The separation of church and state is an old concept in western civilisation.
Are parliament's prayers delivered by a church clergyman? Is that a religious activity? If so, the imposed religion is equal to protecting Aboriginal religious values for Wollumbin peak.
Parliament has the Lord's prayer followed by:
"39. (1) The Speaker or the Clerk shall read the following prayer after the Speaker takes the Chair each day.
"Almighty God, we ask for your blessing upon this Parliament. Direct and prosper our deliberations to the true welfare of Australia and the people of New South Wales. Amen."
That directly attributes national and state prosperity to the Christian god. It's a form of religious dictatorship to refuse a mountain top to be declared a site of another belief. A couple of world wars were fought for liberty, (including for Jews).
Back to meaningless gibberish eh?
You have not pointed out a single imposed religious view. I keep asking you what these views are that you think are being imposed, but you always respond with meaningless gibberish.
What are aborigines being protected from?
You are a hypocrit. You claim you do not support the government imposing one group's religious views on everyone else. yet you go out of your way to look for excuses to do so. This is not rational chimera. An excuse is not the same thing as a reason. It merely demonstrates you lack any courage to stand behind your convictions.
You already said that, FD. Chimera told you MPs are having the Lord's Prayer imposed on them in parliament.
What if they were Satan worshippers or possessed by evil spirits? They might suffer an involuntary exorcism. The results of this could be catastrophic.
This means that only monotheists can become MPs - a serious breach of our Freeeeeedom as I'm sure you'll agree.
The only thing Gladys is imposing on you is a lockdown of a national park during covid. Our MPs have to suffer the Lord's Prayer being intoned into their sculls every time they sit in parliament.
Are you opposed to this or are you a bit of a naughty old hypocrite?
A simple yes or no will suffice.
