No, I didn’t crawl back to Jesus or anything. I identified that was just feeling a bit shit. Therefore comments are now closed and no further discussion will be entered into.

&lt;p&gt;You can understand the peace and comfort that comes from being religious. The idea that at the end of the life on this planet that you can then go on and live an eternal life of peace and happiness is so inviting.

I attended church because I wanted to, and I thought that what they said sounded good and true.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Census 2011 – Let’s use religion to scare the Christmas carols off you</title><link>https://archive.nickperkins.au/nicholosophy/498/</link><pubDate>Tue, 09 Aug 2011 11:39:56 +1000</pubDate><guid>https://archive.nickperkins.au/nicholosophy/498/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;I’ve seen this on Facebook a few times and it really gets my goat.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;AUSTRALIA WILL BE HOLDING A CENSUS IN AUGUST&lt;br&gt;
DO NOT LEAVE THE “RELIGION” SECTION BLANK. BE SURE TO AT LEAST TICK CHRISTIAN (OR YOUR OWN FAITH).&lt;br&gt;
1,000,000 MUSLIMS WILL TICK THEIR BOX.&lt;br&gt;
10,000,000 AUSTRALIANS WILL LEAVE IT BLANK THEN WONDER WHY CHRISTMAS CAROLS ARE BEING BANNED IN SCHOOLS!&lt;br&gt;
PASS THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS.&lt;br&gt;
IT’S NOT ABOUT RELIGION, IT’S ABOUT KEEPING OUR WAY OF LIFE .&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
