Flags a 'great witness' from Bridgetown Flag Waver appeared in this weeks Donnybrook-Bridgetown Mail. It read:
At a time when everyone stands up for everything, why is it when a small town in the Christian nation of Australia proclaims the true meaning of Easter, they are constantly harassed and put down ? The flags at the entrance to town have been there for many years now and are a great witness to those in and around town. It is only in recent years that there has been opposition to them. Christians in Bridgetown, please support these Easter flags and show others that there is a reason to celebrate Easter.
Well, firstly, I believe Australia is a secular nation. Section 116 of the Constitution expressly prohibits the Commonwealth from establishing a religion, requiring or prohibiting religious practice, or imposing any religious test for public office. Not only does it depart from English practice, it goes beyond the First Amendment in the US constitution, which only forbids laws establishing a religion or prohibiting free religious practice.
Secondly, I find your comment 'great witness' a bit of a sinister 'Revelation'. Are you one of the annoying JW's that interupted my holiday weekend by coming to my door uninvited ?
Haven't you got your 144,000 yet ? Please don't inflict your noxious cult on us free thinking and rational Bridgetown residents.
