Religion Folau

[Gough]

Beautiful.

I almost felt sorry for Kieran Crowley that day. Almost.

What did they say about this?

I guess Israel likes money more than his God.

clearly a hypocrite on the take. and the gullible god botherers who have been sucked in are no better. just sick of these oxygen thieves telling us how to run our lives. you can’t have an abortion, because we say so. you can choose to end your life by medical intervention if you are suffering a terminal illness, because we say so. you can’t have a sexual relationship unless we approve of it. if you don’t worship my god we say you’re are doomed etc,etc. and people support this s h i t e.

That would be very, very bad PR.

For who? The very loud minority who think this is some big issue?

 

[Snake_Baker]

It's played in heaven.

For some

 

[Maggie5]

Same, I could google but I can't be bothered.

Me too so I checked for both of us.

Woke means being conscious of racial discrimination in society and other forms of oppression and injustice. In mainstream use, woke can also more generally describe someone or something as being "with it."

I rather like the last sentence.

 

[Echoes]

Am I the only one struck by the hilarity of Alan Jones of all people, being such a passionate soldier for the Folau crusade?

 

[NSWCROW]

It's a remarkable situation that Folau has engineered for himself. He picks the fight and yet he's managed to pitch himself as the victim and those punching back as the bullies.

dare i say it


glass-jawed ?

Anyone posted David Marrs article yet ??

With Israel Folau the church demands a kind of free speech that keeps gays in the firing line | David Marr

As the archbishop of Sydney decries the rugby player’s sacking for his words, his church insists on sacking teachers for their sexuality

Christians are a minority?

Nope. Virtue signalling neurotics.

Cheers Maggie.

It's hard to keep up with the lingo.

Do you have to be gay to understand RAs position? Do you have to be gay to be able to see the bigger picture?

 

[Monkey King]

I don't think there are many people flocking to Folau's church to berate him, on the other hand IMO if you put your beliefs out on social media in the public sphere you should surely expect and be prepared to be challenged on those beliefs.

I have no problem him being challenged on his beliefs ... the same way he expressed them. By all means Australia; get on social media and voice your objection. I totally agree. The whole “do this you’re bad and bad guys go to hell” thing is pretty stupid. Some people believe the earth is flat FFS. Go figure!

Abraham Lincoln

So Lincoln led abolition despite not even having been born when King Louis outlawed it.

You sure know your stuff

 

[Father Jack]

Nope. Virtue signalling neurotics.

Is your virtue signalling unneurotic?

No, but you do have to be neurotic.

 

[rank and file]

Why?

Suppose there are two people, Sally and Anne, and they both have a basket. In Sally's basket is a marble.

Sally leaves the room and while she is gone Anne takes Sally's marble and puts it into her own basket.

When Sally returns which basket would she look into to find her marble? Anne's or her own?

Seems like Anne is trying to make it look like Sally lost her marbles.

And what powers did your King Louis have over laws in the United States of America in the 19th Century?
FMD
Your logic is mind blowing!

 

[Kurve]

No, but you do have to be neurotic.

Lucky for me I've recently had a mental health assessment and scans etc after a head injury and illness for a clean bill there and given I don't think you're a shrink I'm going to ignore that.

 

[Echoes]

Garbage.

 

[Thegibbsgamble]

Christians are free to choose who they hire and fire on the basis of their sexuality.

The amount of unspoken homophobia in this thread is appalling.

 

[Monkey King]

It's not that simple.

But it is this simple:

1. Hold whatever beliefs you like.

2. But if you've agreed as part of a multi-million dollar contract NOT to use social media to express the nastier beliefs of your religion, then don't do it or you're breaking the terms of the contract.

Sure, if you breach a specific clause agreed to as cause for termination; if that’s a legal clause, then you’re done. Obviously Folau doesn’t agree and he’s going to challenge that in the courts. So let him. I find the active resistance to a bloke trying to raise funds to exercise his legal rights objectionable.

Personally, I don’t like to think that any contract could have a legal clause that suppressed the expression of religious beliefs. So what he thinks all “sinners” will go to hell? Is this new?

He can THINK what he likes. He can preach what he likes in his own church.

He could even post his disagreement with SSM if he liked. I think he'd be fine with that as just an opinion.

But posting a crude meme damning homosexuals and Catholics to hell? Nah. On his contract that is over the line.

Folau had a contract.

He chose to breach it.
