It's not your viewpoint that is at issue *Runner,* you can believe what you like, but rather the fact that you seek to inflict it on others.

If the catholics don't wish to practice homosexuality that is one thing, but to want to prohibit others who do is another matter entirely.

As you appear to fail to understand the difference between belief and knowledge, so too I suspect you fail to understand the difference as above.

To me, the fact that you of your own word support a party who abuse children says it all. By my interpretation, and here we will perhaps have to agree to disagree, you are no Christian and know nothing of it, other than the misguided conceptions echoing around in your own head.

Dreamon

Reading the deceit in your posts would cause me to be real worried if I had your approval. I doubt whether you could lie straight in bed.

Runner as you know I do not believe,in any God.
But see your point here, first what is wrong about good Friday?
What is so wrong that some ridicule to the very edge of decency your right to think as you want.
Now I have shocked you!
But have a good Easter and ask your self why the need to insult your belief?
I question it but hope not insult.

If we are to accept the possibility that the limited information regarding the life of *Jesus of Nazareth* has some basis in fact, ie from the writings of Josephus, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Mary and Judas, then one thing to me to be celebrated is the life of an individual, delusional or otherwise, who made a vehement and vocal stand against the abhorrent practices of his day, notwithstanding that he was perhaps well aware of the potential consequences of doing so. .. Crucifixion was commonly practised by the Roman military at that time, if we are to believe the interpretations of the available evidence conveyed to us by the historians and archaeologists, amongst others.

What is not to be celebrated in my view is how the "greatness" of such individuals, and there are a few of them historically, is then transformed into a blind faith, political control mechanism and used to oppress and suppress the masses and exterminate those daring and or foolish enough to oppose them.

" ... Reading the deceit in your posts would cause me to be real worried if I had your approval. I doubt whether you could lie straight in bed. ... "

If you seek a response you will need to clarify what exactly it is that you consider in my writing to be "deceitful." I usually try to make my thoughts quite plain, and am not overly one to run around in the shadows.

Dreamon you accuse me
'the fact that you of your own word support a party who abuse children says it all.'

which party might this be dreamon?

you also accuse me of prohibitting homosexuality. Anymore lies you would like to sprout?

It's commonly accepted now *Runner* that the activities of both the LNP and ALP and its treatment of the child Asylum Seekers constitutes child abuse, as one example, as has now been broadcast more than once on the mainstream media. As does their treatment of the Indonesian children employed in the facilitation of the Asylum Seekers reaching a country which is a signatory to the relevant convention.

"Pulang! (Poolung - go home, home, home, E.T. phone home!)"

I think that there should be another burning.

..

Come now *Runner,* you have made your views regarding homosexuality quite plain. At least have the courage of your convictions. Do you really need me to dig some of them up and re quote them to you? As you have also made your views opposing their individual rights to have their unions sanctified.

In short, the consequential result of your wish to impose your beliefs on this group of people in the first instance turns on discrimination and a denigration of their *Human Rights*
