Religion Folau

And in the mean time you find church groups demanding that they be able to do exactly what Issy is demanding $10 mil from the ARU for doing.

Coalition pressured to include protections for religious institutions in discrimination bill

LGBTI advocates say push would create ‘extremely unorthodox’ legislation

You can blame Morrison & Christians all you like, but you need to grow the **** up and acknowledge the shortcomings of the alternative as the ultimate reason behind these people having the power.

Your denial is why they are in power.

Any news on this after the weekend?

Your denial is why they are in power.

Certainly a divisive situation.

Does the Australian Prime Minister follow the same religion as Folau?

Gough the LGBTI advocate is pushing their own barrow. Religious schools and organisations can discriminate now and are protected. Most don't in my experience but certainly some do.

Christian yes, but there are two main streams of pentacostals, folau is in the extreme of the more extreme branch, Morrison is in the other one.

There are only about 30-odd members of the church that Israel Folau follows that his father is the leader of. And everyone who isn't part of that church is going to hell, even if they naively donated their money to his go-fund-me campaign.

It's a pretend church, it's no different to listening to my old man have a pop at the government when he's pissed after Sunday lunch.

Missus cc is a kiwi, I have to watch the All Blacks every time they play, unless it somehow crosses over with a Blues game.
The Bledisloe is the Holy Grail, the World Cup might be Everest, but the Bledisloe is the one that really means something, it’s their Ashes.
I know a bit about Rugby now because I’ve watched a bit because of her.
I went to a game last year Australia v Ireland, it was a great spectacle and I found myself barracking fairly hard and being more emotionally involved than I could imagine.
Folau played that night and whenever he went near it or had it, the Aussie crowd went nuts, I was with them.

We were so much better without him in the team, that team last weekend with Pocock in it is a real threat.
RA should just walk into court and say Issy was sacked cause he’s s**t, we’re better without him.
All my kiwi mates agreed, his absence was a blesssing to the Wallabies.
10 mil is a joke, if we win this weekend though, they should offer to pay him the entirety of it in gold coins, as long as they can ram each one up his clacker.
You were a weight on the teams shoulders Israel, they are free now, now kindly fu** off!

It just shows the challenges faced on BigFooty by levelheaded people when you read posts like this. The Wobblelies were never going to win at Eden Park. They only won in Perth because the All Blacks had a player sent off for a light offence.

This whole bloody god thing is all pretend Gough, biggest con ever perpetrated on the human race.

Israel Folau argues social media posts 'substantially unrelated' to rugby

Statement of claim argues contract termination by Rugby Australia an ‘unreasonable’ restraint of trade

www.theguardian.com

“He believed it was a loving gesture to share passages from the Bible with others,” the statement of claim states.

What lost him his job wasn't even a passage from the bible. He doesn't even know his own holy scriptures ffs, some christian he is.

 

[JW Frogen]

Folau kind of reminds me of some strange, tropical fish.

I am not against or for it, it is just fascinating to see it swim around the tank.

Tonga apparently but nobody else in rugby officialdom seems to have been told about it yet.

For a Christian, love for one's fellow man means sometimes you have to burn them at the stake. Out of love.

Tick! Bit like Scott's money making outfit.

Yeah. It's like how I think we should burn the livestock, crops etc of people who don't get vaccinated

Substituting one burning erection for another?

interesting article this:
Folau case exposes RA’s disregard of diversity of belief

NoCookies | The Australian

www.theaustralian.com.au

Rugby Australia has invoked the jurisprudence of offence in its response to Folau’s claim when it says: “The tone and attributes of both posts were disrespectful to those in the LGBTIQ+ community.”

But the organisation’s own frank assessment means any victory on this basis is certain to increase demands to strengthen religious freedom.

Rugby Australia has filed a document in the Federal Circuit Court making it clear it believes the common law does not prevent employers from requiring employees to sign away their freedom to manifest their religion.

If Rugby Australia wins, employers will be free to manifest their own beliefs by restricting the conflicting beliefs of employees.

On matters of religion, those who want to work would be forced to accept that the boss is like the Pope — infallible.


note: I cherrypicked paras I thought relevant to the substance of the article. Bit puzzling to me.

 

[Carringbush2010]

So 232 pages in no one gets it, STILL!

I've posted this many times and it seems to be ignored.

RA and probably the majority of employers have a contradiction in their HR policies.

You can't possibly be in "protection" of one group and in "protection" of an opposing idealogue i:e religion which in its endth degree is opposed to drunks, fornicators, thieves, homosexuals etc.

This is what I find disturbing, the force majeure trying to "include" everyone when that is simply not possible.

This is idiocy of the highest order!

When is the world going (the noisy minority) going to accept that not everyone shares the same views? When is the world going to grow up and accept that opposing views are opposing views and that it doesn't mean we should go to court over it?

It literally never ends. Doesn't matter how many rights and protections they are given, there will always be a number that can't bear to live with the thought that someone, somewhere, might disapprove of the things that they do. It's strange when you think about how adamant they are that there actually isn't anything wrong with their habits.

The only issue here is the inability of fundamentalist Abrahamic god botherers to assimilate themselves into a modern world with modern values.

We've moved on from accepting the views of white supremacist groups as valid, so why should an ignorant moron like Folau not feel the wrath of the general populous?

The irony here is twofold. You feel Folau deserves protection while you criticise those who seek protection, and let's not forget that he took the case to court...so I don't see how your point on that topic is valid.

Personally, I think religious freedoms need to be reigned in further so we can find the right balance for the good of all. If you're using your religious freedom to attack others because of their race, sexual preference or gender, and you're dumb enough to put a name behind your words, you should be willing to face the backlash.

When your employment is tied to the marketability of yourself, your team, and sponsors, it's your responsibility to maintain the image you share with the world. Don't shite where you eat.

Having an imaginary friend shouldn't be an all encompassing get out of jail card.
