Yeah Edmund Burke,"all that is necessary for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing" and not funny actually.
From Australian Atheist Federation Forum:
The current activities of the Australian Christian Lobby: Annoyed? ME? I'm fucking livid.
Quote:Turns out it is a side project of the Australian Christian Lobby to apply pressure on politicians to push their bigoted agendas. It has surfaced once before on these forums as far as I could see but that was years ago. I was a little concerned at this blatant display of societal disregard.
They have four main projects:
Man + Wife 4 Life
Quote:
The Australian Labor Party will debate watering down its support for marriage at its national conference in December. This is despite an election promise to support marriage between a man and a woman. Should Labor falter, the Greens will almost certainly push for an immediate conscience vote to redefine marriage. We need to act now.
Kids' Rights Count
Quote:
Children deserve a mum and a dad wherever possible, but apparently not in Tasmania, where the Government plans to let two men, two women or a single person order a baby through altruistic surrogacy.
Care Not Killing
Quote:
Euthanasia is again up for debate in our Federal Parliament. Sign the petition today to send a clear message to the Senate that legalising euthanasia is a dangerous path that puts vulnerable lives at risk.
Women Are Worth More
Quote:
The WA Attorney General plans to ban prostitution from residential areas but allow brothels in other locations. This approach has failed elsewhere and women will continue to be ‘legally exploited’ through the sex trade.
The immediate hypocrisies spring to mind (that we cover quite a bit) such as:
Why does the hetero male/female model represent the ideal model for a union of two people and parenting given the high rate of divorce and history of suppressed spousal abuse (even in religious unions) etc?
They talk about women being 'worth more' when their very doctrines preach that women are the subservient and weaker sex.
So what of it?
