There are at least a few alternatives that could be an answer to the question of Christians in the parliment. It's possible that there are more Christians voting them in then are recognized in the seemingly secular Australia. Another alternative is that more people regardless of religion agree with their stances on issues. Possibly that the "bible bashers" have a more stable view that is agreed with then the nonreligous who might be voted for.

A few other options would be outside the voting choice, but might be involved in how one becomes a candidate to be voted for. Since that's outside my knowledge base, I won't comment outside of saying there are other factors out there then our all's distaste for religion.

*last sentence should have read "your all's distaste for religion."

This bitch-session article is hilarious.

Mark appears to wander through the world wit eyes wide shut.

A couple of obviously major points he missed. One big one is the election of Donald Trump. Generally attributed to those with a religious bent. Without the Bible Bashers, it would be a US governed by Hillary Clinton and her Democrats.

And that was the tone of resentment throughout the article. Damn those Bible Bashing deplorables, if not for them, we would be living under a new Australian flag of rainbow.

Conveniently, the non-religious Buddhists weren't mentioned either. Also responsible for mass slaughter of Muslims in Burma. Buddhism is the seculists claytons religion, while they avoid and rag established religions of the theists. So atheists are really quite hypocritical when crying over the religion of others, aren't they Mark?

There is more, but that's enough counter to this nasty small-minded ranting article.

I never realised we had so many fools in this nation. The god deniers blind to their own Creator and then pretending they somehow hold superior morals. The amazing thing is that God has been so merciful to a totally perverted generation that kills the unborn, promotes perversion and celebrates porn. You really should take a good look at yourself bucko. On top of that they pull the secular fantasy and bang on about the man made gw myth. You would think at a time like this a little self reflection but instead push their god and people hating dogma and demonise anyone telling the truth and exposing the shallowness of their failed ideology. If we were 'over run by bible bashers' we would be much better off than the god deniers filling our kids minds with their perverted dogmas.

ttbn,
As Homo sapiens is but another animal species your comment is senseless.

Think on this one Mark.
How beautifully poignant to seequantas suddenly on their knees. Not so cocky now Allan Joyce are we!

Maybe we could gather up some rainbow flags while he's on his knees, and stuff them where they fit best. After all, he doesn't seem to mind putting in the boot when people disagree with him and his perversions.

Well spoken runner!
