There’s an article in today’s CT about God chatting to Pocock and informing him that he will be PM some day. God has done some sh1tty things, but I don’t think even he would stoop that low.

I’d pay good money to see the look on Pocock’s face if his God was a she not a he.

I’ve been involved in the mental health area, both studying it and as a client and Pocock’s behaviour – either thinking you are Jesus Christ or hearing voices (supposedly from God) telling you to do things or that you will hold a position of power is classic delusional and psychotic behaviour associated with schizophrenia.

Are people willing to vote for someone who is mentally ill and exhibiting such irrational thoughts and behaviour?.

That’s all well and good if one has had a Christian upbringing.
If one is a disciple of another religion, whose voice do they hear?
Does a Hinduist for example feel the desire to listen to Ronald McDonald and go to Maccas.
Do atheists hear the voice of God?

Read the following sentence in pink:
“Atheists hear the voice of god every day, in all the things they love…including science.”*

*My new part-time job is writing for Hallmark in the USA. It may evolve into a full time job, if I don’t use words like ‘evolve’, and everything passes the cheap emotion test. Damn, I spelt God with a small ‘g’. I’m out*

*This is all a lie.

But is interesting to look back to Jeanne d’Arc and the voice that told her to drive the English from France. Who are we to apply modern interpretations of mental illness to a society that believed in these things?

Seriously though, god doesn’t have a gender, a colour, or even a beard. IMHO. And the idea that a Christian would hold hard to divisions based on race or gender or sexual preference is pretty horrible. I’m thinking Peter Jensen on the gender/sexual preference bit, not just Philip Pocock.

I like the idea of a heaven having golden arches like the Scottish restaurant. Do you want wings with that?

Well if you removed people from the ballot based on this statement there wouldn’t be anyone left to vote for.

So, if you were convicted of something based on the “expert” testimony of Pocock, who has now outed himself as being a raving nutter, would you have grounds for appeal…?

Bonus points if God was a homosexual, a fabulous one.

Imagine Mully Cup winners as an awesome political party with Alan Jones as senior advisor & publicity manager?
Scariest thing about Pocock is he has been used as an “expert” witness in court cases.

Didn’t think it possible but this has gotten a whole lot more disturbing, from Noel Towell:

‘Mr Pocock has written to The Canberra Times, saying that God has assured him he will be prime minister one day and that the population was being ridiculed on gay issues by a self deluded media and academia.’

I am in favour of freedom of speech, not matter how vile the views are. Earlier, I was personally unsure of the condition of this fella’s mental health. Now I am quite concerned.
