Cardy, as leader of the God-Optional wing of the Anglican Church, is never one for consistency. These "progressives" have a very flexible and situational theology.<br /><br />The point needs to made and made again. Would have he put up a poster mocking Islam, Hinduism, or Buddhism?Michael Wyndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09265843761031363440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38893560.post-30691158286038224202009-12-18T21:45:27.351+13:002009-12-18T21:45:27.351+13:00Mr Tips,

Therefore, the response has to be to say clearly what our position on the whole thing is.<br /><br />For instance: <br /><br />1) the poster was inappropriate and offensive.<br />2) that does not excuse the vandalism and theft was was done.<br />3) however, we are not surprised someone was incensed enough to vandalise the poster.<br /><br />Point 3, unfortunately, requires further explanation, as secular society can't really see what was so offensive in the poster that it would inspire such strong feelings.<br /><br />Ironic, too, that we've recently had the provocation defence removed.Lucia Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10485990994973953860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38893560.post-91495236033099619502009-12-18T16:41:34.270+13:002009-12-18T16:41:34.270+13:00I wonder if the poster portrays his aversion to th...I wonder if the poster portrays his aversion to the oppressive patriarchal institution of marriage and the stuffy old concepts of heterosexuality and monogamy?bruddahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11897131063512083646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38893560.post-56944666218206577342009-12-18T16:38:36.418+13:002009-12-18T16:38:36.418+13:00On Waitangi Day perhaps Mr. Cardy will bravely put...On Waitangi Day perhaps Mr. Cardy will bravely put up a poster mocking Maori culture?
