Censorship

In Turkey, people are very religious and spiritual. That's just part of their makeup and their everyday lives. So you can talk with them about anything and religious stuff will come up one way or another. It's not like that in Australia. Here we have a very clearly defined spiritual/secular divide, and spiritual discussion is only permissible in certain contexts. But when it comes to this we Australian Christians should act more like Turkish people and less like Australians. Our faith and spiritually is at the heart of everything we think and do. It pervades even our humble deeds. If we fail to talk about it, it must be because we are actively stopping ourselves from doing so. So let's resolve to be more natural and true to ourselves, and to our God.
