Don't worry, Saltpetre.

The 'Family Council of Victoria' is just one person, who has virtually no influence whatseover and is notorious for his misrepresentations on all things and his cowardice in refusing to engage in debate.

He has a forum here - to the great credit of this establishment - and on his own website. But nowhere else of significance.

You will not see him defend his position here ever. Why not? Because it is quite intellectually indefensible.

It is a long age since he "lectured in ethics and philosophy" at any reputable theological college - in Melbourne or anywhere else.

No where in the Bible does it say God approves of homosexuality, polygamy, adultery ! Its the history of mankind and tells of man's strengths and weaknesses. Recording history doesn't mean approving it if it does in that case all the bad things that happened like the Holocaust, 9/11, abortion, rape, incest that is happening now is approved ? Sorry, think again. Thank you Bill for making sense in our senseless world. In the Bible it clearly shows, love the sinner, NOT the sin so we have to show love to all the misguided people but not to agree with them.

Tweet: does 'showing love' to people involve giving them equal rights? Because that would seem to be a fairly important component in any expression of love or respect.

<<does 'showing love' to people involve giving them equal rights? Because that would seem to be a fairly important component in any expression of love or respect.>>

Why? Can you please explain, Jon, because I can't see a connection between the one and the other!

Also, why should anyone give others any rights in the first place - all that we are asked, especially if we love others, is to abstain from taking away their natural freedoms, rather than chewing those then spitting back what's left of them as 'rights'.

Alan Austin has a good in pointing out that Bill has not lectured on ethics either in Australia or anywhere else for a long time now, and certainly not in any reputable tertiary institution whether secular or religious.

Extending Alan's criticism it would be interesting if Bill could tell us when and where he gave such lectures, and also provide solid proof that he actually did so.

If you check out Bill's website and his presence on the internet altogether, including his Amazon book reviews you will find that his ethics really belong to the Ivan Pavlov, John B Watson and B F Skinner school of reductionist "psychology". Altogether he has the ethical sensibility of a drill sergeant.
