Damn it ,I missed the Mardi Gra,but did anyone see gays dancing erotically in the Hijab,or mad Mullahs masticating in the streets?

Did they have the usual send up of Catholic nuns?How about paedophile clergy hiding behind the glitter imported from Vietnam.I bet they won't go there because it's too close to home and no they'll be too scared to send up the Muslim clergy.Could there be a touch of hypocracy in their idealistic world that only lampoons safe and easy targets?

I'll have to watch the news tonight with bated breath,after the soccer of course.You won't have to stay up all night to see Dwight in flight.If the Central Coast pull this one off,there'll be a welling of respect in the eye of many a Sydneyite like myself for such an upset,since we in the land of OZ love an underdog.

But un the meanwhile,go Sydney FC!

Jamila and the usual Jihadist posters didn't need to intervene in this thread because they have achieved their GOAL:

Muslims want us to talk about Sharia Law, research it, discuss it, massage it into our brains, and like the ‘Scouts’ of Australia start to warm up to it...

Muslims are relentless – they will chip away at our society UNTIL they institute their satanic religion on our continent. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

It is illogical to compare Islam with Christianity. As much as muslims would like us to believe it is just another “religion” – the two are absolutely irreconcilable at ANY level.

It is similarly illogical to argue with pagans about spiritual and moral views.

There is a systemic misunderstanding about Christianity and its role (or non-role) in secular states, especially in politics. We have seen the same arguments fired at Christians in many other debates on OLO.

Christianity is NOT a legal code or set of rules.

Moral standard is often misinterpreted by misguided people as EVIL against Freedom. E.g. homosexuality, abortion, same sex marriage, adultery, etc…

Pagans find it intolerable to accept "Black and White" rulings and “Absolutes”. They much prefer that everything be a more embracing “Shades of Grey”...

They chant: TRUTH is whatever is true to each individual...as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else...(yeah right RObert)

Tolerance is NOT a Christian term.

God does not tolerate evil but He allows it to exist by His Grace (until judgement day of course), His Love of all people (good and evil), and His Patience is infinite.

Christianity is about Freedom from religious bondage and laws. We are guided by the Holy Spirit in all our dealings.

Jesus' teachings could be condensed into one word: LOVE.

True Love (Agape) cannot co-exist with religion.

Why can't "true love" and religion be married? I do not understand. Can you clarify please?

Thanks

Hey, you have got a point there, RObert.

Looks like we had better get on because we are both going to Hell together. And it looks like David Boaz and Coach are a twosome for heaven. Maybe I should embrace Cristianity after all so I can go with David and Coach and get away from the Muslims when I die? But knowing Bronwyn and Scout, they will probably stuff heaven up by telling God He is a racist for not allowing Muslims to come into the Christian heaven too.

ROBERT, "Muslims in Spain".... yes.. all that enlightenment led to one of the most vicious, debauched, brutal, greedy slash and burn campaigns of outrageous human cruelty of all time, when they Attacked FRANCE.

REDNECK, maybe rough around the edges, but I pray that he like all here, will one day, sooner or later, come to know Christ as loving Lord and Merciful Savior. Mike Peel was a huge Bikie who lived a very hard life, and one day on a beach in California, God met with him, and changed his life. He spent years here in Australia with Truth and Liberation and Gods Squad bike club. The same can happen for Redneck and others.

DISPHORICMANIAC your post reminds me of the Muslims in Hamtramck Michigan, who could not understand why the non Muslims were outraged at the thought of being yelled at with "There is no God but Allah, and Mohammed is his prophet" 5 times a day by the loudspeaker at the mosque. "Whyyyy do they hate us so much"? they cried.. (The Muslims) well duh ! How would you like us to blast your eardrums with 'I am the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the father but by me" 5 times a day at a few hundred watts ?

The very fact that you don't 'get' why we are so hostile to Sharia and Islam is evidence about just how blind you are. You simply don't see how it impacts others.

FIDA.. very well said mate :)

BURNING WITCHES. context..context..context. In the social/spiritual theocratic institution of Israel, the idea of witchcraft was not only illegal, they KNEW it was and they KNEW the penalty. We do not live under Moscaic law.....

Romans8
"through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. 3For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature,[b] God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering"

I finally said something wrong. Redneck's a pagan. My apologies.

Honestly, I want you to show me where I'm wrong-but so far that's the only time.

Mind you redneck is still calling me Moslem after I've told him many times I'm not. Not very quick on the uptake.

The Renaissance stretched from the 13th-16th Century, with the fall of Muslim Spain and the destruction of their libraries in 1492 marking the end of Muslim scientific flowering. You just sheered 300 years off by taking the earliest date.

But my point, apart from acknowledging a debt of gratitude to nonchristian and nonwestern societies for making possible the technology we have today, was the most technologically advanced have never stayed that way-it won't stay with the US. That's history. Who will be next? China perhaps?

Silly, barbarous and cruel? If you advocate attacking them in their own countries and torturing them, locking them up without charge or trial you are also silly, barbarous and cruel, redneck.

GZTan says, liar, futile, illogical, rant, rubbish, pointless, etc. and then says nothing to back up this as though simply insulting me is rational debate. Nothing intelligent to answer here nor in your post on 4187.

BD-I didn't mention that bit where young widows were instructed to marry because I didn't believe my eyes and thought I may have misunderstood it. Imagine telling widows they are wanton and break their pledge if they remarry and then tell them to remarry. What utter hypocrisy and how cruel. As though widows don't have enough grief without being typecast as wanton and gossipers. Paul gave this as the **reason** they weren't to be supported.

Paul could have said-I'm sorry we can't afford to support all widows and we hope the unfortunate young widows find solace in remarrying. But the fascinating thing it reveals BD is how you will turn yourself inside out trying to justify the unjustifiable.
