AC,

Your quip that you “can do it again” doesn’t change the fact that you don’t believe in Hell, and are being hypocritical by using a term in the lexicon of a religion you quite clearly despise.

“What does it matter what I believe”, you say. How odd. Doesn’t what you believe matter? If it doesn’t, why are you regularly giving us the benefit of your beliefs? Why do you continue posting if you doubt what you believe?

As for what you think “they” believe, I am a Christian, and I don’t believe in Hell, and quite a few other things you like to stereotype Christians with. As I said recently, the biggest critics of Judaism are the people who know the least about the religion. The same applies to Christianity.

I am not “making a fuss”: nor did I do so, as you incorrectly assume, when a rugby player said homosexuals belong in Hell. He believes in Hell, you don’t. I don’t.

It’s a pity that you set out to deliberately offend people as you have told me. Offence is taken, not given; and it’s highly unlikely that the targets of your wrath would know - or care - that you were deliberately offensive towards them. If they did, they would probably forgive you

mhaze, a little bit of humour at your expense goes a long way in these troubled times. nothing like a crusty old conservative.

What you are not accounting for is last year in Victoria, the vaccination rate was 0% first dose, and 0% second dose. Right now in NSW the vaccination rate is 50% first dose and 30% second dose, add to that the learning experience for managing Covid both medically and with health orders it easy to see why NSW would have a lower death ratio. Of course every death in NSW is down to the incomperdence of Liberal governments.

"Of course every death in NSW is down to the incomperdence of Liberal governments."

What were the 800 plus deaths down to in Labor Victoria, I wonder.

That's easy ttbn, the virus got out of quanentean in Melbourne, a Morrison responsibility, it then entered private aged care, another Morrison responsibility, over 800 dead, down to the incompetent Morrison government. Just as in NSW where the incompetent Liberals there have combined to kill dozens. Anything else you want to know ttbn? Remember the "gold standard" Morrison claimed was the Berejiklian government when it came to virus protection, that gold has well and truly rusted by now.

AC- Your position on this item is different than what I expected but there you go. Myself I'm torn as I can see that the issue is politicized and so it seems that some no longer trust the government or bureaucrats or police- this seems to be the basis of the actions of some.

Politicians have made errors in the handling of this 'incident' and have perhaps shown that they can't be 'trusted'.

Churches as other organizations do rely on funding to survive- those people that support religion should make an extra effort to ensure their economic capacity in these times- donate to their local church.

I imagine that being away from church in stressful times for the faithful is worse than death perhaps. Not sure what the communist faithful do in such times.
