Werribee shame

submitted to SMH
From the lack of any reporting to the contrary, I can only conclude that those sub-human bastards from
Werribee are of traditional Australian white stock. We would have heard about it if they werent. Does this also explain the lack of interest in the Letters page?

Who U Callin' Jesus???

submitted to smh

John Brennan's letter ( 23/10) did have some reasonable points, but to compare Allan Jones plight to that of Jesus Christ is ludicrous. Jesus did not remorselessly attack those whom he did not agree with, nor threaten nor bully; netiher was the Sermon on the Mount sponsored by corporate interests, nor influenced by "crib notes" from the rabbinate or the court of Herod.

Prayer economies

submitted to SMH
Harrold Stewart (letters 10 Oct) beseeches us to pray at each meal saying that God will use our prayers to save our farmers and their produce. Does He weigh up the crisis to be alleviated based on volume of prayer?

Perhaps chuches could set up premium phone services, priced competitive to Idol or Big Brother so punters could put their money where their prayer is; help with famine relief for africa, global warming, world peace, domestic drought relief, priests' retirement funds, or whatever the crisis de jour happens to be. A standard "issue specific" prayer that those out of practice can use comes thru the phone; money is collected to help alleviate the "crisis" specified; and technology can help introduce a prayerless generation to the practice.
