Philosophical arguments about religion at Christmas : Comments

By Tristan Ewins, published 22/12/2017

In the light of the Royal Commission into Child Sexual Abuse some people are claiming a general redundancy of Christianity, or even religion in general.

. (Continued …) . Also, I don’t know how you feel, but, I must say that I am more than a little disturbed by the attitude of the Catholic Church in dismissing the key recommendations of the royal commission into child abuse by a large number of its clergy. So much for its morality and the pretended sincerity of its regrets. On a similar vein, the recent declaration of the Catholic Archbishop of Sydney Anthony Fisher, that “2017 might be described as “annus horribilis” because of euthanasia laws in Victoria, the exposure of child sexual abuse in the Catholic church, and the legalisation of same-sex marriage were failures that challenged “our Christian conceptions of life”. Not only does he demonstrate his complete lack of humanity on the question of euthanasia and his ignorance of the fact that homosexuality is just as natural as heterosexuality and a common feature of all living species, but, obviously, he is also totally oblivious of the huge gaffe he made in qualifying “the exposure” of child sexual abuse in 2017 as a “failure” that challenged the Christian conception of life. That is a Freudian slip of the tongue that is quite revealing, don’t you think ? : http://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/dec/24/same-sex-marriage-and-euthanasia-mean-annus-horribilis-catholic-bishop?utm_source=esp&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=GU+Today+AUS+v1+-+AUS+morning+mail+callout&utm_term=257990&subid=10045778&CMP=ema_632 .

You may have a mental disability.
A prediction about non-existent reactors to .01 cent kwh is not fact.
Discussing and disagreeing with your public posts is not an offence.
Accusing me of causing death is an offence.
If you didn't have a mental disability you would understand you have broken the law.
It's not possible to reason with you.

Banjo, I will appologise for going off topic on this one, but. Are you saying that homosexuality is as natural as heterosexuality because it exists and therefore it is natural? By suggesting such a thing you have completely rejected the fact that in the overall mechanics of life and ALL it's properties and functions nowhere is there a place or structure to support or cater to a homosexual. Where-as the opposite applies to heterosexual beings. Nature is our teacher. There can be NO deviation from what IS natural. It is natural for ALL living creatures to reproduce, which is natural and instinctive. Nowhere is there any place for two creatures of the same sex to function 'normally'. It is definitely not natural. It may be construed as natural and instinctive by those conflicted with this dis-order. And make no mistake it is a dis-order. Your comments try to ascert that being born as something other than a heterosexual, MUST be normal because, well they are here now and alive so once something is created, by definition, it becomes the norm? You and your lot want to believe anything that legitimises the normality of the abnormal. Why do you think words like queers, poofs and so on came to be? Queers are no more natural than Albino's or midgets and so on. They are a minority and as such should be treated so. We should pity them not applaud them.
Just needed to correct your mis-leading comments on the subject.

David, as it stands, it is you who needs to 'get with reality'. You obviously don't like what I have written. As I have said many times before, if what I write is wrong then I would appreciate being corrected as I don't relish in mis-information. On the other hand if what I say offends or upsets you then, I don't care. Ones emotions are counter productive to any discussion or debate. It is no different than if a woman wants to get her way, she will ultimately resort to tears and they are quickly accommodated, completely denying any further and factual discussion on the matter. So if you find factual flaws in my comments I would appreciate any correction. On the other hand if your offended by what I have said, I don't care!

NNN. Suggest you were looking in the mirror when whipping off your last post? You do not reason you impugn!

You try and credit me with the evidence based facts presented by highly credentialed scientists like nuclear technologist Kirk Sorensen, and many many others.

Don't threaten me with the law unless you are prepared to risks $50,000.00 of your own money and issue a writ that allows me to know who and where you are! And I will not be silenced by threats of possible legal reprisals!

In any event a jury of peers will tell you I have broken no law by expressing a belief on a rolling, sometimes robust, online opinion poll.

It has never ever been an offence in Australia to vent an opinion! Moreover, the denial by activists, with an antinuclear idiotic ideological imperative, of affordable clean safe energy is all the keeps the poor and downtrodden poor and downtrodden!

Any reasonable man who can read, will know for sure and certain you are an avowed antinuclear activist, hiding behind a pseudonym, determined to stall any nuclear development, but particularly thorium! For as long as our thicker than a plank of wood pollies allow it.

Untried, unproven it is not! Disallowed, disendorsed it is. At one time the combustion engine was theoretical, ditto trains, planes, horseless carriages and a man walking on the moon!

Left to you and your ilk, mankind would still be living caves and running his food down with a stone tied to a stick!

How does it feel to be on the receiving end of someone's endless scorn?

Should make a fascinating change from the mindless gibberish you fling at me and then go ape over the wording of a eulogy!

So sue me, what are you waiting for? Official permission from the Kremlin?
