Say Bye-bye to Religious Liberty REPRINT

Next step–church gets bulldozed for refusing to obey homosexuals

Should the government have the power to tell the church what to teach and what not to teach?

Hell, yeah. And that’s just what the “human rights” industry in Australia intends to do . (I had to remove the link as it no longer worked. PD)

In fairness it must be pointed out that some members of the government say this is going way, way too far and that the Tasmania Anti-Discrimination Law must be amended to keep far-out wackiness like this from happening.

You see, a single man who insists he is a woman–he’s also a Green Party candidate for Parliament, surprise, surprise–says church teaching offends him, so it must be changed. His target is the Roman Catholic Church, which earlier this year issued a pastoral letter entitled “Don’t Mess With Marriage.”

The church’s teachings on marriage, an institution ordained by God Himself, have remained the same for thousands of years.

Now they are to be changed because some lost soul demands it.

Here in America many individuals have been ruined, destroyed, not because of anything they did, but because they didn’t take part in a same-sex “wedding.”

Organized Sodomy has become powerful enough to do that. And it seeks more power still.

So far in Australia, attempts to rein in the “human rights” gang have been defeated by a coalition of left-wing members of Parliament, surprise, surprise.

Believe this: The secular tribe will never rest until the Christian religion is destroyed. That is their goal. They wish to remove Christianity as the biggest obstacle between them and total domination of the human race. Their pushes for “gay rights” and transgender nonsense are only tactics.

Had enough yet, folks? There’s more coming.

This is a judgment from God, but we have not yet learned to recognize it as such; and we are very, very far from the repentance that will save us.

And Here Come the Tarantulas

[Here we come, walkin’ down the street/ Freakin’ out everyone we meet…]

So you think your town’s got troubles?

The town of Maningrida in Northwest Territory, Australia, has been invaded by 25,000 “diving tarantulas” that can live underwater, bite you real bad, and make you quite sick ( https://uk.news.yahoo.com/thousands-venomous-spiders-invade-australian-105840833.html?.tsrc=yahoo#D1nuh6K ). I don’t know who sat down and counted them; suffice it to say that a huge herd of very large spiders came creeping over a nice, flat, flood plain where everyone could see them, heading for the town.

Crikey, mate–here comes trouble!

Australia has several species of large, hairy spiders, one of which has a bite that can kill a human being–“Atrax is the poisonous Funnelweb Spider of Australia,” according to my “Spiders and Their Kin” field guide. You can see they don’t call me Mr. Nature for nothing.

Does our language even have a word for a huge army of spiders?

If you see such an army heading for your town, please redirect it to Washington, D.C.

A Serial Poisoner Stalks Broken Hill

http://www.newburytoday.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Poison-bottle.jpg

Ready for some good old stuff?

In The Bachelors of Broken Hill (1950),  by Arthur Upfield, a prosperous mining city in the interior of Australia is the hunting ground for some unknown person who uses cyanide–a deadly poison, but easily obtained in those days–to murder elderly bachelors: in broad daylight, and in public places. When the local police, inexperienced in such bizarre crimes, can’t crack the case, Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte (“Bony” to his friends) has to take over.

Bony, half-white, half-aboriginal, has never failed to finalize a case. He is one of the most fascinating fictional detectives ever created, on a par with Sherlock Holmes. I know, that’s easy to say, but I really mean it. Upfield wrote several dozen Bony books, from the late 1930s into the early 1960s, and all I can say is, I wish he’d written more!

Usually Bony works in the Australian Outback, a world which Arthur Upfield knew intimately, and which he excels in bringing to life for the reader. It’s as if Australia itself were a major character in these stories.

But this time Bony has to do his detecting in a city, where his special gifts seem to be inapplicable.

To complicate matters, there’s another killer on the loose–a criminally insane magician.

Now, I haven’t yet read the last two chapters, so I can’t spoil it for you by telling you how Bony solves the case. But it has been a wild ride. The mystery in hand is truly devilish: Upfield was a master of creating suspense, and in this book (as in a few others), a real sense of creepiness.

If you like mysteries, treat yourself to some of these novels. Many of them are available on amazon.com, kindle or paperback, even a few used hardbacks. Arthur Upfield was a great writer, whom Australia ought to have declared a national treasure. Thankfully, online book outlets have made him easily available to American readers. For a time there it looked like he was just going to be allowed to go out of print; but I think amazon and Alibris and the others may have saved him.

We cannot afford to lose books like this!
