I read in dismay of a primary school stopping its 25 year tradition of reciting the Lord's prayer during its assembly because apparently its goes against the rule that no religion shall be favoured.
Story of primary school banning the Lord's Prayer in Western Australia
I understand tolerance but I find it hard to accept that Christians, n the basis of tolerance and understanding, give up a lot of our rights in favour of other religions when the other religions will not do the same for us.
I am reminded of the plumber who came to my place a few months ago when a tree root burst one of our pipes and during our conversation, when I told him that I, a Catholic, may or may not opt to become a PR, he chided for me not wanting to become a PR and said that because of people like myself, people with other religions end up becoming PR and these people are not tolerant of the Australian way or life and want to impose their own culture here.
They keyword here is impose.
I find it really hard to comprehend people leaving their oppressive country and coming to Australia for freedom but then they start to ask for their rules to be applied in Australia. What a fucking moron. Why do they come here in the first place?
I also understood from a Malaysian news report that under the asylum exchange program, we would send 800 Muslims asylum seekers to Malaysia in return for 4000 non-Muslims. The ratio may be large but I think its a fair deal. Malaysia has always preferred Muslims compared to other races.
But whatever it is, please do not let Australia lose its Christian beliefs.
