Australia: Admit your sins to God, priest tells gay judge

Glad to see as ever that somethings remain static. In New Zealand, a priest has advised one of the High Court judges, who happens to be gay, that he needs to repent his sins or face the wrath of God. Well, ya know he is a judge, so far I would imagine he is doing quiet well without the wrath of God but anyway, here's the story.

Australia: Admit your sins to God, priest tells gay judge

A senior minister of a Sydney Anglican parish has made an extraordinary attack on Australian High Court judge Michael Kirby, warning he would face the wrath of God if he remained unrepentant as a gay man.

The rector of St Stephen's Church in Bellevue Hill, the Reverend Richard Lane, denounced the judge for calling himself a Christian Anglican while living in an openly gay relationship and warned as a "messenger, watchman and steward of the Lord in the Anglican Church of Australia", he faced God's judgment.

To call himself a Christian Anglican was a "perversion of truth" and to continue to do so without changing his lifestyle would brand him, like Herod, a "coward, a liar, a deceiver" and a "lawless one".

"I appeal to you to cast yourself on the mercy of Jesus … That is admit your sin, confess your wrongdoing and turn in humble repentance to the Lord Jesus, who alone can forgive you," Mr Lane said.

The Definite Description of Dublin Students

I have been looking for something to write up for today's entry. This is what I have come up with. Stereotypes perhaps but nonetheless quiet intriguing. :-)

The Definite Description of Dublin Students

A UCD, a DIT and a Trinity student were in an airplane that crashed. They're up in heaven,and God's sitting on the great white throne.

God addresses the UCD student first:"What do you believe in?"

The UCD Student replies,"Well,I believe in power to the little people.I think people should be able to make their own choices about things and that no one should ever be able to tell someone else what to do.I also believe in feeling people's pain."God thinks for a second "Okay,I can live with that.Come and sit at my left."

God then addresses the DIT student: "What do you believe in?"

The DIT student replies,"Well,I believe that the combustion engine is evil and that we need to save the world from CFCs and that if any more freon is used, the whole earth will become a greenhouse and we'll all die."God thinks for a second : "Okay,that sounds good.Come and sit at my right."

God then addresses the Trinity student: "What do u believe in"

The Trinity student replys "i believe u are in my chair".
