Nothing supernatural about the western suburbs of Melbourne
November 24, 2012 at 7:34 am
Hello
My name is Matt. I am a father of two and was a marine ecologist until the development of cheap genetic assays made my morphological taxonomy skills largely redundant. Rudderless, I became involved in social justice projects. Who knew there was a societal role that pays less and is orders of magnitude less glamorous than benthic ecology? At least there is no seasickness involved.
Melbourne is home but I have spent some years overseas and interstate.
I want religion out of my government, the government coffers and the government schools.
Cheerio
Matt

Hello Matt.
Speaking personally I know that our Church was approached recently by a government school to run a breakfast program (we declined the invitation as we aren't in a position to commit to it at present). How do you expect us to "stay out of schools" when we are clearly approached by them? This isn't an isolated incident either FYI.

Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

Willkommen
I`m embarrassed of myself. I had no idea where and what Melbbourne is and where it was, and had to google it.

Hi Matt. I totally agree with your thoughts so far on government and religion.
