The difference is found in the later books of the bible vs the later books of the Qu'ran.

The old Testament is well known for being full of blood and gore (and all the interesting stuff) and the New Testament has the section on the 10 commandments:

"Hold no god above me and love thy neighbhour as yourself"

There is no such provision in the later haddiths in the Qu'ran.

Then there's all the peaceful trucks, suicide bombers, beheadings etc.

Next up is Easter with the rabbits and eggs. Almost as if these symbols are inherited from an earlier pagan harvest festival.

Reminder, this thread is about Christopher Luxon, and not a general discussion on religion.

Fair enough, but almost anything is more interesting than Christopher Luxon.

Does Jacinda know you feel this way about her?

Agreed but still.

I'm not a Christian, so I'm not bound by that.

Besides, when it comes to her - I'm more of an 'Eye-for-an-Eye'.

So when she's been striped of her lawfully owned property for the actions of someone else, when she's forced to stay home, when she's denied entry to establishments on someone else's say-so - then, perhaps, the debt will have been paid.

WTF Luxton should be owning the news cycle....

It comes after the latest Newshub-Reid Research poll showed a significant boost for Labour since Chris Hipkins became the party's leader and Prime Minister.

Labour was up 5.7 points to 38 percent while National was down 4.1 points to 36.6 percent.

The results show 52.9 percent - a majority - said they trust Hipkins, while 26.9 percent didn't trust him. For Luxon, only 36.9 percent said they trust him, while 43.8 percent said, no they don't.

Hipkins has always appeared to be a limp fish but it seems the voters think Luxton is a damp squid.

Surely Dog will favour Luxon?

Kneel and pray by the side of your bed.
Kneel and pray, just like your mumma said.

Luxon has just thrown himself under the bus jumping on the green bandwagon.... all he had to do was keep his mouth shut....
But no he’s all for green energy. What does green energy mean for small business owners and taxpayers??? It means unreliable and more expensive electricity. Wind and solar are unviable without govt subsidy which means taxpayers paying twice for electricity.
He also says we need to make twice as much power as we do now to go green... that’s because of storage losses via battery networks or pumped hydro etc.
Apparently it’s red tape stopping all this from happening but more likely it’s because private’s enterprise sees it as a loss making venture.
All he had to do was revamp Muldoon think big and build some new mega hydro dams to future proof us and create jobs at same time.

The Bible speaks of bowing in prayer, kneeling on one's face before God, standing, sitting and walking. The most important thing isn't the position of the body but the condition of the soul. If the heart is attuned to God, one can pray in any posture imaginable. 10% before Rome takes its share.
