Christians are under attack in Australia: Religion is increasingly being associated with bigotry and intolerance, yet proposed law changes discriminate against believers.

Christians are not "religious"; they are spiritual individuals seeking to live morally in accordance with Christ Jesus' teaching that ' the Kingdom of God is within you.

Ron: No doubt this author is well meaning but he frames his discussion in the distorted and misleading terms imposed on our world by Talmudists. Religions are socio-political control mechanisms. For instance Talmudists created the Jewish religion as a socio-political mechanism to control tribal people in Judea.

Subsequently they forced the Romans to crucify Christ Jesus to silence his teaching which totally undermined their bogus religion and political control apparatus. Jesus’ message was so strong that the Pharisees then attempted to eradicate all vestiges of his GOOD NEWS by establishing a bogus Christian religion. That was necessary because Jesus taught that every ensouled HUman (Higher Universal man) is an only begotten (i.e. unique) son or daughter of the Creator, given intellect, free will and ability to reincarnate (1) in order to have sufficient life experiences to learn about life, the universe and everything and progress through the cosmos to become like God and eventually meet with the Creator on Paradise Isle. After that the individual returns to the cosmos to assist with its administration and management. For detailed information see eg: The Urantia Book: https://www.urantia.org/urantia-book/read-urantia-book-online

Jesus message totally undermined the Pharisees’ materialist tribal religion based on the tribe making physical sacrifices that benefited the Pharisaic Temple priests.

Jesus didn’t incarnate to establish a religion and DIDN’T. He came to reveal divine truths lost over millennia and corrupted by Pharisees and others. The Pharisees forced the Romans to crucify Jesus to silence his teaching and eradicate his GOOD NEWS.

But the Pharisees not only coerced the Romans into crucifying Jesus, they also influenced Emperor Constantine to establish the Christian religion as the religion of the Empire in an effort to totally eradicate Jesus' divine teaching because it directly threatened their demonic Talmudic political ideology and control.

The Christian religion and the Bible didn't exist in 325 AD when Emperor Constantine organised and presided over the Council of Nicaea. In 331 AD Constantine commissioned fifty Bibles for the Church of Constantinople, but little else is known (in fact, it is not even certain whether his request was for fifty copies of the entire Old and New Testaments, only the New Testament, or merely the Gospels.

After Constantine established the Christian religion to unify his empire the Pharisees managed to distort or delete most crucial elements of Jesus' teaching and to have the genocidal Torah and the rest of the Judaic ‘Old Testament’ inserted into the Bible even though it contained genocidal, barbaric elements that are totally opposed to Jesus’ message of peace, love and brotherhood for all humanity. Never-the-less, the elements of Jesus' loving divine message that survived were so powerful that they still resulted in the development of a Christian civilisation in Byzantium and Europe which has enlightened our world.

(1) Final Elimination of the Truth about Reincarnation

Emperor Justinian eliminated virtually all references to Jesus' teaching about reincarnation from the Bible. This was finally achieved during the Fifth Ecumenical Council in 554 AD. At that time Emperor Justinian arrested Pope Vigilius for Believing in Reincarnation and had the Council declare:

If anyone asserts the fabulous preexistence of souls, and shall assert the monstrous restoration which follows from it: let him be anathema. (The Anathemas against Origen), attached to the decrees of the Fifth Ecumenical Council, A.D. 554, in Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, 2d ser., 14: 318). See eg: Pope [Vigilius] Arrested for Believing in Reincarnation - https://www.mauinews.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/2016/05/pope-vigilius-arrested-for-believing-in-reincarnation/

Eradication of the doctrine of Reincarnation, ie knowledge that the evolvement of life and hence MIND is based on the reincarnation process (which is essential to enable spirit beings incarnating into physicality to avail themselves of a sufficient number of physical incarnations to adequately explore and understand the immensity of life, the universe and everything) is the method used by the Pharisees and neo-Pharisees, ie Talmudists who call themselves Jews but are not, to convince gentiles (ie all who DO NOT accept Talmudism) that they are merely physical creatures having one, only, lifetime which has no meaning, destiny or purpose.

Concomitantly this LIE, reinforced by the Talmudists' coercion and funding of scientists to accept and promulgate false science about life, the universe and everything as typified by falsely promulgated Darwinian evolutionary theories about the Origin of Species, has made it easy for Talmudists and the Christian religious puppets they control, to instil fear of death into congregations. The truth is scientifically explained by Bruce Lipton. See eg: Bruce Lipton - Fear vs Love State and Stress's Effects on Your Body - Bruce-Lipton---Fear-vs-Love-State-and-Stress-s-Effects-on-Your-Body.shtml

This process of inserting LIES into Christian teaching and the Bible has made it feasible for Talmudists and materialists generally, to distort human consciousness and science by having scientists, academics, educators and commentators as well as governments and the MSM, promulgate false and ridiculous ideas about consciousness arising from random chemical reactions. This also enables Talmudists and materialists to contend that people on this small planet on the edge of the universe are the most, and probably the only, consciously intelligent beings in the Cosmos. LOL.

