We have not fallen off the face of the earth, just too much on. Auckland Bloggers drinks was very cool, extremely packed out and seriously a who’s who of blogging – for a list of who may or may not have been present see Ryan Sproull’s write up of the night.
We then went straight into the Family First Forum on Friday followed by dinner and drinks with a few bloggers, bloupies and others at the forum.
Then we hung out with Andy Moore who stayed with us til last night. Then we began writing blog posts but then it was 1am and we were not finished… church now so check in later.
If you want some Family First Forum tidbits, Big News has a few posts, Andy Moore has done a write up and if you are friends with David Farrar on Facebook he has half a dozen cryptic comments about things MP’s said on his front page, things said to MP’s that he Facebooked from the Forum (not that he conceded where he was):
David Farrar Just met a young guy from Destiny Church. Asked him his role there and he said he was bodyguard for Brian Tamaki. Hope he is paid well!
David Farrar Heh. Someone inro’d themself to a MP as the No 1 NZ Christian Blogger. [No idea who that might have been…] I quipped that must make me the No 1 hedonistic blogger 🙂
David Farrar Goff has just said he used to smack his kids
David Farrar Rankin just attacked Goff big time. Not sure that is wise for a Families Commissioner.
David Farrar My name twin, David Farrier, is sitting next to me. Still can’t believe people sometimes confuse us!
David Farrar Heh John Key just said that he is happy to announce they are keeping the H in Helensville 🙂
David Farrar Six questions so far to John Key – all on smacking so far. There are other issues!
We’ll get our official report on the forum up later today.

A common objection to belief in the God of the Bible is that a good, kind, and loving deity would never command the wholesale slaughter of nations. In the tradition of his popular Is God a Moral Monster?, Paul Copan teams up with Matthew Flannagan to tackle some of the most confusing and uncomfortable passages of Scripture. Together they help the Christian and nonbeliever alike understand the biblical, theological, philosophical, and ethical implications of Old Testament warfare passages.
David Farrier ( thats DAF, not DPF – the former being the one with more hair on his face) was also tweeting. Heres a couple of goodies
“Sort of amazed that an afternoon spent listening to Phil Goth and John Key whilst eating carrot cake could be such a thrill”
“at forum on the family conference: abortion bad. marriage good. sex mostly bad but really good when married. smacking… excellent”

When did anyone say anything about sex at the Forum?

[…] disingenuous, which is what evoked the scathing (and justified) attack from Christine Rankin that David Farrar referred to on his Facebook […]
