114 comments and 10 days. A lot of yap about prayer for a country supposed to be in post-Christian mode.

Dear ttbn,

What makes you think Australia is in post-Christian mode? Christian holidays are also national holidays. Holidays of other religions are not officially recognised. God is mentioned in the Australian Constitution. As Josephus pointed out, that makes it a religious document. I think the mention should be eliminated as the Constitution should be for all Australians.

6% of Australians are regular church attendees while about 3% are aboriginal.

"Welcome to country" has less standing than the Lord's prayer. And this is coming from an atheist.

Dear ttbn,

.

As Isaac Asimov used to say : "People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do".

.

If attending church is the criteria for prayers before meetings, then Buddhist, Hindus and Muslims would win hands down, its those Christian with their lack of attendance on Sundays that are dragging the team down.

Paul,

Then you would be happy to cancel the welcome to country whine?
