100%.

Doesn't matter the country.

Do you work for a living?

Do you want to live without fear of governments and corporations breathing down your neck waiting to make an example of you or profit from you?

...Then we should be on the same side. Simple as.

Good-natured jabs aside, of course. ;) Love ya, Brits. <3

What does it even mean? I mean the "glow" part.

I think it simply means they're pretty, radiant, stunning. :)

...or have absorbed a crazy amount of radiation ☢️.

Lol but yeah, the song seems to mainly be about the splendor of Australia, its abundance, and warm friendliness to outsiders, as the singer's perspective seems to be.

You're not alone, kindred spirit! Even when I knew the correct lyrics, I still hear it.

And when I learned about "dunder" or "double underscore" methods in Python, my first thoughts were:

It'd be great if all these things came up as suggestions for auto-complete whenever people searched him up.

...with little scrutiny of Saudis, says Amnesty

It's crazy how once one authoritarian regime starts getting rowdy, a bunch of others start doing horrible things too.

It's like they plan to act on their most evil plans in the chaos of everybody else popping off, so that the world's eyes are left spinning on which atrocity needs to be focused on first, and their particular crimes against humanity get very little individual attention.

I like your example about foolish management, and you're right in that's what you'll get when you "measure for holiness." Hypocrites and holier-than-thous galore.

However, and I can only speak from a Christian experience, this is why "works based salvation" is not what is taught by Jesus Himself.

What you speak of with "How many of these laws did you follow enough to get a ticket to heaven?" is Hollywood theology at best, and not at all Biblical.

Numerous times He stresses doing good works in secret, and not to show off to others. (If you get attention for it, that's your petty little reward, basically.)

A righteous life inspires good works naturally, and the Law makes sure we should never forget that none of us are perfect, therefore we are called to forgive others the way we'd wish to be forgiven.

We are not called to judge others. If you judge others, you'd best be ready to submit to being judged by the same metric. (And will likely be found wanting.)

I too, am I weary and sick of these religious cults, who want to wear the funniest big hats and stand on the highest podiums to look down their nose at all the lesser-thans. Surely, they've "already gotten their reward", and those who use faith to mislead and abuse others do not know their God, and He will not remember them.
