omg Davo!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW I clicked on your deleted comment and that is really revolting. I think I threw up a bit in my mouth just looking at that.

Mr. Black- brilliant job on the chunder pics. Davo spewing 0's and 1's, you've captured Protium perfectly. I love that yours is pearlized. Well played, as always.

Squeeze me now while I rinse my mouth out and wipe the brown off my nose.

HOLY CRAP...(figuratively and literally)
I think I died a little inside...that is the biggest load of bull and nonsense I have ever heard from a politician.
Frankly, I can think of TONNES of things that you could do in the time that you're praying
  1. Donate to a charity
  2. Take out the garbage
  3. Put something in the recycling bin
  4. See why Kevin Rudd higher in the preference polls then he is
    Basically, ACTUALLY try to make Australia a better place then to get your imaginary friend to do it...obviously he hasn't seent eh God is Imaginary 'Prayer is superstition' video...

Look at Kevin Rudd, leader of 90 Parliamentary Christian Fellowship parliamentary members, and growing

What happened to 'separation of Church and State', eh?
EDIT: Just found out that the Catch the Fire Ministries Pastor is the one that said that the fires were an act of God...

As far as I can tell, we don't have it. But it's definitly something that we should have. Religion hasn't played a big part in Australian politics, for the most part but it could happen if they wanted to
