Dear @GuySebastian ,

please allow me to introduce myself
I am Jen.
Jen the Atheist Defender of the faiths

Growing up... I had an enormous amount of religious education, MOSTLY BY MY CHOICE and I am extremely grateful for it.

I am an Atheist ... because I don't believe in
2.

in Deities ...

I do though believe in much of what is said in the bible... as in how people should treat one another.. and the things that should matter in this life, what things we should value and what things are not really worth valuing.

I believe in the words of
3.

compassion and empathy that are written in the New Testament...

AND because I believe in these things... I strongly defend those people of faith who do their best to live by what they consider to be the teachings of Jesus Christ.

The people I defend from attacks on their
4.

faith , are good people, are warm people .. are compassionate people who would do anything they could for others ... if others needed something. They support people who support others... They are good people.

Now.. I see you nodding your head behind Scott Morrison , he
5.

Claims to be a Christian and while he may have convinced others AND HIMSELF that he is one... he really doesn't match up very well with the things that I learned from the bible about how people should treat one another.

Christianity is not meant to be about BIG FLASHY
5.
Colosseum like buildings, with impressive stage lighting and seat capacity for thousands and thousands of people.. places that have cost MEGA MILLIONS of dollars ( some of those dollars being tax payers money) ... WHEN PEOPLE ARE A HOMELESS ...WHEN PEOPLE ARE HUNGRY... WHEN
6.
PEOPLE ARE BEING HELD IN DETENTION FOR MANY YEARS.... for simply fleeing from persecution... and arriving by boats...

Joseph, Mary , and Jesus were refugees ...fleeing to Egypt to escape Herod's persecution .

I guess what I am getting to is ...
How the hell can you stand
7.
behind Scott Morrison and nod your head away like one of those dreadfully kitsch bobble-headed dashboard figurines ... when he is the character that he is..when he has said and done the things he has ... when he has not slapped down some of the awful behaviours of those who
8.
are in his party...

There are those on Twitter ...currently saying that it should be of no surprise that that is what you would be doing ....
That you are no different to the Scott Morrisons who claim a faith and then ignore the teachings..

I'd like to be able to defend you
9.
and the faith you hold.

I've seen you do good things... but... if you are true to your faith ...how can you do anything that can be deemed as supporting Scott Morrison ...

tell me .. where is his compassion..where is his empathy
where is his humanity..
where is his support
10.

for minorities ... for those fleeing persecution... from those who are down trodden...

and tell me why he is such an arrogant twat... because being one ... is contrary to how Christ taught people to behave
