Policy Season

Not only is there a Federal Election on the way (although you might be hard pressed to call some of our politician’s submissions “policies”), but Paulie has taken up the ultimate irony and copied my policy-writing idea with (wait for it..) a copyright policy. Apparently some scum-sucking blogger has flogged poor little Paulie’s post “The Australian Public doesn’t click with Jesus” – quite understandably I might add. It’s a comment on the recent hoo-hah surrounding the “Jesus Loves Osama” baptist church signs. From the post:

You wouldn’t have thought that something like this would surprise me. But it did. Maybe it’s the church kid in me. See, I’ve grown up in an environment where, even if people did an absolutely pathetic job of practicing what they preach, the essence of the Christian message – the Gospel of grace and forgiveness – was always something that I’ve been hearing about. It actually hadn’t occurred to me that most people actually don’t have the same experience. After 23 years as a church participant, I’m very accustomed to the idea of forgiving the undeserving and the guilty.

Go over and cheer poor little Paul up with some encouraging words. After all – it can’t be easy being an auditor.
