so in affect the Preacher was taken to task by the HRC for stating the reason he wouldn't perform
Welcome to Country.
no, the preacher was taken to task for claiming aboriginal beliefs were false
go to the preachers church and tell him his religion is crap and I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that preacher would also screech like a banshee
He would probably either ask that you leave or try to convince you otherwise. He wouldn't take you to the HRC. People openly call his religious beliefs false all the time. Everyone in our society is expected to tolerate their beliefs being questioned. Except, apparently, aborigines and Muslims. Maybe atheists also, though Folau won his court case. Anyway, my point is, you are a hypocrite. Your hypocrisy is so ingrained you are blind to it.

Quote:a building for public and especially Christian worship
John is your argument that a Christian is not allowed to decide for himself what he means when he uses the word church?