***********************************

Jesus’ teaching was spiritual NOT religious. He taught that once a human begins to make moral decisions the Creator bestows on him/her a fragment of Creator consciousness (a ‘Thought Adjuster’) so that if the individual “goes within” s/he can perceive truth and guidance. Jesus taught that every ensouled HUman is ‘a temple of God’ and needs no external priest, guru or physical religious structure(s) to live a moral life. This truth has been swamped by Talmudic religious bullshit inserted into the Christian religion to confuse and deceive humanity and it has largely worked as the language in the article under discussion evidences.

Think about it. the moment you discard the rhetoric about “religions” and “believers” and start objectively analysing behaviour and language about it, in terms of morality - the effects of actual behaviour and language on people, flora, fauna and the planet - the labelling of people and their behaviour as being “religious” is ad hominem, irrelevant and absurd. A deliberate misdirection of the debate.

******************************************

Six centuries after Christ Jesus walked this planet the Prophet Muhammad was given true divine revelations in an effort to rectify some of the distortions created by the Pharisees and their promulgation of the so-called Christian religion. Unfortunately the demonic Talmudists also interfered with and altered the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad in the Koran giving it the negative anti-human and amoral features it has. Thus the so-called Abrahamic religions have become part of the problem not the solution; and grist to the mill of the Talmudic materialists that are trying to send humanity and this planet to hell in a hand basket.

Debates about religions are a strawman created by demonic Talmudists to misdirect debates about morality and real spiritual issues.

This article ineptly criticises anti-religious legislation when it should be criticising amoral anti-human legislation.

The real issues are not matters of “religious” beliefs, they are about personal morality and societal cohesion, health and welfare.

LGBTQIA+ism is a cultural Marxist artifact and a major, Talmudic elitist funded mechanism for destroying the morality and hence the societal and cultural cohesion of the Western Christian derived civilisations which arose from the remnant values of the teachings of Christ Jesus that have escaped the destruction wreaked by the Talmudic elitists' who created the Christian religion.

WOKEism is the result of an extremely successful Cultural Marxist march through Western cultural and governance institutions which was designed to totally undermine Western Christian morality and culture. It has almost achieved moral and societal disintegration in parts of the US, UK and EU and the process is well underway in Australia and New Zealand.

Diversity implies the opposite of unity. So-called Affirmative Action disaffirms the rights of those discriminated against in favour of ‘affirming’ the rights of someone else.

Talmudists and their minions, servants and agents indulge in invalid word games (Newspeak) that the general population has become too stupid to comprehend and reject because of a life time of mind numbing schooling and MSM gas lighting and programming.

All Australian governments are illegal and unlawful as Australia has no Constitution and its current controllers pretend to govern under  a defunct colonial constitution that ceased to be valid when Australia became a sovereign nation. Consequently their legislated LIES need to be removed along with the pretend legislators who promulgate them and the minions who assist them.

Ideologies like Political Correctness, Intersectionality and Inclusivity, Identity politics and Transgenderism, broadly referred to as cultural Marxism aka LGBTQIA+ism or WOKEism, were developed by Talmudists with demonic guidance and have nearly destroyed the US and the Western world including Australia.

The repressive edifice constructed on the basis of these ideologies was built on the Affirmative Action meme in the last 40 years and it is now about to unravel as a result of the US Supreme Court decision in: ‘Supreme Court guts affirmative action, effectively ending race-conscious admissions’: https://www.npr.org/2023/06/29/1181138066/affirmative-action-supreme-court-decision

The repercussions of that decision will eventually trickle down to peripheral areas of the US empire like Australia.

No Jesus: Christians are under attack in Australia

Religion is increasingly being associated with bigotry and intolerance, yet proposed law changes discriminate against believers

By Augusto Zimmermann, Professor and Head of Law at Sheridan Institute of Higher Education in Australia, President of WALTA – Legal Theory Association, and former Law Reform Commissioner with the Law Reform Commission of Western Australia

The last census in Australia indicates that, while Christianity is still the answer most people give when asked about their religion, it is in sharp decline, and ‘no religion’ is a close second.

Almost 44% of the respondents said they were Christian in 2021, and almost 39% said they were not religious. Looking at the trend – these numbers were 61% and 22%, respectively, a mere decade earlier – it is clear that Christians are on their way to becoming a minority.

This trend of Australia’s weakening Christian heritage is further exacerbated by existing and proposed anti-religious legislation aimed at radically changing the fabric of our society. The latest such proposals, worked out by the Australian Law Reform Commission (ALRC), seek to eliminate the exemptions to the country’s discrimination laws which allow religious schools to expel students, fire teachers, and turn down applicants based on their sexuality, relationship status, and pregnancy. In other words, it allows a religious school to be able to hire and admit people who adhere to its religion’s values.

It could be argued that this is social engineering legislation that undermines the protection of religious freedom, and if Australia is to maintain a harmonious society, it would benefit from having less such interference. But the work and beliefs of Christians continue to be challenged. Surely, this must have sapped the confidence of the faithful in the ability of their church to oppose the legislative agenda.

