Don’t Vote for the Greens either!
The Greens Party are sickeningly sucking-up to the delusional infantile voters like all political parties who eventually prostitute themselves for a grasp at power & pensions.
I’ve been a member of the Uniting Church all my life, since its inception, and the Presbyterian Church before that.
I might feel obliged to not criticise that rather gauche and obvious to a 5-year-old “all my life” lie, as perhaps having resulted from a case of ‘nerves’ during her first interview.
(But subsequent attention to the protagonist’s bleatings do little to justify such hopeful tolerance.)
I’ve been in leadership roles in the Uniting Church. I’m a practising person of faith. I’m a member of the Greens and I’m a Senate candidate.

I guess that is to be expected from members of a socially caring party: that it will become infested with credulous arts-graduate hippies who have zero anchor on reality.
If only they did have what the Australian Christian Lobby’s MD Mr Wallace calls their “antagonism to faith“, I should vote for them in an instant, recognising that they base their policies upon reality!
The Greens’ four pillars are social justice, environmental sustainability, participatory democracy and peace and non-violence.
Fine. Although it does neglect ”reality”.
As a person of faith that sits totally perfectly for me with some of the core pillars of the Christian faith which are about holding God’s creation carefully, caring for those who are the most vulnerable and disadvantaged.
Utter fucking BULLSHIT!
Core tenets of “the Christian Faith” are: (in a vague order)
- Cannibalism
- Slavery
- Genital mutilation
- Criminal Homophobia
- Complete rejection of Family members
- MANDATORY Murder for the sin of wearing polyester/cotton
- Complete and utter subjection of women
- Murder of witches
- Thought Crimes
- Not boiling a kid in its mother’s milk
- Genocide for non-believers
- Overpopulation
That is just off the ‘top of my head’. I’m sure that even the most vague of those with two or more brain cells might add to the list of criminal or absurd behaviors that are utterly mandated by Christianity.
Ans yes, I am prepared to defend the above list with clear reasoning.
(A warning for potential combatants: you would do well to either be able to read, or have a scholar on tap who can read: Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek as well as English, both modern & late medieval.)

I don’t see why any atheist would vote for any other party other than The Secular Party of Australia (www.secular.org.au) or at least look at how they set their preferences (www.belowtheline.org.au). They direct preferences according to which party is most closely aligned with their atheist view. The Greens are 4th after Democrats (2nd) and Sex (3rd).

We always have been.
It is just that these days we are aware of it!
Democracy? Bah!
Plutocracy, more like it.

Well, at least we have an atheist pm! Albeit one that opposes gay marriage. I am new to this website, but I guess the pm’s utterance has already been well dissected.
