It's encouraging that both sides of politics
are willing to work together on the religious discrimination bill proposed by the Prime Minister. There's no question that our laws should ensure that all people are protected from discrimination. Hopefully the government will engage directly with all community groups. They need to get the balance right. Because if this legislation is not crafted carefully it will hand a license to discriminate to religious organisations. That should be a grave concern. Posted by Foxy, Sunday, 7 July 2019 6:45:18 PM

Let me try and break it down to a few questions.
Does Freedom of Religion infer the right to advocate or commit unlawful, unethical or discriminatory acts based on the particular doctrine of that religious belief? And if not, does that then mean freedom of religion is restricted? Furthermore if a religion contains both malevolent and benevolent aspects should steps be taken to denounce those malevolent aspects? - Or do we just accept them as a part of that religion? - Now, before you respond; I want you to consider the 21st Century religion 'Equality'. Which means that whatever choice you make be mindful of this: - What you do for one, you must do for the other - For example you'd have to extend those rights to these kinds of religious believers: http://www.learnreligions.com/how-luciferians-differ-from-satanists-95678 Don't assume all religions are the same, or all good or even restricted to the Abrahamic ones.

Belly,
It is the height of hypocrisy to deny that there is a God and then demand days off work in his name. It's time that Australia joined some of the more enlightened countries of the world and abolished the weekend. Sunday is held as special because of its religious connotations and has no place in a secular society. By all means, let people have a couple of days off each week but stagger them throughout industry/business/service so that the country keeps working 7 days a week.

Is Mise,
What about the Republicans who celebrate the Queen's Birthday? What about the non-gamblers on Melbourne Cup Day? And so on. Posted by Foxy, Sunday, 7 July 2019 8:14:41 PM
