Homophobe gets away with shakedown of Rugby Australia

What a shame, when you go gentle into that good night, pray you get reincarnated as slightly less of a campaigner

I'm not a gullible waste of space so I don't believe in either praying or reincarnation.

This is why you shouldn't put a woman in charge of anything

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 Sheesh you could take any number of books written late last century that are now hopelessly out of date.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.

The Christian Bible literally says it is the duty of women to submit to their husbands, and that women are the property of their husbands. It also literally says that a Christian must kill anyone from a group of people the church decides are enemies. It has a name (I can't remember it) but it is the Christian version of infidel. Ever heard of the witch hunts or crusades? You might also have heard of the dark ages, which were caused in the most part because of the church being the dominant authority. The Bible also literally says to stone to death people who work on Sunday. It's also just generally full of God 'justifyably' killing entire groups of people because he doesn't like them or what they so.

Just because people don't currently follow the more violent parts of the Bible (arguable really, plenty of killing and abuse happens in the name of Christianity but not targeted at America so nobody cares) doesn't mean that it's any less disgusting or violent than the qoran. In fact there have been some studies done which suggest the Bible is more violent.

Don’t forget slavery, jesus loved that shit, what a terrible human he was, **** him.
Happy saturnalia, now let the debauchery begin....

 

[chelseacarlton]

Wow. How about you lobby the AFL to buy some absorbent matting and every time someone 'tweets' something upsetting we lay it out on the Marvel Stadium surface make some Lions hungry and feed the offending parties to them. You can be in charge because your view is refreshing and new.
You know FA about me so keep the personal attacks to yourself.

You’re a stupid campaigner.
Nobody was offended.
We are just sick and ****ing tired of having to drag stupid ****ing campaigners like you and ****face Folau into the ****ing 21st century.
The bible is the greatest source of hatred, death and misery on our planet.
The sooner we rid ourselves of this crime against nature and people like you and that ****ing campaigner Folau, the better off we will be.
You are a campaigner.
Happy Yuletide campaigner!

Nah mate, Folau is allowed to call an entire section of the community evil for simply existing. You're not however allowed to call him a shit campaigner for of his actions, cause it's religion.
