Section 116 does not guarantee Freedom of Religion, BigOl64. Time you did some Constitutional Study.  Quote:No special rights for religious groups
No special rights for certain religious groups? Couldn't agree more, BigOl64. Lets end the tax free status of the Christian churches. The Commonwealth shall not make any law for establishing any religion, or for imposing any religious observance, or for prohibiting the free exercise of any religion, and no religious test shall be required as a qualification for any office or public trust under the Commonwealth. Yeah, righty-o, Ill get right on that degree in constitutional law, shall I? Go for it, BigOl64. I don't have one, nor never claimed one. I have studied the Constitution though. Quote:NO, NO special rights for any religious group, delete all of section 116. Make all people equal.
Guaranteeing a freedom to all Australians does make them equal, BigOl64... Guaranteeing special rights to only certain groups (religious) does not make them equal (non-religious or anti-religious groups), it makes them special. Remove their special rights and make them exactly the same as everyone else, subject to privileges and obligations dictated by government, but no special right in the constitution right. Seems fair Good luck with your proposed referendum, BigOl64. You have as much hope against the Pulpit as does any person who attempts to dictate on matters of conscious. A right guaranteed to all Australians for religious freedom, is guaranteed to all Australians. Simples really. Tsk, tsk. Where are the rights for non and anti-religious people? Where are the right of other self interest groups, the tax exemptions, the right to hide crimes committed by workers and followers under some pseudo bullsh1t confession? No group, especially those groups with NO foundation in reality should have ANY special rights. There is NO foundation for religion to be treated and different than a Dungeons & Dragons collective, the only difference is the D&D collective knows it is just fantasy. This right ONLY guarantees a special right for religious people and NO-ONE else, so stop lying it is for all Australians when it is patently not. Appears you have problems understanding the written word, BigOl64. As I've said, you're welcome to try a referendum proposal. However, don't expect the Churches/Synagogues/Mosques/Temples/Stone Circles/etc. to agree with you. You will be faced with opposition from the Pulpits across the nation and in the MSM from the Bolter and co. Tone Rabbit will oppose you in Parliament. I'll watch the bun fight with considerable interest. You are entitled to your ignorance and misunderstanding about how the Constitution works and who it affects. If you get your Referendum up, good on you but don't be surprised that the next Prime Minister will attempt to impose a state controlled and owned Religion all Australian citizens. Freedom of Religion and Worship (including by the way, the right to not practice religion at all) is a fundamental right of a modern, liberal democracy. Before we give up such a fundamental right, people tend to think long and hard about it. Personally, I'll be voting against your Referendum unless some serious protections are put in place to prevent dictates about what I and other Australians can or cannot worship or where we can build a Church/Mosque/Synagogue/Temple/Stone Circle. Gee, something like Section 116 in fact, to prevent persecution of people on the basis of their religious beliefs. What and have the same non-rights as everyone who isn't a deluded religious nut, how terrible for you. You keep lying to try and cover up the fact the somehow this right if for everyone, when it most obviously isn't. But more and more people are turning away for the delusion of a bullsh1t god, and eventually religion will be nothing more than a joke and the referendum will put it in it's proper place. I may not see that day, but it is come that's for sure. And it shall be a great day indeed, those criminal organisations will not longer have sect 116 to hide behind.
