One more time, in English?
What I got out of the last couple full paragraphs is that Australian liberals
act like American conservatives: Claim to believe in something that they are not
following, claim to speak for the deity when the Book is pretty clear about how
they want the opposite of what their deity commanded, and attempt to build a
pseudo-theocracy (similar to what the Taliban and Al-Qaida have done) based on
what one party claims is right rather than what
is right. Amusing irony
is that American conservatives claim that American liberals don't follow
religion at all and are godless heathens, while the liberals in deed rather than
word alone do what the Book says to do -- love one another, help immigrants and
the poor, and unite rather than divide.

Peter,
"Australian liberals act like American conservatives" and pretend to
admire them.
"Claim to believe in something that they are not following" yes.
"they want the opposite of what [the] deity commanded" yes, as taught
by 'liberal theologians'.
"attempt to build a pseudo-theocracy" someone is. I heard talk of a
'global theocracy' a long time ago, but don't know enough. It would make for a
simpler picture, but as I said, I
don't know.
"similar to what the Taliban and Al-Qaida have done" don't get me
started son. Really. I don't think it would be constructive given
Islamic
State: Inside the Terror, by Vice in Canada exists. If that's your subject
I recommend it. Comprehend what they're saying.

I should add: wanting to build a global theocracy is treason in every country.
Treason carries the death penalty in the Australian Constitution.

Treason
4.3
The Act moved the offence of treason from the Crimes Act 1914 into the Criminal
Code, replaced the death penalty with life imprisonment; and removed gender
specific references to the sovereign.

Australia does not have the death penalty.

To add to the above image:
Either you judge politics in the light of religion and adjust it to suit, or you
judge religion in the light of politics and adjust it to suit. Either of these
may be replaced with fashion.
Christ promoted divorce if it turned out your spouse fornicated (and you
hadn't). Government sets an age of consent (here where I am, at 16). If you've
attempted to follow Christ and been accused of 'pride', and been told 'pride is
a sin!';
Or:
Someone commits a crime carrying the death penalty, the law is changed after the
fact, by the guilty, who pretend all is made right, and you are told to show
'reconciliation', 'love' and 'forgiveness';
Those are examples of judging religion in the light of political decisions and
adjusting it to suit.
