Being an racist Australian (those two are interchangeable nowadays) I initially thought this story must have come out of Central Africa. But no, instead it's a purely Australian one. Fuck the Labor party for getting in bed with these pricks.

'Evil spells are being cast on Parliament'

A FORMER political running mate of Family First senator Steve Fielding says dark forces are casting spells on Federal Parliament / File
A FORMER political running mate of Family First senator Steve Fielding says dark forces are casting spells on Federal Parliament.

Catch the Fire Ministries pastor Daniel Nalliah has organised a "prayer offensive'' to combat evil forces including witchcraft, homosexuality and abortion.

The discovery of a "black mass altar'' at Mount Ainslie in Canberra by a group of school students had inspired him to organise a prayer gathering at the area on Saturday.

"The type of altar discovered on Mount Ainslie pointed to a black mass and the work of dark forces wanting to cast spells on Australia and federal Parliament,'' Mr Nalliah said.

"These days people don't think the Devil is real but we have seen the bad effects of the spiritual being known as Satan and we believe there is a spiritual fight over the nation of Australia being fought in the heavens.''

Asked what evidence of Satan there was in Parliament, Mr Nalliah said: "The number of politicians who have serious marriage problems.''

Legislation supporting homosexuality, abortion and a push for a Bill of rights were other areas where Mr Nallian said the devil was having influence.

"Me trying to explain it to you is like trying to teach a cricketer how to play soccer,'' Mr Nalliah said.

He said 100 Christians from across Australia would be at Mount Ainslie this weekend.

"Our main reason for going to Mount Ainslie is to pull down the strongholds of the Devil to repent and pray against any evil done in our land including the adverse effects of witchcraft, homosexuality and, of course, the devastation of abortion, so that God will save our land.''

Senator Fielding and Mr Nalliah occupied the first and second spots on Family First's Victorian Senate ticket in 2004.

But Senator Fielding, who was elected to the Senate with Labor preferences, said Mr Nalliah had been asked to leave the party in late 2004.

"Family First has had no connection with Danny Nalliah since he was asked to leave the party five years ago after he made demeaning comments about a minority group,'' Senator Fielding said.

"He has no voice in Family First.''

Asked about Senator Fielding, Mr Nalliah said his former running mate did not have a long-term political career because of his failure to defend the nuclear family.

"He won't get re-elected because the Christian vote won't be there for him,'' he said.

"Steve has not been standing up for the Christian cause.''

Clearly we need to organize some kind of counter-mass. Get a bunch of guys to go up dressed in black hooded robes with fake blood stains and corpsepaint, and pray for the deaths of these people for praying against them. Ideally with lots of red candles and scary nonsense chanting.

Two words: "student prank"

Seriously, we used to do shit like that ALL the time when I was a kid (the fact I also was into witchcraft was almost unrelated) And for these Christian nutcases, anything other than their church-approved worship style is "black mass" and "satan" anyhow.

"These days people don't think the Devil is real but we have seen the bad effects of the spiritual being known as Satan and we believe there is a spiritual fight over the nation of Australia being fought in the heavens.''

He sounds like OUR batshit crazy preachers over here! I didn't know you had Bible thumpers in Australia!

Well, then elect people who aren't married! Problem solved, right?

OK, I understand the objection to homosexuality and abortion, even if I don't agree, but a push for a Bill of Rights is a work of the devil?!?

[weemadando]

Because a Bill of Rights in Australia would cement, amongst other things - Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion (sadly, not Freedom FROM Religion). But you can see where crazy fundie opposition to such concepts may spring from.

I didn't know you had Bible thumpers in Australia!

Apparently, they do; their worst are almost as bad as our worst. For instance, Ken Ham was an Australian schoolteacher; Answers in Genesis is originally an Australian organization.

Maybe Senator Fielding can also leave the parliament after he made demeaning comments about a minority group (homosexuals). Oops. I guess he should just continue to work on PHYSICAL policy, er he means FISKAL policy, er maybe he should just work on how not to butcher the English language.

[Stark]

Fucking Family Fascists. It really is sad that a bunch of such openly insane lunatics can have any support whatever.

[Zixinus]

Holy shit, for a moment I thought this was an Onion article. This isn't crazy any more, this is just cartoonish. I mean, seriously, I didn't do stuff like Broomstick but even I can tell its just prank.

What's next I wonder, asking the Catholic church for St.John's pelvis to combat the forces of darkness?

And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled
I can smell a campfire under a tree........... or maybe a burnt out Commodore...

We even have political subversive evangelical cults! My ex-girlfriend lived across the road from an Exclusive Brethren compound.

Apparently the "Black Mass Altar" was a steel bollard in a carpark with some sticky red fluid on it. Did someone drop the sauce at a BBQ? Bogan park a tiger on it after drinking a cask of red and doing burnouts?

No. It's clearly devil worshippers.

[Nieztchean Uber-Amoeba]

That's a sound example of logical induction at work.
