There are many intelligent Christians, no doubt, but an "intellectual Christian", is surely an oxymoron.

To true...but "Tri" is usually indicative of three...who is the other team??
"tri" could also mean 'Aussie aspirations to beat the kiwis at their own game'

Is that how out lovely, first ever female Prime Minister, Julia, got there this week? She's an avowed atheist, btw, if it's not common knowledge there.

That's why she wanted to get rid of trans-tasman border checks, it takes long enough to get here by Waka without having some red tape to dance around!
Yeah it's pretty well known, Our last two PM's have been too, it just didn't really make any noise internationally like Julia's atheism did.

The former PM even went as far to say that NZ has no official religion and never will, that got the whining Catholics a bit hot under the collar

Glad to hear it!! That's one thing I admire about the Kiwis....'religion is a personal thing not a national one'

No and the Constitution prohibits the establishment of a state religion.
Chapter V
Quote:116. The Commonwealth shall not make any law for establishing any religion, or for imposing any religious observance, or for prohibiting the free exercise of any religion, and no religious test shall be required as a qualification for any office or public trust under the Commonwealth.
