	Are All Religions Equal - Interview With Bishop Brian Tamaki
		BRIAN TAMAKI: Well if you officially recognise our Christian heritage and our Christianity as being our national identity our founding religion then that would have obvious consequences, so the Bible would then be sworn upon in the swearing in and our prayers would retain Jesus Christ at the end of it.
		BRIAN TAMAKI: In the first statement it says it is not an official or established religion.
		BRIAN TAMAKI: I don’t think that holds water because if you took this out to the people, people are saying now and even though they may not be a Christian or attend church they would say I believe New Zealand's a Christian nation.

	Destiny Church, New Zealand Information
		Observers are concerned by Tamaki's outspoken autocratic style, the church's frequent appeals for tithe contributions, and its insular culture.
		On his website "New Zealand: A Nation Under Siege" Tamaki has declared the government of New Zealand to be "inherently evil" [2], pointing out that some members of parliament chose not to swear on the Bible, and one (Ashraf Choudhary) swore on the Qur'an, when being sworn in to government.
		In a later interview [3], Tamaki said Destiny was ready to wage war on "secular humanism, liberalism, relativism, pluralism", on "a Government gone evil", on the "modern-day witchcraft" of the media, and on the "radical homosexual agenda".

	Human Cargo: The Modern Church is so... Gay
		I note with growing unease an article hidden away in the paper this morning about a Christian preacher by the name of Brian Tamaki, a kind of localized Jerry Falwell, whose behaviour is become increasingly reprehensible.
		I knew Brian Tamaki once and he seemed like a reasonable man, if a little fervent.
		The City Council, who have refused to issue a permit for such on the grounds of safety and general inconvenience, are being summarily ignored, because as everyone knows, the law doesn't apply to fanatical Christians, and especially not the ones who feel they have something to prove.

		Brian believes "There is no such thing as ‘safe sex’ outside of marriage" and that homosexuals can be 'saved'.
		You might be thinking that people will realize what a bastard Brian Tamaki really is and wont vote for his crazy cult party...But sadly, there are alot of weak-minded people out there who need somebody like Brian and the Destiny church to tell them how to think, act, live and love.
		So i hope i have stayed on topic enough for you to follow where i am going with this, but basically, Brian Tamaki is a douche bag and the Destiny cult is a group of people that will mindlessly follow Brian.

	TBR.cc: Brian Tamaki's Christian statement
		Tamaki may or may not be a good example of anything but he's legal and that should satisfy all the left wingers as they indicate repeatedly that morals don't matter.
		Tamaki is a frightening leader of a cult and it is terrifying that this grease-hair pool shark is promoting himself as the saviour of the nation – and a good number of sheep want to follow.
		Tamaki is the latest in a long line of self-appointed used car salesmen who has sucked people in with his brand, people who are on the fringes of our capitalist society.
