It was already obvious that the Dominion Post has become a female,
feminist fiefdom.
So it comes as no surprise to get a peek in the editorial (February
28) at the covert religious bigotry which hides behind feminism in the
line, “Bridges ... goes to church and his father was a Baptist minister”.
An overview of family resilience and good child outcomes by the Ministry of
Social Development shows "transcendent beliefs” (like
Christianity) “offer clarity and solace in distress; they render unexpected
events less threatening and enable acceptance of situations which cannot be
changed. ...
"A considerable body of evidence documents a link between religion and marital stability, adjustment and happiness. ... Regular church attendance was negatively associated with spousal domestic violence,” etc.

Given the sad reading in the Dominion Post – arson in the
playground, misappropriation of DHB funds, neglect of childhood trauma, drug
companies behaving like criminals - a leader of the Opposition equipped with the
advantages of a Christian upbringing may well build bridges to walk right over
this unprincipled coalition government and into the office of Prime
Minister.
