Oh Foxy

'like the
Christian murderers of abortion doctors, by what they
perceive to be righteousness, faithfully pursuing what
their religion tells them. '

when was the last time in Aussie a baby killer doctor was murdered by someone acting anti Christian. I would suggest that their are hundreds of thousands of unborn babies murdered in contrast to next to nil doctors (if any in Australia) who have been murdered in Australia. Why do 'progressives' ignore the norm while using the abnormal in an arguement.

You are not so forgetful as to not remember how the abortion debate was all about the poor 15 year old girl who was raped. Try a little honesty in you case!

I have personally met hundreds or thousands of Christians in Australia none of which has ever suggested murdering a murderer. Have you?

Dear runner,

The point being made was in reference to your earlier
comments and sweeping generalistions.

This was to simply illustrate to you - that when talking
about people's beliefs and actions and the reasons
behind them - we must be careful not to make assumptions
or sweeping statements about them.

I'm glad that you understand that now.

Dear runner,

I didn't know you were a progressive.
From your posts one would assume the opposite.
Especially when all you have to do is Google
the information that's out there - which
you ignore or deny.

Information such as - from their inception
the Fertility Control Clinics have been subjected to
religious anti-abortion demonstrations and threats,
requiring the presence of security guards at the
entrance. The case of - Steven Rogers, a security
guard at a clinic in Melbourne who was shot in the chest
and killed made the news in this country.
Then we have - Firebombing (Molotov Cocktails)
of Medical Clinics throughout our capital cities
- and of course there's always the
various religious groups who consistently stage daily protests
outside of these medical clinics. They've been doing it
for years.

And will continue to do it. Because their acts are "good."
And they've been brought up from the cradle to have
total and unquestioning faith. And Christianity, just as much
as Islam, teaches children that unquestioning faith is a
virtue. Therefore if someone announces that it is part
of their faith, the rest of society, whether of the same faith,
or another, or of none, is obliged, by ingrained custom, to
"respect" it with out question, respect it until the day
it manifests itself in a horrible massacre - or the death
of a security guard. Well, thankfully in this country -
we have a framework of laws - to which even "progressives"
have to abide by. Thank Goodness for that!

Runner, to me god is a mythical figure and, should you, or anyone for that matter decide to worship your god, that's your choice and I have no problem with you or anyone doing that BUT, when you try to ram your beliefs down my throat, that's when you cross the line.

As for abortion, when a child has it's first birthday, three months after being born, I will start to see it as murder. Until then, it's my view it's an expectant mothers right to do what she, and to some extent her partner, which to do.

Now while that's my view, I have no problem with and respecting you having another view, so long as you respect mine.

As for multiculturalism, there is no room in our peace loving nation for anyone who worships a god or faith that harbors the likes of beheadings, just like we have no rights going to their country and preaching Christianity.

Their country, their rules. If you don't like their rules, don't go there. It really is that simple.

Foxy reread before desperately trying to find a case to justify your dogma

' I would suggest that their are hundreds of thousands of unborn babies murdered in contrast to next to nil doctors (if any in Australia) who have been murdered in Australia. Why do 'progressives' ignore the norm while using the abnormal in an arguement.'

to come up with Peter James Knight who was described as a hermit is a desperate dishonest case to prove your point. Even you could do better than that.
