Dear Foxy,

You claim that the government will have no obligation to act on the advice it is given, so why do you believe that it will make any difference?

"You are a Catholic though aren't you?"

Simple curiosity Foxy. I don't have any interest in convincing anybody of anything, but I am interested in why people hold there opinions, and I do like to consider why I think as I do. As I said, I don't necessarily think people good or bad for the opinions they hold.

Hi Foxy,

Recently in discussion, a chap who comes to the Christian fellowship that I sometimes attend on a Wednesday night, I believe he is also a member of a conservative splinter group within the Anglican Church. He asked me how I was going to vote in the up coming referendum, without explanation I said; "I intend to vote yes", he replied; "You do realise aboriginals get too much already!", I just answered; "do they, that's your opinion", and left it at that, not wishing to go into his reasons.

I see Foxy has posted some obscure teaching she claims as Bible scholarship. That neither reflects the orthodox eschatological scholarship teaching of Judaism, Islam, or Christianity. It is part of the Uniting Church theology who have several lesbian teachers in pulpits in an attempt to be relative to current social atheistic norms.

Dear Fester,

The act of judging someone personally, derogatorily,
and unfairly, is not a good thing.

That's why it is important to have an informed opinion
and deal with facts

Dear Josephus,

The Bible teaches that "God is love."

"God did not send his Son into the world to condemn
the world - but to save the world."

Your being judgemental is fueled by self-righteousness,
the misguided inner motivation to make your own life look
better by comparing it to the lives of others.

You too will be judged. So be careful.

Foxy, so you want to abolish courts because they judge on religious based opinions. According to your opinion sexual love is Biblical Love, so pedophiles must not be judged because they show sexual love toward children. You have no Moral standards because you cannot judge in your opinion. If Muslim men want to marry a nine-year-old girl, we should not judge or condemn pedophiles because they love. If you want to sleep around with multiple one-night stands, we should not exclude them as a follower of Christ.

To the woman who had had five previous lovers, he said, "go and sin no more". Did he have a right to condemn her previous life?

Biblical Love is agapae [ sacrificial care and giving] not philio or erotica [sexual or marriage].
