Belly,

<<No God ever existed>>

That's your opinion! Your assertion!

You haven't proved it with evidence.

If I took your approach, I could state: 'Belly doesn't know what he/she is talking about in regard to the existence of God'.

From the opinion you've given, I'm safe in saying you have made an assertion about God without proof.

Margaret Court is entitled to her opinion.
As are those who disagree with her. And disagreeing
with her views is not Fake News. Nor is pointing
out her actions and behavior that she has CHOSEN
to express using the Bible. There are many things
in the Bible that we would not take literally today.

For example:

St Paul's advice in 1 Timothy 2:12, when the great Saint
says: "I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority
over a man, she must be silent."

Or - Ephesians 5:22 - "Wives, submit to your husbands as to
the Lord."

Or 1 Corinthians 11: 3-10 "The Lord of every man is Christ
and the head of the woman is man ... For man did not come
from woman, but woman from man. Neither was man created for
women, but women for man."

I trust you see the point.

Margaret Court is asking for equality and inclusion but
for her to ask for equality when it goes against the teachings
of the very Bible she uses to trash gays is ... problematic.
Of course she may find it hard when people criticise her
and ignore her achievements in tennis simply because they
don't like the views she has CHOSEN to express.
But that might be how gays feel when she discounts and criticises them.

The alternative to having no tolerance for intolerance is to
tolerate it. In which case nothing would change. And most
of us - are changing in tune with the world.

OzSpen,

Belly has a right to his opinion, he's not necessarily religio-phobic :)

By the same logic, Margaret Court has a right to hers, and she's not necessarily homophobic.

It's called 'freedom of belief', and 'freedom of opinion'. And 'freedom of speech'.

Joe

We can't expect special treatment and compensations
for whatever reasons - if we're not prepared to extend
that same courtesy to others.

Clearest examples if fake news recently

1. Russian Collusion (years of no evidence and lies)
2. Jussie Smollet
3. Covington school kids

abc specialises in fake news. When fakeness is uncovered they just move on the next story they think will justify very sick narratives.

All men commit dv.
All women to be believed (just ask Christine Blassey Ford)
All white men are racist (except those agreeing with toxic feminism)
All religions are equal except Christianity which is 'wicked'
You can claim to be Indigeneous as long as you hate the British
Coal is wicked but adultery and homosexuality is good.

yeah fake news everyday at tax payer expense

Runner so you think fake news exists, but comes from my side of the fence always
OZ SPEN this very much ex Christian knows your book cover to cover, just no longer believes it
Child molesters in most Churches
Current America right of reality Churches stacking money but not feeding or caring for the poor
Islamic state a purely evil group thinking it is in the service of a God
Tell me what apart from faith brings humans to kill each other in war
Fake news may have started with the first Holy book
