*sigh* We are talking about demon possession and you are telling me to grow up. I now somewhere inside that hea of yours is something that anchors you to reality, find it again and hold on to it.

why are you so against casting out demons..

Because they have not been shown to exist and evangelical churches use them to control the week willed and mentally ill within their flock.

it does not affect your life in the least and that is certain for all eternity

Lovely Christian attitude there. I am not being abused by religious nutters so I should just leave it alone. Tell me do you walk past someone who is dying in the street and say, "well its none of my business".

you should examine why you have so much disdain for those of us who operate in authority in the spiritual realm…

You like telling people what to do don't you. Let me reassure you that I have examined why I have "disdain" for the practices you carryout – they harm other people. Yet that appears to be alright by your twisted version of Christianity

are you just jealous or scared out of your wits because you know deep down inside that without the Power of Jesus Christ you are truly

Jealous…hmmm…let me think, no, concerned that you might be losing you tenuous grip on reality – yes.

Scared…no…do you still get scared by fairytales? No wait don't answer that, I know the answer.

THEY WILL GET YOU…and your little dog, too.

Not the dog, please not the dog. Funny, when it boils down to it all you fire and brimstone types have are empty threats.

No be gone before I unleash the imps.

I take it then that you agree with their biblical views? Their abstinence only approach and their ideas of sexual purity, regardless of what effect this may have on families and communities later on. It's your money spend it where you like obviously, I just prefer to give money to causes that are not preaching at the same time they are helping.

That and anyone who would have a co founder of Mercy Australia, on their board of directors makes me distinctly worried at what sort of christian teachings they are receiving.

As to taking time to think of someone other than myself, well I spend a lot of time doing that both in my personal and working life, I tend not to crow about it though because then it becomes less about thinking of others and more about trumpeting my supposed goodness.

Working in our own backyard with the homeless and the mentally ill, with the poor in Aboriginal communities I am acutely aware of how privileged some of us in this society have it.

Lets just hope that compassion aren't helping to train the next wave of christians willing to burn children as witches.

Are the charities getting tax deductions for gloria jean coffee ?

are directors getting paid for their charitable work ?

why develop such a complex web of companies and charities if there is nothing to hide ?
