    It is right to be concerned about Islam. Unfortunately, the extremists are the ones who are actually living the teachings of their faith which condones violence in the cause of Islam.
    Whoops. Sorry I confused the two traditions. As I said, we aren't religious in our house but I should've researched better.

    If that is an important issue. then should we expect Bendigo to have a higher than usual birth rate?

    Legend has it that a small town on the North Coast rail line had an unusually high birth rate back in the 50's.

    The explanation was supposed to be that people were woken by the North Coast Mail Train passing through in the early hours of the morning and there was really only one way to occupy the time between then and sunrise.

    Yeah I caught up with that one later on. He did believe in an almighty being but not a Christian god. My bad.

    seems to be the issue with the gold coast application and a few others

    local catholic churches can't ring bells for the angelus why should it be permitted at other religious bildings for a call to prayer?

    the rules should be consistent.

    Christendom is long gone.

    Hitler may have said be had a Christian faith but it was only taken on in service of his nationalist ideas.
    Anyone can say they are a Christian but if their actions are diametrically opposed to the teaching of Christ... Well, it easy to join the dots.
    One thing I cannot understand is someone professing a faith in a Jewish man, Jewish messiah and God then having the most extreme antisemitism.

    Slightly weird...
    I'll name 2 to start the ball rolling.
    Vatican City, smallest country in the world. The U.K, now the head of the country is also the head of their branch of Christianity.
    Now you could say usa has "in god we trust" as a sign of their beliefs.
    Then you have south America.

    According to the ABS Australia is 61.1% Christian. I'd call that a predominantly Christian country 2071.0 - Reflecting a Nation: Stories from the 2011 Census, 2012–2013

    that is another debate altogether imho


    I agree 100% with what you say Dave To many people in this country are not thinking ahead what our grand kids and their kids are going to have to live with If they are NOT stopped soon their will be executing our people here on our soil because of our beliefs and customs Its only a matter of time .
    And while I am one the soap box I feel that any one that is band from re-entering this country for fighting overseas all their family should be deported also as the family left here will only grow up with hate towards us for taking away the father figure.
    I have no sympathy what so ever for a race that has no feelings for human life.
