//To deny a person the right to play his sport because he sees something totally irrelevant to the sport as important to his beliefs of life, it is a clear imposed denial of freedom to hold an expressed opinion.//

Funny, Josephus, I can think of plenty of footballers who've been sacked because of things totally irrelevant to the sport, and you've never seemed to be bothered about it before. Are only some sorts of freedom of expression to be cherished and protected?

Where was all your confected outrage when poor Todd Carney was sacked for being photographed pissing in his own mouth? Pissing in your own mouth has nothing to do with the rules of football. If Carney wants to express himself by being photographed pissing in his own mouth, shouldn't he have the right to do so? Even if it's offensive to a lot of people, and not something they'd support?

Josephus, like others who hold dogmatic religious beliefs, you want to impose those beliefs onto everyone else. Anyone who disagrees, you have the ultimate punishment, your hateful vengeful god is going to condemn these sinners to an eternity of suffering. How sick are you people.

You raise an excellent point, Toni.
Behaviour that has nothing to do with the game should be something quite separate and irrelevant as long as it's not criminal.

Pissing in one's own mouth is an admirable feat, on a physical basis, though not to everyone's taste.

I am reminded of the furore over the private video where some NSW Police were critical of aborigines and the two athletes who went to a firearms range/gun store in the US, these two broke no laws but were hauled over the coals in the Australian media.

Paul, Josephus like all religious zealots are very sick and they prove it with every post.

They simply can't sell love and so they sell fear and hidden withing the fear is the hate in their hearts.

No-one has the right to decide on behalf of God who goes to heaven or who goes to hell or state their opinion for that matter because their opinion always involves judgement.

They won't address the fact that Jesus used to have a bloke lying on his chest at meals. They won't address why that person wasn't named. They are in full denial about the hate in their hearts.

If there is a God ...God is nothing like they try to sell.

Daniel was probably gay... King David was probably bi-sexual, Methane John of Patmos was probably gay...

They need someone to hate... Watch them jump at this and get it all wrong. Jesus is talking about gays in these verses...

But Jesus says this

Matthew 19:12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

Eunuchs were gay men because often they castrated gay men in their evil system.

Jesus accepted some were born gay so that makes gayness from God...lmao

The believer hatred and bigotry towards gays is simple showing their horrid hearts continuing to defy Jesus'teachings.

They obviously don't follow Jesus... I have proven Josephus doesn't...lmao

Op@,

I like your reasoning and your logic, it wouldn't look bad in a PhD on alternative thinking.

Paul,

Just saying “Christians are free to assemble, believe what they like, pray to their unseen god. all that warm and fuzzy stuff they go in for” doesn't mean that you don't hate Christians. Of course they are free to do these things, and you hate them for it. You are always denigrating them.

And, simply retaliating by calling me bigoted does not negate your own bigotry. You are definitely a bigot, no matter what I am. You will always be a bigot; nothing you say about me, true or otherwise, will change what YOU are. It's fine to call me a bigot. I might be bigot. But that won't change your obvious character, nor will it excuse you. I happy with what I am. I hope you are happy with what you are, because you aren't going to change. Remember, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot etc. all felt as good about themselves as you do about yourself.
