Get fucked lefties
Remember tonight is Census night everyone. Be sure to mark your religion as some sort of Christian denomination to retain our culture and way of life. I understand that not everyone reading this is of the Christian faith and rightly so. However the mainstream culture (western culture) and comfortable way of life we all enjoy here in Australia is formed undeniabley on Christian virtues and ethics. If we want to preserve this culture then christianity has to remain the dominant force in this country. We all know the reality of what will happen if there a significant drop in Christianity and rise in Islam. It will mean more terrorism as more Saudi wahabbi mosques are built which will result in a rise of radical islam. Marking 'no religion' will not save Australia from Islamization, it will aid it. A 'no religion' answer in the governments eyes means that you don't care about or have a culture.

Remember, the influence zone of a Saudi wahabbi mosque is roughly 75m. Make sure you don't venture inside of a 75m circle of a mosque or you might find your Christianity stat going down

If you're really a patriot try driving past centrelink offices and yelling at the scum. This has been found to get your Christianity up more than attending church. It's a well known exploit, but we can't afford to let the Mus_Lims win this census.

If the Mus_lims do happen to win the majority this census, even after re-count, the first place you should go is... the supermarket! Mus_lims can't go anywhere near pork, and a pork chop hanging around your neck is guaranteed to keep you out of the kill radius of a suicide bomber and his dreams of 72 virgins.

Australian "culture" is pretty bad though OP, why do you want to save that? Aside from Crocodile Dundee, but the Musselmen will want to keep that because it's so good.

A culture built on the strong christian virtues and ethics of lying to the government as part of an attempt to disenfranchise other Australians. After all, in Numbers 31:27 it says, "Divide the shares equally between the soldiers who took part in the battle and the rest of the community who are our sort of people."

I've come back because I'm angry.


See, it's easy to talk about promoting Christian culture, values, and traditions, but generally it takes your form; ostracizing other religions and being lying shits about basically everything, based on magical thinking that it will somehow make your life richer.

If you were serious about spreading the teachings of Jesus you'd put on a nice suit that cleans easily, and you'd be going door to goddamn door spreading the good news. Most people have already heard it, so you'll have to prove you're more than just some lying sack of garbage wearing the tatters of the bible as a cape and being a lying poo poo about basically everything. I suggest yardwork. During the winter, shoveling snow makes you everyone's messiah, and you might save someone breaking a hip. Or you can just wear an obnoxiously colored interfaith cooperation jacket and start filling garbage bags with litter. If anyone makes eye contact, say hello! Don't be pushy about it, they'll see someone wearing a religious outreach jacket doing volunteer work and they'll know you're just aching to talk about Jesus. So maybe don't, talk about local sports team or a kangaroo you saw or something. Or maybe do? Your relation with God will guide you.

Maybe you're not even religious, but clearly the values of a religion are important to you. Get involved anyway! People will take your ethical concerns more seriously and listen more attentively when you're willing to back them up with sweat equity, and the values you're championing include charity and community. Plus, you'll have a nicer neighborhood, which is swell.

I am absolutely certain there are religious outreach groups in your area that would be thrilled to have as much of your time as you feel comfortable giving. Maybe you'll get to work alongside someone of another faith! This is a great chance to talk to them about the lord. Or maybe you can talk about how those Saudi wahabbi mosques of theirs worry you about the future of your nation. Social change grows from free and honest exchanges between people united in the shared goal of a better future, and if that means you lose your weekends to smelling slightly of garbage and toiling outside, so be it.


Of course, all that would take work and courage. Stick to lying about your faith, and then thirty years from now complain that kids don't believe in anything!

Each minaret adds potentially 300m to the effect radius. Minarets are very dangerous.

I appreciate your effort, but OP doesn't care about being a good Christian at all, he just hates/fears Muslims. The current census-related right-wing meme going around is that putting 'no religion' as your response will split the non-muslim response, and the government will start building more mosques or declare Australia a Muslim country or something. Because Australia isn't really a secular country, or something.

OP, do you seriously think the government is currently responsible for building churches, rather than the religious organisations or community groups themselves? Also, do you understand the concepts of secularism and separation of church & state, for just a couple of examples?

Also I think the mods and other D&D readers would really appreciate it if you could contain all of your insanity to one thread, or at least respond to your threads rather than dumping and starting a new one. Hell, even just post these in C-SPAM or something. Why did you stop posting in Auspol; could you not adequately respond to the posters' arguments?

Edit: one more thing. The current largest individual response is either "Catholic" or "No Religion" IIRC. Why isn't Australia currently considered a Catholic country, or an irreligious country? If enough people put "no religion" couldn't we just call ourselves an irreligious country, rather than whichever religion comes in second?

Actually mosques are pretty good faith building, that give +3 faith and +1 happiness, so stacking them with our churches means we can sort support a larger population

Obviously not as good as pagoda, but we'll get them in the next census.

Attempts to ensure that every citizen of Australia gets fair and equal representation under the law set off an enormous wave of suicides earlier today. When asked for comment, Malcolm Turnbull said, "It's just as well. We never knew what they wanted and they kept starting fires."

Depends which Prime Minister it was. If it was a colossal arsehole on the scale of John Howard or Tony Abbott then swimming should get a knighthood.