Peter Kurti is director of the Culture, Prosperity and Civil Society program at the Centre for Independent Studies in Sydney. He is an ordained minister of the Anglican Church. In his book ‘Sacred & Profane: Faith and Belief in a Secular Society’, he comments that the present move by the ruling classes to defend self-identifying ‘victim’ groups has produced an undesirable confrontation between existing social groups, each of which tend to deny it has any obligation to the other groups.

This is not really about celebrating ‘diversity’ but separating people along the lines of gender, religion, ethnicity, and so forth. It does so by treating society as a collection of separate groups that are dependent upon government-managed responses to diversity.

In this sense, the idea of ‘rights’ has been weaponised and anti-discrimination laws are increasingly used to stifle expression of personal opinion, rather than simply challenge bad behaviour. This mounting intolerance poses a threat to individual freedom and the rule of law. For example, when same-sex marriage activists urge the removal of anti-discrimination exemptions from religious groups committed to a traditional form of marriage, they effectively seek to impose their views and beliefs on those with whom they disagree.

It is now often said in Australia that an unyielding attachment to Christian values and traditions inhibits society’s progression and evolution. This sentiment has evolved and is now used to deny the participation of Christians in public life. In our society, there are those who find a religious argument behind any policy they deem unacceptable. There are indeed many such characters in Australian politics, the mainstream media, and academic circles who simply cannot accept, let alone tolerate, that any politician, or indeed any public figure, should be influenced by Christian morality.

Perhaps Australians should carefully consider what they might be losing as a society by abandoning their Christian values and traditions. It is now an appropriate time for an accounting of the tangible human and social benefits of religion and the recognition of the potential disadvantages to Australia becoming a less religious society, given the growing number of Australians saying they have no religious belief.

Greg Sheridan, a leading Australian journalist, soberly predicts “the eclipse of Christianity will be like the eclipse of the sun. Darkness will be the result.” When Christianity is entirely eradicated from our society and culture, it will be simply impossible to ignore the fact that without belief in God, there is no final human accountability. “Life is just what you can get away with, and the ultimate price to pay,” Sheridan argues.

Rodney Stark is one of the world’s leading authorities on the sociology of religion. For many years, this Pulitzer Prize nominee was a sociology professor at the University of Washington. In an attempt to rise above the din of the ‘culture wars’ and to focus exclusively on the facts, Stark, in his book ‘America’s Blessings: How Religion Benefits Everyone, Including Atheists’, carefully measured the overall effects of religious belief on a society.

Compared with less religious and irreligious people, Stark concluded that religious people:

are much less likely to commit crimes at all ages;

are far more likely to contribute even to secular charities, to volunteer their time to socially beneficial programs, and to be active in civic affairs;

enjoy superior mental health – they are happier, less neurotic, and far less likely to commit suicide;

enjoy superior physical health, having an average life expectancy more than seven years longer than that of the irreligious;

express a higher degree of satisfaction with their marriage and are substantially less likely to abuse their spouses and children;

perform better on standardised achievement tests and are far less likely to have dropped out of school, which is especially true for ethnic minorities;

are far less subject to being on unemployment benefits or welfare.

Australians should, therefore, carefully consider how much they might be losing as a society by becoming less religious. Values come to us trailing their historical past. When we attempt to cut all links to that past, we risk cutting the lifelines on which those values essentially depend.

However, the regular displays of animosity towards committed Christians can be found in major political parties and are not isolated instances of a broader, anti-religious bigotry. In fact, voices that are highly critical of Christianity and suspicious of any Christian influence in Australian politics are becoming increasingly more influential and bigoted, even in the so-called conservative side of politics.

For example, many members of the Liberal Party, the so-called ‘conservative’ party in Australia, strongly believe that their views are routinely disregarded, and even ridiculed by the Party, in the pursuit of nebulous and untested notions of ‘diversity’ and ‘inclusiveness’.

The Moira Deeming affair in Victoria, which involved her expulsion from the Liberal Party for attending a pro-life and pro-women rally, as well as the rejection of membership applications of people with perceived Christian views in South Australia, surely have driven scores of former and once-committed members of the Liberal Party out of the party as a result of their more truly conservative views.

By dictating what people can say and by treating the most essential aspect of the lives of religious people as an entirely private matter, those who view the moral duty of believers to act in line with their conscience as something that disqualifies them from political life, are actually guilty of an undemocratic form of anti-religious bigotry, a sentiment that is quite prevalent in Australian society.

There is nothing in the Australian Constitution that can possibly justify the suppression of religious discourse in the public sphere. It may be counterproductive to present an overtly religious discourse in a neopagan society such as Australia’s, but there is nothing that can possibly justify the denial of equal rights of freedom of political communication for everyone, religious or not.

My message to the world, I hope, is very clear: Discrimination on grounds of religion of the kind that I have witnessed in Australia is – using the language of the Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Intolerance and of Discrimination Based on Religion and Belief, adopted by the UN General Assembly on November 25, 1981) an “an affront to human dignity.” It is totally incompatible with international human rights standards which protect religious belief and religious practice.
