$500k in a couple of days, on top of the $750k that should also go to the fund. It shows that Folau has a lot of support or, at least, there is a lot of resentment about RA's attack on freedom of speech. RA, Qantas and the American company are all looking pretty silly. So is the Gaystapo.

Of course all those who reject the fact that mankind is born corrupt denies heaven and hell. Simple fact is that Light came into the world and men loved darkness more. Hence greed, idolatry, adultery, homosexuality, fornication are all promoted and loved more than repenting and turning to the Only One who can forgive sin.

The main reason that the 'gay' lobby is so loud is because they have been taught the absolute lie that they were born that way. Yep just like some claim they were born to have sexual desires for kids, or born with sexual desires for every available man or woman it is really part of the corrupt nature and desire of mankind. The Scriptures make this clear in many places including the passage Izzy quoted. Simple fact is all mankind will go to hell if they reject the mercy of God found only in Christ and refuse to turn from their sinful lifestyle. I would imagine their are many more fornicators and adulterers than homosexuals.

Freedom of speech to some people, means that Folau can
say what he wants. It does not make him immune
however to the consequences of doing just that.

People who enjoy the rights of free speech have a duty
to respect other people's rights. A person's freedom
of speech is limited by the rights of others - for
example their right to maintain their good reputation and
their right to privacy. All democratic societies put
various limitations on what people may say. They prohibit
certain types of speech that they believe might harm
the government or people.

We have laws covering libel, slander, public decency,
urging violence and so on.

The development of freedom of speech in most Western
countries has been brought about through the growth
of democratic governments based on the rule of law.

Some countries, including Great Britain and France,
have restrictions on freedom of information and free
expression in the interests of national security. Such
smaller countries as Denmark and Switzerland have less
concern about security and, consequently, fewer
restrictions. Ireland perhaps has stricter controls
over freedom of expression than does any other
Western country. Some of these controls are based on the
moral teachings of the Roman Catholic Church,
to which a vast majority of the Irish people belong.

Australia being a secular country, it shall be interesting
to see how this Folau case pans out according to the rule
of law and whether Folau's views have a place in our society.
Especially that many hold the belief that people can no more
choose their sexuality than their skin colour and that it is
not a heinous crime for which someone must repent, it's simply
part of who they are.

Israel bigot proudly sponsored by the Australian Bigots Lobby.
Christians have much to be ashamed of and this is just one more to add to the list.
Keep your bigotry and hate to yourselves and leave the judgement and retribution to your magical superfriend in the sky.

yes Foxy and and thinking people also can see that people develop all sorts of sexual and other desires as a result of many influences and experiences in life. Simple biology or design clearly shows what body parts are made for. Amazing amount of women who have had a bad experience with men who decide they are lesbians. No amount of spin or dogma will change reality. People claiming to be born with sexual desire for kids is simply wrong. A 50 year old makle with a desire for sex with a 14 year old boy or girl does not mean he was born that way although according to your logic with those practicing homosexuality that is the case.
