Was asked an interesting question today. Can an atheist still go to church as an atheist and enjoy the โcultureโ and โcommunity?โ What do we all think?
Love it when people on here make the snarky remark "what's an atheist pastor?" as if that will instantly discredit me. For those wondering it is:
a - The twitter handle I choose to use
b - An atheist who was a pastor
c - An atheist who can still help people in a pastoral way

Well for a start Israel didn't annex Palestine in the 40s. The region was a British protectorate, and prior to that was a part of the Ottoman Empire.
Someone in the atheist community converted to Islam. I disagree with his reasons but what I really disagree with is the abuse some people are sending his way. Atheists complain about how they are treated leaving religion, so how about not being hypocrites. Heโs still our friend.
@RupertsConscie1
So your argument for voting yes is because corporations and celebrities say so? Gonna need a hell of a lot more than that to vote for a constitutional change!
@PaulineHansonOz
I moved to the ACT during covid and I had to be vaccinated in order to cross the border to move to my new house! If I didn't get it I would have been homeless. I even still had to get a second shot after being hospitalised after the first. Vaccine or homelessness isn't a choice!
I hate it when conspiracy theorists say โYou need to look into it and do the researchโ simply because you disagree with their claim. Watching YouTube videos and reading unreferenced material on a blog does not constitute research!
I find it slightly ironic that evangelicals are praying for the guy who played golf on Sunday to be President instead of the guy who went to church on Sunday.......
The atheist "community" seems more interested with words & meanings than actually making a real difference. It's why people don't want to identify as atheist, because from the outside we all look like a bunch of intellectual wannabes who religiously attack anyone who disagrees.
Just want to give a big shout out to Jesus for helping my friend find his keys. My friend finding his keys was the evidence I was looking for and the miracle we all needed (according to my friend)! Priorities I guess.......
@ChristyDanFan
Need to have a better argument to change the constitution than "other people might think poorly of us." If that's the best argument there is then no wonder the No case is winning.
RIP to one of the genuinely nice people on our community. If anyone needs to talk or vent or just needs a friend right now my DMโs are open. RIP

It is with great sadness I inform everybody of some terrible news. Our good friend
@booleanenator
is sadly no longer with us. Information is still coming in and I will update as soon as I can. This is a sad day. Thank you all for helping me contact the peeps needed. RIP Bool.
@P_Thompson88
No they havenโt. They have listed the dates in legislation of public holidays. Easter is mentioned differently because the dates shift every year. If they simply put in Anzac Day whatโs to stop someone trying to change the date?
@ChrisMinnsMP
Build them - but also make sure they donโt end up being snapped up by foreign investors or turned into Airbnb like everything else. Add infrastructure and make sure people who need them can actually afford to buy them.

@SenatorWong
So I assume you're suggesting the Australian Government apologise to Israel since it turns out that one of these brothers was a member of Hezbollah who had fired rockets at Israel, killing 9 Israelis. That seems reasonable. Albo and Wong should apologise to Israel.

Egyptian Embassy is located at 1 Darwin St Yarralumla (just up the road from your office). Phone number is 6273-4437. Give them a call and let them know you think they should open their border with Gaza.
@MehreenFaruqi
Considering what is going on right now, why are the Greens choosing now as the time to "rally for Palestine." The government of Palestine murdered 260 young people at a music festival, and paraded the naked bodies of their rape victims through the street.

@realDailyWire
Disagree with someones politics but never cool to wish someone dead, or use the death of someone's brother for political point scoring. Goes for both sides
@ellymelly
I'm a shareholder in Endeavour (which ironically is a company named after Cook's ship). I'll be expressing my anger about this - I want them to sell drinks, not political positions.

I wouldnโt say quietly. She was on the news yesterday trying to push the government on making improvements for Indigenous people in the NT. Sheโs been very active.

@TweetCorrineB
Hi Corrine. The article contains errors, incl. one glaring one. There was organised guerilla style resistance amongst the Indigenous. Very much an invasion from their perspective. Happy to provide sources. Commonly known as Frontier Wars among historians.
@emma_husar
I wasn't aware that a conviction had been recorded? Do you have information no one else knows about? Will you be testifying? I ask because I remember when accusations were thrown at you and a lot of people got nasty, so I would hope that experience would mean you are a lot more
Plenty of people have sent me messages warning me about
@SteveMcRae_
so I looked into him and what I found will surprise people. I'm putting a video out on it because it needs to be said! The truth needs to be told.
My 10 year old is having her birthday party. I ask what music they want me to put on and they all say Queen! I have hope for the next generation. A hell of a lot of hope!
A quote from one of the speakers at the protest in Melbourne today who claimed COVID-19 was developed in the 70's:
โThey want to force a global microchip of humans and mandatory vaccination, itโs all written in the New Testament,"
You can't make this shit up!
I was thinking I would tell the evangelicals I have evidence that Joe Biden is the Anti-Christ & Big Tech are his false prophets of the Apocalypse, but I'm worried they might believe me!
@OfficialKamahl
Something for you to be mindful of here. This picture implies that one side is looking at the greater good while the other is only self motivated. It does insult half your audience. When you were attacked by the left wing Phillip Adams, a lot on the right kept to your defence.
Going live in around 2 1/2 hours with

Lloyd Evans to talk all things Jehovah's Witnesses and the best way to engage with them.

@PatrickGormanMP
On this one I'm with Clive. Cathy is a national icon, but that doesn't mean I'm going to vote for a poorly thought out change to the constitution.
