Ask of Aussie Sceptics.

Not this little black duck.

Long may the distrust continue to grow.

This Australian has never trusted any religious leader ever since he came to his senses decades ago.

We tend not to, but unfortunately they're like rats in that they get in anywhere and stink the place up. Our politics, until recently, is not concerned with religion or morality in that we have had a female atheist who was living unmarried with her partner during her term and other politicians who don't even pay lip service to religion. These are not voting issues for us although after our current f##kwit they may become so.

Thankfully most of us don't have to. I don't trust religions, period. I think the scandals with organised religions have taken their toll on trust. Many people maintain this vague kind if belief in God and religion and spiritual stuff, but in my view they are just Pascal's Wagering, though they don't know it. When push comes to shove, religion doesn't guide their thinking or actions.
