I am willing to extend some benefit of the doubt to the batting side until after the first innings are complete. But it is a little embarrassing.

One of us, one of us...

[MOD] Folks, Once again, this thread is for rants only. It is not for debate about the merits or otherwise about others posters' rants. Thanks. [/MOD]

Totally agreed on all points.

On a day when the Essential Poll revealed that only 38% supported "religious freedom" legislation, Morrison tells a Hillsong conference that 'Our nation needs more prayer, more worship. That's how things are overcome.' Bollocks. Our nation needs a PM that makes decisions based on evidence, facts and logic.

Because he's been back in the news today, I offer the following joke. A car mounted the kerb outside Fred Nile's house today. He ran outside and threw a bucket of water on it.

Much like it has been for gay people, atheists, and anyone else who was not Christian for hundreds of years.

I just saw one comment on other site that was talking about Albanese discussing proposed religious freedom laws with Morrison as follows: "No point trying to talk to the Godless Communists led by that Itie posing as a clean, civilised white man. His family is probably part of the mafia in this country, with their bootleg liquor and their fancy shoes. If the Godless Communists ever got back in we’d be taxed 90%." I have no illusions about "religious freedom" advocates in Australia. It's just an excuse for racism.

To protect their privileged position to be bigots.

I agree. To make a "proof" for god logical you have to define "god" in terms that can be supported by evidence. Good luck getting any believer to do that.

Or you could just explain it.

He was determined to have repeatedly breached these clauses of the code of conduct: ARU Code of Conduct, Part 2, Clause 1.3: "Treat everyone equally, fairly and with dignity regardless of gender or gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity, cultural or religious background, age or disability. Any form of bullying, harassment or discrimination has no place in Rugby." Clause 1.7: "Use Social Media appropriately. By all means share your positive experiences of Rugby but do not use Social Media as a means to breach any of the expectations and requirements of you as a player contained in this Code or in any Union, club or competition rules and regulations." Those repeated breaches were determined to amount to a breach of contract.

Atheism & agnosticism are not mutually exclusive. Theism = Belief Atheism = Without Belief Gnosis = Knowledge Agnosis = Without Knowledge It is possible to be: 1. Agnostic atheist - concedes that one does not know if there is a god, but not believing that there is. (My position). 2. Agnostic theist - concedes that one does not know there is a god, but believes there is. 3. Gnostic atheist - claims to know there is no god and does not believe there is. 4. Gnostic theist - claims to know god exists and believes it exists. Personally, I think anyone who claims to come from positions 3 and 4 are not being intellectually honest.

Seriously? Do you think that people should be tortured forever for not believing this crap?

I think if you declare that a class of humans deserves to be tortured for eternity the only sensible conclusion is that you hate that class of humans.
