We're still a british country, we just need self-governance due to the great distance and hugely different conditions.
Also, if we were to change the flag it would be abo shit and there are many more brits in this country who have contributed much more.

not an argument

What does the queen even do for australia and canada? Does she have weekly appointments with the pm like for the uk?

u guys truly were da gretist -wipes tear- I don't forget france neither, and poland, you too! Lets all get in for a group photo!

She appoints the governor-general.

I can't wait til Australia becomes le 55% percent so we'll stop getting called mutts.

Sorry, Aussies, but dink immigration is for the greater good.

You'll be indeterminate% at that point.

I support HM the Queen and Her rightful Sovereignty over our commonwealth. If nothing else, the Queen/GG/Parliament setup makes a very effective political circuit breaker on the rare occasions things actually do go wrong here.

literally no good flags in the world except based Christian Nordic flags.. Finnish flag of course is the best because it is about freedom (in the anti-commie sense), Finnland and Christianity

I'm still waiting for literally any religious person to give me an actual reason to obey God

Just how autistic does one have to be to take pride in a piece of cloth hanging from a pole?

Cretins need masters.

Yeah nah I'm not doing your research for you, do you have an answer for me or are you just another gullible cuck?

You know that the GG position is in the CIA's pocket, right? It's a very effective circuit breaker for our American overlords.

Based and redpilled

I've certainly heard of it, shit was definitely fucked during the seventies but I'm willing to believe we've improved since then.

Holy shit

good post

Yeah, you're not doing research. Manchildren just refuse to grow up. Thing is, these things can't be explained in 2000 characters. And I doubt you would even read any more than 140 characters.
Evidence for God
1. The Kalam cosmological argument
2. The fine-tuning of life
3. Objective moral values
4. The life, death and resurrection of Christ and the evidence surrounding it

You think that the US has become less technically competent and established in Australia rather than more?

Australia has improved but Americans have only gotten worse

None of those are existence for your deity, user.
Isn't it about time you grew up and faced reality?

>None of those are existence for your deity, user.
Number 4 is though?

Its worth pointing out that despite the salacious headline nothing in this article or the document it is based on lends any credence to the idea of CIA interference in the 1975 constitutional crisis.

Mate, I've actually given you the benefit of the doubt and taken your premise of God existing as real.
My question here is why I, or indeed anyone else, should listen to and obey his word?

True, yet the circumstantial evidence and the mark similarity to other CIA ops in other countries in this decade is not insignificant.

The purpose of life is to serve God. After our lives are over we will be judged accordingly.

A very valid point, but I counter by asking you whether the US would really risk compromising its relationship with Australia simply because it was worried we wouldn't follow them into Vietnam, many of her European allies refused to participate and dont appear to have suffered any kind of retaliation for doing so.

And on what basis do you determine that the purpose of life is to serve God? Remember that to claim Gods authority as an answer to the question of Gods authority would be circular logic and thus completely fail to answer the question in the first place.

God is an all-loving, all-knowing being and because of that we should trust His judgement

>political circuit breaker
stealing this :)

So if man were to create an all knowing AI and teach it love would it then have authority equal to that of God Almighty?

Your welcome, I'm actually quite proud of that turn of phrase and very excited to hear that it might be spreading.

The AI would then come up with the same laws that God came up with. However, the AI is not omnipotent so it can not damn you to Hell or raise you to Heaven

So Gods Authority rests then on His ability to Raise you to Heaven or Damn you to hell as He pleases?

lol why dont u suck off god if u love him so much fag

Gods authority rests on the fact that He is the one true God, the omnipotent God.

Absolutely they would. To far greater extents, with worst impacts. American meddling in Australia is minimal compared to the long subterfuge campaigns they were getting on with in Italy and West Germany. And Japan and South Korea. And what the Americans did to the post-Soviet and Yugoslav nations is the worst of it all, that drives me to tears. I recommend reading into American's election interference and social engineering in all of these countries.

Really, Australia cops the least of it of America's best friends, no doubt because we're perfectly comfortable playing the lapdog. Hell, New Zealand's suffered far worse fallout for daring to defy their American masters.

Ah but you see we only have Gods word that he is in fact the one true God, which means we are right back where we started since, if we dont have any reason to trust Gods word in the first place, we have no reason to believe Him when He tells us to.

Descartes in his Meditations on first philosophy tried to prove that God has given Himself all the abilities He needs and therefore He is all loving and therefore He can not be a deceiver. But I didn't really understand it. Maybe you should try reading it and see if you can understand better.

I'll add it to the list, but I have to get through some works from Locke and Hobbes first, theology is not my primary reason for going into philosophy, just something that happened to catch my eye along the way. Thanks for actually taking the time to argue with me though, you wouldn't believe how rare that actually is!

Yeah, it's frustrating when people resort to memes or ad hominems. I'm a beginner though and I've only recently begun to try to find God so I'm probably not the best person to debate with.

Republicans make me sick.
