Look, the issue is very simple here. Folau made an offensive comment on social medial that is against the code of conduct. That is why he was fired. Had he being a non christian, and made the same comment, the same would happen as well.
So this is not a question of religions freedom, but rather code of conduct activities. There are plenty of Christians out there. And you dont see them going around uttering non sense that gays are going to hell. In fact, you will see alot of Christians out there, in the community helping out marginalized people including those of LGBTI communities.
I think whoever in the Australian Christian lobby is handling this issue should be fired. Its no wonder church attentions are declining over the years especially among young people. And I cant believe they contribute $10000 for a case for someone who had done the wrong thing, and pretend that its about religious freedom when its not.
Those $70000 could have go to their local church to help out those who really in need, rather than in the pockets of lawyers, and waste time in our tax payer funded courts.
Offensive to whom?
I know who's simple.
One group of the sinners he listed/mentioned
a group that is like Muslims ... eternally & terminally offended.
That group offends many more people with their constant whinging.
If you don't like what he believes or says ... ignore him.
RA's Code of Conduct is a contradiction.
I will tell you who is offended, and its not only the LBGTI community, but also majority of broader christian community. We have no problems with homosexuality, in fact, alot of Christian Charities are at the forefront of helping those marginalized people in need including members of LBGTI community. The act of Folau, and the Australia Christian lobby does not represent the majority views, and it threatens to undo all the good work that good hearted Christian volunteers who sacrificed their lives for the benefit of the others.
And here you have a self righteous appointed paster from a small Christian sect, posting comments about gays going to hell. Is a slap in the face to other good Christians. This whole message is shameful.
As I said same group of LGBITQ alphabet whiners accompanied by their virtue signalling churchy mates.
Why couldn't they just ignore Folaus comments as being
Quote:"from a self righteous appointed pastor from a small Christian sect, posting comments about gays going to hell"?. Is a slap in the face to other good Christians.
As for being good Christians ... if so you're supposed to take the slap in the face and turn the other cheek.
But no ... only happy that he has lost his job because they can't follow the old "stick & stones" saying.
How very good Christian of them all.(sarc)
You're the self righteous & sanctimonious mob.
