Just presented to me on f'buck, I don't know how or why:
Uhhhh! With such a shock result makes you wonder doesn’t it about the veracity of the result. We may as well be in a third world backwater where pretend democracy reigns supreme. Maybe we are entering a new age. The post-Trumperian Distopian!
Point out the conspiracy and start a movement? I see the "Russia interfered in the election of Trump conspiracy" is still rumbling away in the States. Given the number of governments worldwide that have been and still are being affected by American interference you can only conclude that they are a bunch of cry baby bullies.
There are no thinking Pentecostals.
Edit - Including valid link and this is legitimately the group Scott Morrison is pandering to.
And this is what Oz voted for? More fucking nuts than I thought!
@FrayedBear Yes, yes it is.
Well it seems that the fear mongering, hateful religious right is hard at work in Australia. They have totally divided the US and are working to divide Canada. Christianity was supposed to be a non-political movement. Let what is Caesar's go unto Caesar or something like that.
It's funny, when I hear the phrase, The Christian Right. I always say, "Is there any other kind?" As if there's the Christian Left or the Christian Centre. I believe at one time there was a left wing Catholic group called Liberation Theology. (My friend wrote a Thesis on them. No doubt they've all been shot by now.)
These Christos make me laugh. They prattle on about Jesus and the poor, all those dreary Hollywood movies with their Jesus sticking it to authority and the saviour of the poor and meek, but universally modern Christianity is the religion of right wing moralistic elitism and oligarchy and reactionary politics. Name the country, Australia included, it's always the same. I spit on them for their fragrant hypocrisy.
I think Liberation Theology was more prevalent in South America and in developing countries. A political movement to reach out to those being sidelined. A clever label to hook in the disenfranchised. Not so much about theology, more bums on seats.
I love The Last Temptation Of Christ by Scorsese. Really pissed them off.
Yes, and they ALL seem to very conveniently FORGET that their 'Holy" book states clearly that their beloved, adored and idolized Jesus told everyone " Think not that I come bearing the Olive Branch of Peace, for I come bearing the Sword and shall set Father against son, brother against brother and neighbor against neighbor...…"
So where did they get this idea that Jesus was a Peace-loving, Kindly, Caring, etc, Saviour from in the first place?
@Triphid yes, the peace living Jesus I think was largely a construction of the post Enlightenment age when Christos repackaged their brand. The bulk of the history of this religion has nothing to do with peace, love and charity. It's like if Nazis reinvented themselves in a century or two as a nice caring ideology. "What about the 20th Century and WW2?" a historian might ask. "Oh that's in the past." Well, the past can't be forgotten.
