the legal right of a free people to freely live their faith, even in public;
mhaze,
I don't agree with the last three words !

Christianity taken to the extreme;

The Body of Christ - Belief in God's will.

Luenced by " Born in Zion,'' by Carol Balizet , this group denounces the '' seven systems '' of mainstream society which include education, government, banking and religion. But also, medicine, science and entertainment. In 2002, the pastor of The Body of Christ sect -Robidoux and his wife Karen E. Robidoux, were charged with murder along with her husband for starving their child. They said that they were waiting for God's sign to feed the baby. This pseudo-Christian cult believes in the power of faith healing.

Speaking of separation of church and state, Craig Kelly's Facebook page has been wiped. It was, apparently, the most popular of all political Facebook pages. Now eliminated because the fascists of the left didn't like what he was saying.

Book burners of the digital age. By a foreign company no less. But I suspect many will be just fine with that.

It didn't take long for you-know-who to twist Foxy's straight forward question into a rant against Christianity itself by coming up with an "extreme" example of behaviour that has nothing to do with Christianity. People claiming to be Christian are not necessarily entitled to do so. Nor are people who use any subject as a means of venting their dislike and fear of genuinely held faith - without addressing the instigator's reason for posting it - entitled to be taken seriously.

Good Morning Everyone,

I believe that people are entitled to their faith.
As long as that faith does not hurt anyone else.
And I'm talking about religious extremism and
fundamentalism.

The separation of church and state?

That's a complex issue. Our religious institutions
are already supported in part by the state. They don't
pay taxes. And we use the Bible in many of our
legal procedures. Then there's the question of
providing the same protections for faith as
exists for gender, sexual orientation, and other
categories.

Regarding Scott Morrison and his recent appearance at
the Christian Conference?

From a purely political point of view - there is
nothing to be gained from criticising a politician's
faith. In the case of Scott Morrison he was merely
expressing his guiding philosophy and personal
beliefs. He was not trying to ban abortion or wind
back on same sex marriage or anything
else.

If we indulge in religious bigotry - this creates more
room for bigotry and intolerance to thrive.

I agree with Shadow minister - as long as a politician's
faith does not interfere with their doing their job - it
should not be an obstacle to governance and integrity.

I agree Foxy, providing its not just conservative Judeo-Christian beliefs, that are acceptable, as in the case of Morrison. It should be a broad church that accepts beliefs from all quarters including Non-Christians. Far too often politicians have invoked the name of the Christian God to justify aggressive acts of war, for example a favourite of American Presidents when going to kill millions.

Of course ttbn with his double standards will not have a bar of Christian extremism, he counts it out immediately, but is happy to jump on the band wagon and condemn 2 billion Muslims for the actions of a small minority of extremists within their religion.
