I think that Justin is pretty fair to Mr Abbott. He often refers to his Catholocism, and is very strong on some of the teachings of his church. Justin is just making clear how selective Mr Abbott is being, not on biblical teaching as such, but on church teaching. Mr Abbott may have been too clever by half to refer to a single Christian doctrine - he would have to say that about birth control too. The Christian churches in Australia are regularly making statements, as they are in the USA and Europe (including the Pentecostal churches not directly associated with the national church bodies) and these should be taken seriously as Justin suggests. Mr Abbott would be clearly aware of the power of his statement and would, or should, know that he is being careless with the "whole" truth.

Tony Abbott is a bloke who suffers from "small man syndrome" he is paranoid about his religion, we don't need politicians like this having a say in how our country is run, remember the seperation of powers.

Justin Whelan has sarcastically suggested Tony Abbott do a refresher course in Christian ethics at his old seminary. He could do with a refresher course himself at his old Sunday School where he first learned the Ten Commandments, the fifth being Thou Shalt Not Kill. His Uniting Church has seen fit to put this particular law of God on trial in a human court when it "debated" abortion at its Assembly several years ago. The Uniting Church's weak position on abortion and it's indifference to the 100,000 deaths cased by abortion every year in Australia is one of the great scandals ofChristianity.Typically Justin Whelan refers to Rerum Novarum
(wonder if he has ever read it?) whose author would disagree vehemently with the Uniting Church's record on the sanctity of life ethic.It's only Rerum Novarum that commentators like Justin Whelan ever speak of and so affectedly!It does have a good ring to it the words Rerum Novarum! They never refer to Evangelium Vitae! Come on Justin, have you ever even read it? Christ didn't only come to comfort the afflicted Justin. He also came to afflict the comfortable! Lets hear it from you Justin! How do you and the Uniting Church stand on abortion, the slavery issue of our times?

Big Ears is used to talking to Noddy. Mr Plod needs to do something about him before he ascends the throne in the clouds.

Abbott and Costelloe. Jest a joke. Preaching a speciality. Keep religion where it belongs. Elswehere.

Lol RobbyH. That is coment was well deserved.

Some of you don't know what a naughty boy Mr Abbott was, or maybe, still is.

Something disturbing I noticed a few times when I was a guest lecturer at the College of Fine Arts, was this creep called Tony Abbot used to lurk around the lecture halls looking for unsuspecting female art students. Some must have fell for his charms and ended up pregnant.

Its funny when someone questioned if he was Tony Abbot's son, poor old Cassonova Abbot had to get his little black book out, volume 3, to see which shags could possibly cause a pregnancy.

I wonder how many children of artists have big ears, little man syndrome, and prattish ways.

Yeah, there was no Christian authority on any of this either. For a man that bashes his bible so much, for a man who fathered, God knows how many "love children" when he smoked dope at the Art College. For a man who had no sense of morals in his own life? He talks the talk, but has no control over his sexual escapades at all.

The role model for all Catholics? I bet the confessionals take a long time when Abbot arrives. The poor old Priest would need the reserve valium before the creature started. Then he went into politics. As what? An advocate for moral values?

I doubt Kevin Rudd knew what dope looked like. He was just a farm boy.

well now, it is worse than that and "the DNA kid" Abbott may also be responsible for getting Telstra in the family way. Read all about it at
