You cant be serious here?? Murdoch rags have nosedived hard right and towards the gutter. 


Murdoch rags have always been hard right. the smh was a center/right paper as far as i could tell, but almost overnight it has lurched into left territory....it runs all the stories you social engineering wack jobs love.

Priests without hard-ons. There's some social engineering I'd love to see. Offended? Put your offence to better use - such as understanding minorities, discrimination, etc.  Conservatives have been engaged in social engineering since the year dot. Understand that and you're one step along the way to getting some balance. How do the old teachings go again? Do unto others...  Walk a mile...

Cabo's traded all that in for some cheap tribalism. And to kneel at the altar of the Doc. A pretty sad spectacle, really.

Correct. Clap

STALIN=  Murdered an estimated 60 million, including ordering the shooting of 100,000 Priests.

POL POT = Murdered an estimated 2.5 million people

ZEDONG = Murdered an estimated 60 milllion people

MUSSOLINI = Did such things as invade Ethiopia, even bombing Red Cross buildings. His widow strongly stated he didnt believe in God.

JEFFREY DAHMER =an infamous serial killer and atheist sentenced to 900 years in prison, said “if a person doesn’t think that there is a God to be accountable to, then what’s the point of trying to modify your behavior to keep it within acceptable ranges?”. 

The list goes on.

If you were to compare ISIS, to the over 100 million that leading atheists have murdered, well ISIS have a heck of a lot of catching up to do, illegally murdering people, hijacking the peaceful Muslims that dont preach hate.

The Atheist Atrocities Fallacy: Micheal A Sherlock

 [extract only]
Religious apologists, particularly those of the Christian variety, are big fans of what I have dubbed, the atheist atrocities fallacy. Christians commonly employ this fallacy to shield their egos from the harsh reality of the brutality of their own religion, by utilizing a most absurd form of the tu quoque (“you too”) fallacy, mingled with numerous other logical fallacies and historical inaccuracies.  Despite the fact that the atheist atrocities fallacy has already been thoroughly exposed by Hitchens and other great thinkers, it continues to circulate amongst the desperate believers of a religion in its death throes.  Should an atheist present a believer with the crimes committed by the Holy See of the Inquisition(s), the Crusaders and other faith-wielding misanthropes, they will often hear the reply; “Well, what about Stalin, Pol Pot and Hitler? They were atheists, and they killed millions!”

Given the obstinate nature of religious faith and the wilful ignorance it cultivates in the mind of the believer, I am quite certain that this article will not be the final nail in this rancid and rotting coffin.  Having said this, I do hope it will contribute to the arsenal required by those who value reason, facts and evidence, in their struggle against the fallacies perpetually flaunted by those who do not value the truth above their own egocentric delusions, delusions inspired by an unquenchable thirst for security, no matter how frighteningly false its foundation.

"Theory" I can deal with. PT stated it like it's an accepted thing. It's full of false premises, deflections etc.

I've never been one who thought more or less of a person based upon their religion - in fact, one of the people whom I have the most respect for on this planet, is a Muslim "revert" ... however, I must say, based upon what I now know about the alleged "atheists" in TBV ... I'm going to decline the offer to join ... my rationale is simple - I really don’t want to belong to any club that will accept me as a memberWink

Christians Rule OK!Thumbs Up

No, he is just an associate member of the TBV God-Squad. They will have anyone who agrees with them....until they don't.

Imam Tawhidi

He warns we're facing an infestation of radical clerics, and he's called for Islamic schools to be shut down. But Mohammed Tawhidi has a mysterious history that sits awkwardly alongside his new image as reformer-in-chief of Islam in Australia.

This is the guy that the ABC backs, not that other imposter! ... the Grand Mufti - who jokes about Jihad, one week after fatal Islamic Attacks in Melbourne and London (to name a few) ... who has lived in Australia for 20 years, but refused to learn to speak English - why bother when the plan Grand Plan is an Islamic State within Australia ... ooops, who said that!!!

Best TV in OZ, wonderful investigative programme like 4 Corners, political   Insiders, science  Catalyst, discussion Q + A, expose  Media Watch, etc etc. And that is not even mentioning Channels 22 _ 24 . Also great drama shows, many from Britain. What would we do without the ABC ?
