Here in Australia we face an election this Saturday. Now normally religion and religious views are not raised in the actual campaign by the major political parties. This time, however, the issue of hell has come up, because the church the Prime Minister attends believes gays who have sex are going to hell. And the Prime Minister often speaks of his religion, even inviting TV cameras into his church during the campaign. That's unprecedented. (he's a pentecostal)
It's been extraordinary to see this come up in the campaign. The Opposition leader called out the Prime Minister for not clearly stating gay persons are not hell bound. Amazing stuff.
This is what happens when a political leader uses religion as part of his campaign. I hope we don't see it again.

Why are religions so obsessed with people's genitals and what they do with them?
