They will always say "It is Gods will" he never does his job by protect his people but they will still pray in his name.

My friends say this all the time. A friend of mine was at a restaurant in Bangladesh when the gunman stormed in. She and her husband survived and they said it was thanks to god. So what about those who were killed that night? They only think of themselves.

He caused 70 to die, just so that he could show how powerful he is by saving others.

so deranged!

When mental illness is mistaken for religion

Any adult with imaginary friends should seek medical advice.

yup

The only thing I want to hear about this evil, pedophile-defending war criminal is that he’s finally dropped off the perch. What a wonderful time for celebration that day will be.

Doesn't he get it? Australia dumped him. His opinion is worthless!

Religion in schools is child abuse . They should all be closed and the money they get put into the publec school system where it belongs. Public schools should be secular, better funded and resourced than private ones like our kids deserve .

Why do news agencies even give this crusty old fossil time and space? 🙄😖

His analogy is flawed, the primary purpose of any school is education not ideology, if that weren't the case private schools wouldn't be advertising their academic results

If religions can't educate without being discriminatory then they shouldn't be in the education business.

Don’t know why the keep wheeling out these has been pollies. When they finish they should just go away and enjoy all their benefits. Silly old bugger (to quote his mate)

Old geezer should retire

Yesterday’s man should shut up. He screwed this country enough already!

Does that mean I can refuse to sell my goods or services to religious schools?

Gosh, I thought he’d be long gone by now.

Why are they always dragging out this revolting old fossil!!! 🤬

Retire and go away.... what we don't need is segregation between faiths... that is how wars start.

History will show Howard destroyed life as we know it, this is why Fraser resigned from the liberals he has bought American religious fervour to Australia for his own personal power, unethical immoral person he always has been.

Yes grandpa, you’re still prime minister, right now time for nap nap

FFS - Why is he still getting to taint the pages of respectable media with such garbage?

What concerns me is that Section 38 exemption in the SDA allows religious schools to discriminate against students or teachers who identify as LBGTIQ or who are same-sex attracted.The religious exemptions in discrimination law include the following:That the exemptions apply automatically to religious organisations, without any requirement that they be justified;That there is no requirement for such organisations to demonstrate how they are promoting equality within the parameters of their religious doctrines;That they are inconsistent with international law obligations. Specifically, the Convention for the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) requires signatories to take all steps to eliminate practices based on the superiority of either sex or of stereotypical roles for men and women;That the concept of ‘good faith’ is subjective and allows organisations too much leeway where discriminatory practices are not genuinely necessary.

Is he still here? Piss off back to wherever you crawled out from! Mr Howard. Sir. (Remembers manners)

John who?

Let’s breed some elitism back into the ranks ..

Howard should just keep he's thoughts to himself. Not everyone has the same beliefs....thank goodness.

The only way I would agree to having education on religion in school, is if it was part of a historical and cultural course. Giving a couple lessons on the history of the major religions throughout history including some of the extinct religions.

If Howard asserts that faith based schools have an ‘absolute right’ to teach faith as a guiding principle, then the rest of us have an absolute right to criticise, mock, challenge, discriminate against and hold in contempt such views.

If they want to discriminate, that's fine. As long as they receive not one cent of public money.

He’s not appeasing them, did you read the article Atheist Foundation?

I like how the article mentions the church warning the government that the pandemic would have ripple effects to coming generations.I mean, I'd laugh at the stupidity of it, but Scummo the Crime Minister probably doesn't realise that it's a serious problem yet.I'd guess he thinks it's just another crisis he can solve by taking overseas holidays, and doesn't grasp why the entire country doesn't just do the same.

Ugh

Why?

This made me so angry when I read it. Vote Greens!!

Albo Saves

Buying votes from God Botherers! It is terrifying just how cozy Federal politics is with the more acceptable cults within our society.

well, he can't get votes anywhere so I guess he will se3ll out his soul for a vote, he IS a labor politician, after all, the only ethical thing for this person to do is to retire and let someone WITH VISION come into parliament, and if he doesn't he will lose his seat at the greens anyway, LOL.

Folks, there is a spectrum of religious folks.At one end, you've got Christians in 'Love makes a way'.At the other end you've got the Australian Christian lobby.Frankly, the Christians I talk to at the good end don't like the liberals. So, it's smart to ask them for their vote. Caring for folk who are struggling is a value Labor shares with Christians.(I'm not religious).

Fair enough, nowhere did he say god actually exists.Finding common ground is what good leaders do.

Gawd, now Labor has to grovel to the god-freaks for a vote. People who need to be told what's ethical. Pathetic state of affairs.

This shit is why you vote for the reason party (100% secular/atheist party)
