Exactly. I thought that was part of the ‘Good News’. The more they are persecuted, the closer to the big day when the prodigal returns!
The early guys didn’t whinge like this lot, they just got on with being martyred, like any self-respecting religious fanatic.
What do they want? Respect for being Dickheads, charlatans and bigoted arseholes.
I say bring on the Rapture and get these over-privileged deviants out of the way!
This is sad news indeed when religious politicians push their particular religion’s agenda. These politicians only represent their own groups at the expense of other groups.

Shocking...but not surprising that he is trying to press ahead with his ultra right religious agenda. I hope it doesn’t receive enough votes to pass into law...but fear it may. Australians need to vote him out, just as Americans need to vote out Trump. What is more worrying is that it seems to be a global trend for people to be putting these “throwback” leaders into office.

@linxminx It may have a bearing...but without a study it would just be guesswork.
@linxminx I tend to think that besides the ' extremist Islamic Terrorism' problem the waning of religions such as Christianity world-wide also has a big part in this 'push' as well.
An analogy here might be, "a wounded/trapped animal WILL fight tooth and claw to survive, " and Christianity, imo, is an 'animal,' wounded by its wrong doings past and present and fighting tooth and claw to survive in the face of those wrong doings and the realizations that the world has woken from its duped slumber at last.
@Triphid Perhaps.
@Marionville I'd tend say that it may be MORE than just a "Perhaps" but that is merely my opinion.
