I think it's clear to all and sundry that a The Greens and their supporters to a man dislike the Christian Church.
They go out of their way to criticise it and undermine any tradition related to the Church.

I find it all a little nasty they seem to hate the whole institution of the Church.

Which church?

The Dutch Reform Church which dreamed up apartheid?

What's your point? Clearly the constitution does not contain the Lords Prayer, as you claimed it did. The text in your link doesn't at all support your position. Perhaps you should have read it before posting. Grin

The High Court has not ruled on the legality of the prayer being read at the start of parliament.

From your link: "The ‘religious observance’ clause would be the most appropriate basis for a hypothetical claim of unconstitutionality against parliamentary prayers. The difficulty is that the High Court has never interpreted the clause….. Parliamentary prayers may well be constitutional but they should not be. In fact, the Commonwealth, as a democratic polity, should not sponsor any religion. Any such sponsorship offends against the accustomed community rights of a majority of Australians who believe that the Constitution protects the right to freedom of thought and conscience just like it protects other civil and political freedoms."

Which god are they praying to here?
The christian one who lets his priests rape children?
The muslim one who lets them send children in front of soldiers to trip any land mines?
The old testament one who think jews are a special race of humans and encourages abraham to slaughter his son?
No god of these people will ever be a god of mine!
Made us in his image did he?
That says it all! Angry

The Lord's Prayer in Federal Parliament is an anachronism, according to Greens senator Richard di Natale, who is calling to have the prayer scrapped.

The acting Greens leader announced on Tuesday that when Parliament returns in February, he will move to end the reading of prayers at the start of each sitting day.

He will ask the Senate's Procedure Committee to amend the standing orders and look to his Greens colleague Adam Bandt to do the same in the Lower House.

"We have a very clear separation between church and state in this country and the fact that we say the Lord's Prayer in the Australian Parliament, it is an anachronism," he told reporters in Canberra.

Senator di Natale said that "modern" Australia was made up of people who had different ideas about religion.

"We are here to represent everybody. We're here to represent people of all faiths. People who don't have a strong religious faith," he said.

Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!haven't we had enough of these dick heads doing sweet FA with our tax dollars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
