception about modern Australians is total codswallop – bit of a laugh – then I don't know what will become of you.

I think, perhaps, that you might have had a bit of a mishap with one of the fast draws you have bragged about, and blown out you own brains.

ttbn,

Are you so stupid that you don't realize that 22% is more than a 'few'?

"few

determiner, pronoun, & adjective

1.
a small number of.
"may I ask a few questions?"
synonyms: not many, hardly any, scarcely any;

2.
used to emphasize how small a number of people or things is.
"he had few friends"
synonyms: not many, hardly any, scarcely any;

noun
1.
the minority of people; the elect.
"art is not just for the few"
synonyms: a small number, a handful, a sprinkling, one or two, a couple, two or three;"

Where and when did I brag about fast draws?

More of your imaginings?
