Out of their own mouths

Mrs Amanda J. Tan, Doonside NSW, letter in Good Report, May/July 2007, 17:
Unless [Genesis] creation is taught in Australian schools, Australia will become more and more atheistic, truth will be only relative, and this will lead to the further decline in ethical values in Australia, and the further chaos and breakdown of our functioning society … The teaching of creation will help restore ethical values and decency and blessing in Australia.
[Amanda, why would the abandonment of science lead to anything other than a new Dark Age?]
Julie Jordan ‘The ABCs for a Lasting Marriage’, ibid., 20:
You might say that you don’t hear [God] speaking to you, but may I ask you: Have you done what He told you to do the last time you spent time with Him? Did He convict you about some sin that you are unwilling to give up? It could be gossiping, greed, malice, evil desires, envy, laziness, pride, arrogance, unwillingness to forgive, idolatry, hatred, to name a few.
['A few'! Kind of makes you wonder why a 'good' god would permit the existence of such a degraded creation. Must be one of those 'mysteries' that Christian theologians are so fond of running up against.]
