People of faith deserve honesty, and part of that is. That homosexuallity is not something folk choose but part of proven genetic variation!

Look up, Alan Sanders and team of world leading geneticists.

One just can't continue discriminating against SSM! Particularly when under don't ask don't tell, these same people were already employed in many religious institutions!

If J.C. walked among us today with his reported gentle disposition Relatively, very mature, unmarried and with a personal predelition for exclusive male company!

Many of the alleged offended religious organisations would have refused to employ him, but particularly as a religious teacher on the grounds they assumed he just had to be gay!

We've had the demanded plebiscite/postal survey, the people have spoken and far too loudly for our representatives to ignore and this matter has been resolved!

No further discussion is needed and nobody in their right electoral mind is ever going to allow abysmally ignorant, misplaced discrimination, on the basis of natural God given gender differentiation to occur!

So Greg, get over yourself and your patent, displayed for all to see, bigotry and as a member or a powerful political party? Do something actually useful and get your fellow members to annunciate a logical rational reason why, for peaceful purpose only, nuclear power is verboten?

At least then you could actually walk in the masters shoes and stop trying to discriminate against a small cohort of his creations, created like his (different) Son, in his own image!

Given the poverty reduction promise of non privatised or cooperative enterprise, thorium nuclear power and equally impressive deionization dialysis desalination; that costs quarter of current desal and produces 90% potable water! UNDERSTAND YET? ALLEGED CHRISTIAN!

Please spare me this righteous "we're under attack" and "deserve honesty and respect" claptrap from the religious classes.

Just exactly how much "honesty and respect" did religious leaders around the world extend to the children in their care? How much "honesty and respect" did religious leaders around the world extend to young, unmarried pregnant women or their new born babies? Answer: zero, zip, zilch, none.

And now that these crimes have been exposed to the world to see in all their gory detail, the religious classes are demanding that we show them "honesty and respect". Based on the evidence exposed thus far, I would trust a religious leader as far as I would trust a politician. That is about as far as I could fart against a Category 1 cyclone.

Not content with a totally secret Ruddock inquiry (none of the submissions need to be published, unlike just about every other government inquiry) religious leaders are demanding the right to be excluded from the democratically enshrined laws of the land. They think it is still the Middle Ages when churches and religious leaders dictated every aspect of life.

Well sunshine, it isn't the middle ages, so either play by the laws of the land, or migrate to some desert island where you can live by whatever laws you want to impose on those willing to submit to them. I'm not one of them.

Alan B and Aries54 well said. We don't need any more legislation.

Be very, very careful Aries54, farts that powerful are just honor bound to have great big lumps in them and projected at terminal velocity! Sh!t brick and fart a crowbar. And ouch!

We fired our guns and the British kept acoming so we fired once more and they began arunning down to the gulf of Mexico.
we fired our guns until the barrels melted down.
so, we powdered an alligator's backside; an when we touched the power off, the gator lost his mind.

Mummy! Sorry! I'll call the ambulance!

The usual squadron of ranters swarm overhead. God save us from idiots!

Thanks for warning everyone Greg Donnelly...no excuse for us not knowing and acting...It was the Speaker in the British House of Commons who, sizzling, said of SSM and the Christian Churches opposed to it "We are going to bloody well make sure they marry them (SS partners)in their Churches". The Greens need to be constantly exposed for the big bag of wind they are. After the Melbourne's Catholic St Vincent's hospital announced it would not be complying with The Greens backed assisted suicide legislation, viz they wouldn't be deliberately killing any of their patients, Victorian Greens MP Colleen Hartland called for St Vincent's ..founded for the poor of the surrounding Fitzroy...into which the affluent Green voters now like to live...and be cared for, not killed by , to be stripped of any funding. Where Premier Daniel Andrews' dying father had been receiving treatment ? How many hospitals have The Greens established over the centuries? How many Fitzroy soup kitchens or St Vinny's food vans have they run? Discriminate against Christians, wipe out Christianity and let the "progressive" Greens do it ..riding their bikes from their Heritage Listed inner city North Melbourne town houses. All the work would be conveniently done when they arrived ! And when they are not chilling out in their environmentally sensitive coastal holiday homes!! What a joke they are ! All this said.. as their Marxist mentor Mao once famously said "Swimming against the tide strengthens the muscles" Real Christians are always strengthened by persecution...Problem is, the distinguishing feature of The Greens is that they are totally ignorant of history...other than Puritanism.
