Hi Ttbn,

Speaking of boats, do you recall a Left conspiracy theorist, maybe a couple of weeks back, declaring that the Morrison government would allow (or provoke, or encourage) at least one boat of illegal immigrants to set out from Indonesia, to be caught before it got the the Australian coast ? i.e. a plot to discredit Labor policy ?

There's still a few hours before closing time, but I'd bravely venture that this Morrison plot hasn't eventuated.

But I suppose some Leftist child, after his or her netball practice, can find a Labor Party poster to deface in such a way that the Libs can be blamed. Should be an exciting day.

Cheers,

Joe

Maybe it sank, Joe.

Runner and cohort. I almost always disagree with everything you and your fellow homophobes say but would defend to the death your right to say it. While you, on the other hand, would probably aim a gun at my head if you could for voicing my science and evidence-based views?

If you and your fellow "Christians" are so hung up on religious freedom and freedom of expression? Why then are you and your's first in the vanguard opposing the very bill of rights which would guarantee both.

Yutustu.

In the future, I'll thank you not to mischievously reinterpret my words, meaning or motives.

.Nobody can follow God given God is everywhere present. Not in the constantly revised reworked and re-edited pages of ancient books. Which have a woeful history of repeated plagiarism and extensive embellishment so as to fit a popular or particular narrative!

If you would follow something? Why not the mighty irrefutable truth! And wherever you do that you will be following God!

Belief proves nothing whatsoever! Not for nothing is it writ large, know the truth and the truth will set you free!

Hi Alan,

As a non-believer, I support your stand, that Folau has the right to express his opinions, and his right to worship how he likes. He's not expecting to necessarily convert anybody, or to be angry and hurt if someone doesn't. Since I don't believe that there is a hell (or a heaven), I suppose it means that much less to me than to, say, Runner. But those rights are his too. And of course, yours :)

Cheers,

Joe

rache,

<<The religious in general and Christians in particular have an obsessive persecution and martyrdom complex. They have a heightened sense of paranoia as well as about their importance in the world.>>

Do you have your eyes closed and ears plugged? Who killed the worshippers in Christian churches in Sri Lanka recently? Were these Christians persecuted or is this only a 'nonsensical' story? See: http://www.vox.com/2019/4/21/18509739/sri-lanka-easter-sunday-attacks-terrorist

What about the persecution of Christians in the Middle East? Is that part of our 'martyrdom complex' or is it factual? See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Christians_by_ISIL. How about the slaughter of Christians in the Sudan, Nigeria and elsewhere in Africa? Is that part of this 'martyrdom complex'?

Jesus Christ reminded his followers:

“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. 21 They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me (John 15:18-20), http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+15%3A18-25&version=NIV

Alan B,

<<Runner and cohort. I almost always disagree with everything you and your fellow homophobes say but would defend to the death your right to say it. While you, on the other hand, would probably aim a gun at my head if you could for voicing my science and evidence-based views?>>

I voice my historical science views and you're not listening because of your truncated view of science: http://www.eurozine.com/can-history-be-a-science/

I present evidence-based views but you don't like or agree with the evidence. You seem to have a BIG blind spot here.

<<Why not the mighty irrefutable truth! And wherever you do that you will be following God!>>

Which truth? Your kind of truth?
