How can the like of Abbott, Andrews and Howard be Christians when they are out and out right wing Conservatives it is just not compatible while they were playing the racist card and carrying out Hanson prejudices and bigotry. Mr People Skills Abbott is still making one liners that puts more egg on his face each time he opens his mouth.

Abbott, Andrews and Howard are Christians. Christianity has a tradition of hatred, intolerance and violence as expressed in the Crusades, the Inquisition, witch-burning and the Holocaust. Compared to those expressions of Christianity Abbott, Andrews and Howard are mild.

All Religious Demoninations have regrets on their past such unchristian evil behaviour occurred. The Pope fraternised with Hitler while Jews were being marched to the gas chambers. Not one religioun can say they have done any good for mankind. The German Ideology is far greater spreading the word of compassion than any bible or Koran.

I suspect your own bigotry is being revealed.

It is a simple matter to run off at the mouth about those who have been elected to public office when you, yourself obviously lack both the persuasive skills and election potential of a cockroach .
Now if you want to make a comment which constructively criticizes the recent Liberal government, I suggest you make it and I will happy debate it.

If you prefer to spew the moronic venom commonly associated with a retarded dingbat, feel free to continue and I will be happy to regard you with the same dispassion and contempt as you choose to use against your betters.

Dear Bronco,

We differ on definitions. One can define Christian behavior as that behavior exhibited by Christians. The Crusades, Inquisition and Holocaust are examples of Christian behavior since Christians did those deeds. It is a copout to call them unchristian. Evil acts are of course not limited to Christians, but it is a denial of responsibility by Christians to label an act called for by Christian authorities and carried out by Christians unchristian. It is implicitly equating Christian with good.

Jesus said, "By their deeds shall thee know them."

No religion or ideology exists solely as an abstraction. They are defined in large part by what their adherents do.

Don't you know, Bronco, it is not unusual for Christianity to have periods of change.

Love your Enemy - quoth the young Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount, also backed by Blessed are the Meek and Blessed are those that Maughn.

Also the Roman emperor Constantine forgave the Christians their meekness giving them command of the whole universe as well as allowing them to gird their loins to take up the sword and conquer other countries, something the early Jesus objected to.

Last year we received the latest change from our former Anglican friends here in Mandurah who in trance-like postures have been receiving spiritual messages backing the American ultra-right-wing Pento-Fundies as well as fully supporting the Jews against the Arabs.

Looks like Socrates' statement about Out with the Gods and in with the Good is becoming so much commonsense.
