I expect all the people crying about Izzy's right to free hate speech will be appalled at the censorship of a piece of artwork that offended George 'i like Asian hookers' Christiansen and a couple of soldiers.

Then again, the guy has an Islamic name.
I've Met Abdul a couple of times. He's one of the best Artists out of Perth, Probably in Australia and still fairly young.

Sickened by the idelogical attack on him here. It's obviously a portrayal and sympathises what servicemen go through with the pain and hurt they feel, I dispise a lot of millitary circlejerking however there is a real problem of sending people overseas, putting them through hell and not looking after them as well as we can. It's cheap political point scoring that someones upset that a dude name Adbul has dared questioned how we look after people after deployment.


On Israel, He can absolutely **** off. The ARU has been a ****ing basketcase since 2012 and im dissapointed they folded, but not suprised, as they didnt want to face a legal battle to fold the obvious choice in the Rebels, Im suprised they didnt want to cop a smashing from the Private schools and religious brothers like our POS prime minister and went the easy route to pay Israel to be quiet.

No ****ing wonder it's a booming sport all around the world and especially in Asia, but we can't do shit to grow it because it's ruled by private school snobs in NSW/ACT

What do I need to be angry at? Public money being wasted on garbage artworks?

Sign me up !

I do hope he does smiley faces on depictions of Mohammed. Wait, even simply doing a depiction of Mohammed would get a small section of society calling for beheadings.

I'm sure they'll calm down when they see the soothing lines of the smiley face over him. Extremists are known for being pretty chill with stuff.
 
I don't usually post in Bay 13. Though I do read it occasionally. But trash threads like this belong in Society/Religion/Politics.
 
Hell hath no fury like a homosexual scorned

 
Haha these boomers get out their wallets and manage to raise a million in a day for a well off high profile sports star. But won't pay an extra cent in tax and are more unwilling than the lower classes to pay a medicare levy.

Only a couple more decades until every last one of the ****ers is dead I keep telling myself
 
And so do the KKK, jihadists and racists.

The point is that standing up for your beliefs is only to be congratulated if those beliefs don't make you a campaigner of a person. Standing up for your racist, sexist, homophobic etc views is a bad thing.

But how can one tell whether beliefs are campaignerish or not? Everyone seems to have strong moral opinions, yet disagreement is common. How can that be, and is there a way to objectively decide which opinion is best?

It is almost as if morality is a strong instinct, but ultimately has no basis.
 
Lol
Your a idiot
No where in the bible does it condemn any of the people he mentioned to hell, by verse.
He’s an idiot just like yourself.
Chapter and verse.

re the Bible and homosexuality. Leviticus Ch 20 says they should be put to death, and that treatment is approved of in the new testament in Romans 1.

I'm neither Christian nor homosexual, but I think I'd be conflicted if I was.

Side note - my high school class used to make life difficult for our RE teachers by asking questions based on the weirdest bits of the bible. Leviticus was a goldmine, with Ezekial and Deuteronomy not far behind. Yes, I was a brat.

I'd have thought any decent human being would be able to tell pretty easily. And yes, I'm saying that homophobes (even based on religion) are not decent human beings.

Basically people should live and let live. If the way another individual lives their life does not have any impact on yours then mind your own effing business.

Anything outside of that and you're a campaigner.

Leviticus is insane. No cloth made from two different fibres. No fields with mixed crops. No shellfish. Somehow those bits get ignored.

Exactly. People talk about Islam as some religion of terrorism and female slavery, conveniently forgetting that the Bible has the exact same things and ignoring the thousands of years of war in the name of Jesus.

Not sure how people expect a 2000 year old text to retain potent relevancy given how much the world's changed. Sheesh you could take any number of books written late last century that are now hopelessly out of date.

The big issue is the simple-minded & ignorant treating its' words as gospel, admittedly a much larger problem for Islam than Christianity where its now common practice to re-interpret passages of the Bible that plainly no longer make sense if taken literally.
Unfortunately that invites religious nutters to claim the Bible was meant to be interpreted, allowing them to happily ignore its' craziness and take whatever meaning they please out of it. Although that's probably the best way for anyone to approach reading it -as fiction and to draw their own conclusions- what scares me is folks like American Christian right-wingers "finding" references to Israel and Cruise Missiles in there and using it to justify another holy war that could well be the end of all of us.

I could just as easily find and endless stream of priceless life lessons reading David Copperfield but geez I'm not about to base my bloody life around it.

No doubt countless horrible things have been done in the name of Christianity -just ask former Richmond ambassador George Pell- but to suggest the Bible and Koran are exactly the same with regards to their ability to incite followers to violence is sheer ignorance. When was the last time you saw a Christian wearing suicide vest shouting "Jesus is great!". Yeah didn't think so.
