These days, religion = businessYou'll find it likely in the Gospel of Matthew. Jesus would be horrified at organised religion under the banner of christianity today.

ScoMo doesn’t need to do anything just because 10% of the country is demanding it.Because he's the Prime Minister of Australia for f***'s sake and it is an issue which is deviding this country and seeing that he is always banging on about religion, he should tell us where he stands on this issue so we can all make up our minds just what kind of a person our Prime Minister is.
I'm not here 24/7.
If you have a different interpretation of the original Greek, I'm all ears.
Save your English dictionary for church.
Reactive this time??? Gee you back pedal slowly.
It is the same event that has been evolving over more than a year.
RA tried there best to make this go away quietly, he was spoken to without punishment then he continued to make silly comments that vilify homosexuals.
All this comes under the umbrella of “this time”. They have NOT been reactive, they were forced into acting. RA did not want this, they wanted Issy playing rugby.
RA have been so patient with him , they have tried. Shame Issy did not try too.
As far back as I can remember, sponsors have shared a public view on controversial issues that can be linked back to the club they are funding. It's a non-issue afaic...'but, but, sponsor CEO is gay!' Could Folau's supporters be any more obviously homophobic? I mean, they're not even trying to keep their homophobia under wraps.
Do you think this will end in anything other than a confidential settlement? If so, I admire your optimism.
You're looking at these discussion points through the angle of an apologist using pro-Christian rhetoric.
Have you seen Raylene Castles comments about the Bible's/Christians? Tolerant is not exactly a word I would used.So RA were not reactive, not sure why you would even say that. If Issy had been repsonsible he could have held his beliefs and played rugby.
RA had their hand forced by Issy, a year after they first spoke to him about this. RA were extremely patient and tolerant of this intolerant person.
You think this is a racist thing ?
I don't think that's true. Islam in particular, has taken a real beating the last few years and we don't see the more extreme rhetoric as much as we used to.
He's got the best arse in world rugby too so it will be a welcome return.
How's it discrimination when he signed a contract that he wouldn't be a homophobe and attack gay people. Filou is a pathetic pawn in the game backed by hypocritic bigots like Alan Jones who was arrested for an indecent act in a public toilet.
"On 6 December 1988, Jones was arrested in an underground public toilet on Broadwick Street in the Soho area of London. He was taken to the Mayfair police station and charged with 'outraging public decency' and 'committing an indecent act'. "
So how can Alan Jones pontificate when according to Filou, he is going to hell.I mean the hypocrisy is startling.
Lol, you need to listen to Tim Costello my christian friend, a bigot is a bigot ,a homophobe is a homophobe and an ex-drunken womeniser is a hypocrite. Everyone knows that Filou and his wife are the two biggest jerks in Australia.Maybe Jones is a bit smarter than you and sees the broader picture. Your problem is that you think it's straight out homophobic, bigotry and therefore can't understand why gay people may be sticking up for Folau's side. It's a lot more than that.
Folau may have signed a contract but maybe the contract was illegal to begin with if it impinged on his religious freedoms. We're going to find out.
Mate, get real. There must be at least 50-60 English translations of the Bible, all of them translated by people infinitely more qualified to translate Koine' Greek into English than either you or I. You, in response to my criticism of you referring to Jesus as approving of slavery (when I pointed out the difference between the word servant and slave) come back with one of the only English translations that translate doulos as slave. ALL THE REST (bar one or two exceptions) translate it as servant. I think that casts enough doubt for you to not refer to Jesus as approving of slavery thanks.
(1) Who do you think I am telling me what to do? Your slave?
(2) I don't go to church. It's too corrupt.

They're homophobic jerks mate. There's no place for it in this modern world.What would you do if you had a gay family member? Would you tell them they are going to burn in hell? Good luck with that.You had a crack at Evolved earlier for taking 41 mins to respond to you then you take 80 mins to respond to Evolved yourself.

Why would that even pop into your head?
Are we not seeing it as it's no longer there or are authorities just refining their response over the years as they become more experienced and it's not allowed to fester for as long as it once was?
Basically nipping things in the bud.
David Marr put it well, wishing to penalise one organisation for discrimination while seeking to retain the ability to discriminate yourself isn't a "right" it's a privilege.Tim Costello: 'Christians need to calm down' and 'suck it up' over alleged persecution
Baptist minister says there is no real risk of religious persecution in Australia compared with many other countrieswww.theguardian.com

What would people on this thread say if they thought Hizb ut-Tahrir had allied with the Australian Christian Lobby in the drive for even more protections for religious freedom?
Australia is the most religiously free country in the world, try living in a country where they put you in jail for practicing a religion. Filou is jerkoff peacocker and Alan Jones is a hypocritical prick.Define more religious freedoms, give us some examples?
