You are 100% right Leslie. Christophobe is alive and well.

I cannot understand why a person who doesn’t support the gay lifestyle is automatically labelled a bigot and hater.
Just because you may disapprove of one area of a persons lifestyle doesn’t mean you hate that person. Surely we are able separate a persons sexual activities from who they are as a person? The parents of drug addicts hate what their child is doing in relation to their drug habit but still loves their child as a person. I personally would never judge the worth of a person based on what they do in their bedroom, as long as children weren’t involved.
I have lesbian friends I really admire and like and my attitude towards their sexual activities doesn’t interfere with our friendship at all. It’s not something we ever discuss as it’s a private issue.
You can legislate for equality but you cannot legislate acceptance and people should not be labelled haters because they can’t bring themselves to approve of activities others have no objection to. We all have the right to our own opinions.

What a pathetic article/essay from someone who is both a professional legal scholar and philosopher. But such poorly argued rants are par for the course in the Australian Spectator.

For instance there is absolutely zero evidence that there is a "reign of terror against christians" in Australia.

And in my opinion very few mainstream Australian christians who are in any sense sane would now believe that "sinners burn in hell" when they die. There is of course ZERO evidence for such an absurd belief.

'There is of course ZERO evidence for such an absurd belief.'

except for the words of the Man who never lied and rose from the dead.

If homosexual sex/annal sex is a sin? So also annal sex practised between consenting informed heterosexual couples! Big Nana.

Simply put, what consenting couples decide to do in the privacy of their home is no business of Folau or any other religious bigot.

If you are going to persecute others for the crime of being born different, make sure that you have all your facts/translations absolutely right, lest you stand before God, accused of the most heinous evil yourself!?

(I didn't put that rope around that young man's neck Lord!) [No not personally, but you're the reason he chose to end his young life, just a surely as you placed the noose around his young neck yourself!]

That said, freedom of religion allows one to be a bigot and express flat earth or stone age religious views.

It's called freedom of speech, only around 10% of us, believe like Folau and runner, we speak for god on religious matters!?

None of which have to be proven or true! Thus we have to tolerate the intolerance of runner, his endless religious diatribe/rant!

Wars have been fought over religious belief, genocide committed in God's name!

Given this is so, historically proven/recorded! It, therefore, follows, that never ever proven, religion/intolerant views are inherently evil, as are those who confer such hate-filled intolerance on a God of love!

Whose teachings do the aforementioned follow, Jesus or, pagan sun worshiper, Constantine? Because most of the modern bible is his official creation!

One can't say that massacres committed in God's name, were some kind of act of love any more than the burning at the stake Saint Joan of Arc was!

So much evil in this evil empire, with buggered boys/raped babies, lined up for centuries, sword welding bishops at the head of blood-lusting armies.

Gay bashing isn't as prevalent as it used to be, explains why runner runs off at the mouth at every opportunity.

Trying to cover for/justify the unjustifiable?

Wants to return to the good old days, when that sort of thing was acceptable

Alan, how many times do I have to tell you that I’m not religious?
My opinion has nothing to do with Christianity and everything to do with biology.
Sodomy, whether heterosexual or gay is an activity the human body was not designed for and as such causes damage and medical problems, not the least of which is the world wide spread of aids.
I don’t advocate stopping what people do in their bedroom but I do care that I’m not allowed to present my opinion of certain activities done there.
Everyone has a right to their own opinion without being labelled a hater because I actually dont know any person who hates gays just for being gay. Most of us are mature enough to be able to not judge a person based on their private sexual activities, but rather judge a person by their actions and day to day behaviour.
I don’t understand how you don’t see that.
