God bless you, Canary, and may God bless us all.

Seek not His help, but His blessing, so you are of the right mind and spirit to do His work on earth, helping those in need.

As for marriage boundaries, worry not, for no mundane authority can redefine marriage. What they all refer to in this hot debate is not marriage itself but 'legal marriage', a nonsensical artificial construct that carries no spiritual significance.

They have an office in the city where you come, pay a fee, say bla-bla-bla and they give you a certificate stating that you are "legally married", then you come again, pay another fee, say bla-bla-bla and they give you another certificate stating that now you are "legally divorced". All this silly discussion is just about whether or not homosexual couples (and other multiples, as suggested by this discussion) may also join in this stupid ritual, not about marriage itself.

Forget about parliament opening with the Lord's Prayer - it only opens by parroting the words of the Lord's Prayer. Replace the page in front of Mr/s. Speaker with a page from Shakespeare and they wouldn't tell the difference.

Come to think of that, why would you ask God to help a civil/secular institution such as Australia that is but an artificial human construct?

By all means, may God bless the people who reside on this great land, the continent of Australia (as well as all others), but may God give us the wisdom and spirit to lift the debilitating burden of secular authority which eclipses this land.

Canary, with so much god in your post, I don't know what to say. Can you explain why you refer to god as he and not she, or even it? Do you know something the rest of us don't.

"As if anyone cares what the lefty old duck thinks" Hasbeen, seems you do, otherwise why the diatribe.
