When will Australia have an atheist prime minister?

 

[Sultun]

rofl God will never allow that. Unless to test agiasnt the temptation of Satan (like the fossils in the rocks).

 

[Tangent]

a few people need to die in politics first....i mean that in a nice way

 

[Brontecat]

i think there will be an atheist PM someday, revelations (yes i'm Christian) speaks of a time when Christianity is condemned - can't rlly see that happening with Christian PM

 

[Iruka]

We have already had one about 25 years ago.

It is widely know that Bob Hawke is an atheist.

 

[jennyfromdabloc]

Who cares. I don't give a fuck what the PM's personal beliefs are. As long as they don't try to impose it on everyone. I'd rather a fundamentalist Christian who believes in small government and respects others right to live differently than an athiest with a vision for a "great society" that they want to force everyone to be a part of.

 

[S.H.O.D.A.N.]

I think Bob Hawke paraded it more as agnosticism, but even he probably wasn't the first atheist or agnostic we've had.

Gough Whitlam was atheist or agnostic. Hellen Clarke and Bob Key are both atheist or agnostic (current and former PM of New Zealand).

I highly doubt we'll have an atheist or agnostic Liberal PM any time soon.

*sigh*... Go read your Bible, gain some common sense and some debating argumentative skills... Then come back and post here...

Deakin was some buddhist nut

But why does this matter? You atheists feelin lonely? Seeking frens in high places? We Christians have the highest fren imaginable. The PM is nothing

 

[sam5]

we probably will never get one because of all these brainwashed believers who wont vote one in.

No wonder the country doesnt act on climate change.

Some of u religious pple will kill ur mothers, aunts and anyone in sight just to be able to serve ur fake man high in the sky true by word.

Really sad to think pple in this day in age, with this amount of knowledge, will continue the lie to generations of children. Wiping them clean of their true opinions just to follow the masses.

Its just amazing that religion exists today. Stupidity and naievity has let it live on beyond where it should have ended.

The fact that we KNOW we evolved from lower species effectively between 100 000 - 250 000 yrs ago completely destroys any current religious paradigm. It's so embarrassing we still speak of it, never lone still have politicians who represent us believe it.

im might not be bat shit crazy chanting on about adam and eve, but im still not convivial about the evolution process.

You know it doesnt hurt us at all Cookie. We believe that we were created, whether that means out of thin air or thru a moulding process spanning hundreds of thousands of years. Are you even aware that a scientific theory cannot penetrate the biggest philosophical questions facing us? That's embarrassing...

 

[Tangent]

wow, flamola.

once again, another thread of theist verse atheists

oh well...

we can only tell you whats correct, but sadly we cant make you accept it.

Even though we hand you (religious people) the evidence to prove that your beliefs are wrong, why do you continue to believe something that is proven to be false?

Its sort of like if a child still believed in santa clause even if he was told that it was fake...and stopped receiving presents off him. But its worse than that.

Because Iron, ur an adult with a fully developed brain, not a little kid. You are meant to know better.

 

[sam5]

wow, flamola.

once again, another thread of theist verse atheists

its because the atheists are angry.

we are angry cos we have won the argument (through science) but we cant win because the stubborn religious people wont accept that theyre wrong.

Its not our fault they believe in primative ideas.

 

[Iron]

Sam, you gave no argument.

 

[sam5]

Sam, you gave no argument.

But neither have you!

As cookie ( i think) said, scientists have given the facts. Cos of that, i dont have too.

Anyway, im sick of arguing with stubborn religion people.

Its only the frustration that makes us argue with u...because we know u will never accept defeat.

 

[Iron]

Youre not arguing, youre gloating out of ignorance. We learned the error of this long ago!

'Facts', useful though they are, can never answer the philosophical question 'why is there something rather than nothing?'. You see?

 

[dieburndie]

Are you even aware that a scientific theory cannot penetrate the biggest philosophical questions facing us? That's embarrassing...

Theists don't even acknowledge these questions, let alone answer them.

Philosophy, particularly epistemology, is where the collapse of the foundation of monotheistic religion is most evident.
