THE decision to remove Israel Folau's crowdfunding page ('Campaign shutdown 'is discrimination'', Newcastle Herald 25/6) is making me think there really may be a God after all.

I READ the letters page of the Herald every day. I like the banter, the stern letters, but I cannot handle letters like that from Craig Budden (Short Takes, 22/6).
Apparently you have no aged or out of work family members, and therefore have no idea what you are talking about.
I have aged friends who through no fault of their own basically live from pension to pension.
Same goes for a majority of those getting the dole. What you should do is get up and go to the various soup kitchens around town.
Lots are doing it hard.
To the above, we should add women and men trying to raise children after a marriage break-up.
Mr Budden, please think before you put fingers to keyboard next time. They aren't all in as good state financially as it seems you are.

CARL Stevenson (Letters, 22/6), am I to believe you are of the opinion that the smoky water vapour stuff coming from the cooling towers at the power stations is in fact greenhouse gas?
Then all the water in the oceans, rivers and lakes is in fact condensed greenhouse gas. That's how your letter reads.
So what happens to the murky black stuff they burn in the boilers which comes out the little chimneys near the cooling towers?
I always thought that the boiler stack was the greenhouse gas exhaust. Curious.

I FIND Ian King (Letters, 21/6) a great example of "don't criticise my opinion, but I can have a go at you" writing about his angst over Scott Morrison's standing in the community and what we should do about it.
He continued to berate two Opposition MPs and a former one.
In my opinion we can only hope Mr Morrison lifts his game and sincerely lives up to his convictions.
I am not holding my breath.

YES Beverly Page (Short Takes, 24/6), people like Don Fraser (Short Takes, 20/6) conveniently forget what they don't want to know about.
I wonder if he will still be cheering in three years time when Australia is a basket case after this LNP governments time is over.

JOHN Arnold (Letters, 24/6) says that Christianity is dying in relevance because Christians are hypocrites.
The vast majority of welfare agencies in Australia that support those in poverty are funded by the churches, and although more Australians do not believe in God it remains the largest religion in the world.
It is considered that China will be the largest Christian congregation on earth by 2030 (Telegraph, 19/4).

JOHN Arnold (Letters, 24/6), it's a failed tactic to bag Scott Morrison about his religious beliefs. Ask Bill Shorten.
And is it fair to criticise Christians for not embracing the green/left agenda as the kingdom of God when so many of the green/left believe in neither God nor His kingdom?
