That list includes 99% of the population.

Why are we stuck on the homosexual rung.

That's what Joyce is choosing to hide behind now he's been rumbled and publicly called out

and he thinks we're too stupid to work him out


Anyway, the answer to that is --- NO MORE corporate sponsorships !

We all know that He who pays the piper calls the tune

So no more paying the piper

No more corporate money in sports

take it back to grass roots support

which will mean no more insane pay for what are guys who kick a ball around or for any other sports person

When corporations can't use money/sponsorship as a whip-hand, it will mean an end to sponge administrators and the obscene levels of corruption in sports

Whether or not he is "correct" on Christian doctrine is irrelevant. It is his view on his religion and he has the right to express it. The church has no more right to dictate what people can say than Qantas and the homofascism lobby.

Well FD I thought I would never see the day but there it is, well said......

Cods, in God's eyes, we're all found wanting

Not our fault.  We're the result of our genes and environment, etc.

Most of us do our best and I'm confident God's appreciative of that

Personally, I don't think any half reasonable god could pass judgement on someone who, for whatever reason and there are many, is born with an inherent preference for the same sex

Sex is a powerful drive and if someone is attracted basically from birth to the same sex, then of course they're going to have same-sex relationships -- and I'm sure most Aussies understand that

Folau was citing his holy book, the Bible.  He's a relatively new convert and as they say, there's nothing to match the zeal of the new convert.  Later, they mellow

It's my suspicion that Folau, as a new convert and or born-again, believed with all his might that it was his spiritual duty to speak his God's word. And he did so originally, to my understanding, inside his church

Maybe the media, to distract from other happenings they'd rather we didn't dwell upon, had a mole in that church specifically to create pandemonium re: Folau

So Folau was challenged and on his Facebook, he responded to someone who asked him if God would sanction homosexuality -- something along those lines.  According to Folau, he took the person as genuine and tried to provide good advice drawn from the Bible, saying that adulterers, idolators, homosexuals, liars, etc. must repent before God and turn their face to God.  From that, I drew that God is eternally wishing to forgive us our transgressions and in return for being welcome in God's Heaven, all we need do is repent and turn our face to God,meaning imo, turn to God rather than to spiritually unhealthy practices such as, lying, stealing, committing adultery, etc.

but it was blown out of proportion by the media and was portrayed as if Folau himself was personally passing judgement and condemning adulterers, liars, homosexuals, thieves, etc.

So Folau, rather than God's book, was under fire.  And no matter how many times he patiently explained that at personal level he passes no judgement on those whom the Bible portrays as sinners

and it's escalated, with every man and his dog having an opinion abotu Folau the man

I can't see that someone with so much to lose financially and career-wise would challenge the ruling of those who sacked him, unless he believes -- mistakenly or not -- that he's right in principle

He may not be right.  In law, those who sacked him might be found to have no case to answer.  And Folau might well be required to pay very substantial damages and costs

Personally, I think it's been blown way out of proportion and it's the media to blame.  They've profited very nicely from the back and forth of the matter

If I were Folau, I would thank my God for my good fortune in being a fine athlete and for the money which that has provided me.  I'd buy a comfortable home for my family and take time out to grow veggies or something.  Then later, when the smoke's cleared, I might buy a business to earn my keep while I pursued my interests, religious or other

He's done well for himself.  Sports people have a limited career window.  If he lost the case, he could still retain an interest in sport playing for a country club or coaching, whatever


I think the reason people have taken this entire thing on their shoulders is because they've sat by patiently for a long time as their culture, their beliefs, values and religion have been forced to take a back seat while others have been promoted

so it's a delayed fight-back on the part of Mr and Mrs Average.  And it seems it wasn't expected and has taken certain others by shock.  They didnt' suspect Aussies had it in them and thought Aussies would take it lying down

Funny how a footy related stoush should launch the fight-back when mass migration and mosques all over the place and the attendant moslems' vehicles blocking Aussie driveways did not

reminds me of the adage, 'Tread quietly and carry a big stick'


in other words, Folau may be a convenient catalyst created by himself, perhaps, or other power groups

How is this an attack on gays?  Saying that in his view they would go to hell should give them a good laugh - then move on - but no, the precious ones must make a big to-do about it.

What about the constant attacks by gays on others who don't agree with their lifestyle - this being a perfect example?

gays and their attendant ilk are a miniscule percent of any population

which is vastly overrepresented in the media, in movies, on tv, etc
