Kiwis Under Seige

You might have missed it, but apparently New Zealand, the land of Kiwis and Hobbits (and Narnians, I believe), is under siege. That's the word from Bishop Brian Tamaki, whose Destiny Church has spawned a Destiny Party. Tamaki looks quite personable on the church website --but looks like he stepped out of Orwell's 1984 or The Manchurian Candidate on this asite.

According to the New Zealand Herald, Bishop Tamaki's four reasons that New Zealand is under siege are:

• The Government has "gone evil".
  
• There is a "radical homosexual agenda".
  
• The media is "modern day witchcraft" and a vehicle for evil ideologies.
  
• The retreat of religion in New Zealand.
  

Apparently, the solution is to have Christians take over.

The Probligo is worried about this.

I would be too.

On a lighter note, I see from the Probligo that criminal masterminds are at work in New Zealand.

Here's Probligo's complete post from August 30:


Three men trying to steal fuel from a Waipukurau farm yesterday ended up setting fire to their own car.

Police said the trio siphoned diesel into a petrol-driven vehicle. When their car would not start, they examined the fuel pipe using a cigarette lighter. Boom, and the car burst into flames.

Senior Sergeant Ross Gilbert said: "Fortunately for them, there is no criminal charge for stupidity."

The men, aged 18 to 19, escaped injury but were charged with theft.
