I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise

Australian Customs Inspector to Tourist: G'day, sir. Do you have a criminal record?
Tourist: Why, no. I wasn't aware that was still a requirement.
Or, no, but I heard it's easy to get one here.

I thought Australians aren't primarily Christian and that they don't bang the issue that their country was founded on Christian principles and the like. I don't even think their country was even founded on Christian principles but I could be wrong about this latter bit.
W O W! She Did It Again!!
Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard
Australia says NO -- Second Time she has done this!
She sure isn't backing down on her hard line stance and one has to appreciate her belief in the rights of her native countrymen.
A breath of fresh air to see someone lead. Australian Prime Minister does it again!!
The whole world needs a leader like this!
Prime Minister Julia Gillard - Australia
Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.
Separately, Gillard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying she supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques. Quote: 'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT... Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians.'
'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.'
'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language!'
'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.'
'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.'
'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, 'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.'
'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.'
NOTE: IF we circulate this amongst ourselves in Canada & USA , WE will find the courage to start speaking and voicing the same truths.

wow
You made a very big quote, without adding anything.
Is that supposed to convey a message of any kind?

Australians by international standards are not particularly racist. For example; a lot of Australians are usually blown away by the amount of racism which is present in a society like the United States. Australian does not have racism like what you see in America.
Although Australians are a strong Egalitarian people and like to side with the loser or underdog. Not to mention our humour is often making fun of yourself or others. Which can be seen by non-Australians as proving Australians for example a very racist people.
Australians also tend not be hypocritical like Americans are when it comes to things like racism. Americans I have observed are a very racist people. However they will deny they are deeply racist.
