Well – there you go! All of you folks who think “religion” should not be included in Parliament – HAVE TOTALLY MISSED THE POINT!
I am ‘religious about the Broncos’ – BUT I am certainly not religious when it comes to Christianity. Australia was based on the Christian missionaries who came to this country with the early boats, and they acted as ‘intercessors’ between the Aboriginals and the Navy and army soldiers. You all seem to forget – that WITHOUT Christianity – you WOULD NOT have schools, hospitals, charities such as all of those that we have today.
WHO do you think are saving – AND FEEDING the homeless today – Christian charities!!
AND WHERE DOES THE CHRISTIAN CHARITIES COME FROM – Our Creator – NOT SOME “big bang” or chance explosion that made the universe! EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU – “PRAY” that your family members are in heaven when they die! EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU pray that our soldiers are safe, that our children are safe, that we can get out of debt, that our children grow up to become amazing adults to provide you with healthy grandchildren.
SO – BE HONEST – and tell me that you “HAVE NOT” prayed to ‘someone’ for safety, help and recovery – when you can’t handle a bad situation yourself? IF – you said “never” – I call you a liar!!
Parliamentarians go to church at Christmas and Easter – WHY? Because they “down deep” believe that God will guide and save them – AND MAKE THEM LOOK GOOD TO THEIR “RELIGIOUS” constiuents!
We – you and me – need God now more than ever – so stop talking to Him – and He will turn His back on you – when you are on your knees asking for help, guidance, money, surgery and gratitude.
BUT – turn your backs on Him – and His response will be – “I never knew you!!”
