Last week you made mention of an email you had received from a listener who said he was opposed to you or anyone else talking about anything to do with your Christian views or beliefs.

This type of discrimination usually comes up when someone disagrees with a particular statement so they respond with this line they got from the disillusioned skeptics handbook that says no one else has the right to express a view that you disagree with.

The bottom line is really we either have the freedom to speak about whatever we want  - or we don’t have freedom of speech at all.

If such biased discrimination prevailed and only the views and beliefs of such people were allowed to be expressed …. what if other people disagree with them?  

Do we then silence everyone so no one is offended?  

If you silence everyone then you offend everyone.

Perhaps it is because such people do not believe that God exists, they start to think their beliefs are more important than anyone elses because they are the superior being...

Has Fred Nile gone too and damaged freedom of religion this time?

Thursday morning's topic for Thursday 4th August 2011

Morning Di,

The issue of ethics classes in NSW schools has created quite a stir since the NSW election and this week the Sydney Morning Herald published an interesting and controversial article from Charlie Fine, an 11 year old attends ethics classes because that was the choice made by his family.

On the other side of this debate is Leader of The Christian Democratic Party Rev. Fred Nile MLC who has indicated to the NSW Premier that if ethics classes continue in NSW schools then he may withdraw his support of crucial government legislation.

Frankly I think Fred Nile is doing more harm than good for freedom of religion with his stand on this issue

Religious education classes in public schools are not about one particular religion.  They are about the freedom of choice of religious education.

These classes are protected by the Constitution to ensure that parents are able to have a representative from their religion teach their children about their family’s religious beliefs.
If the parent’s choice is for their child to attend an ethics class over religious scripture class should it be up to Fred Nile to hold a family’s freedom of religion to ransom?

....Turn It Up...
