What about your future kids, Izzy?

One of your best David

I applaud the honesty of your comment, although I must say, super inclusive approach their comrade.

If gays were left of the list would any complaint have been made.

You do realise verbal abuse is a form of bullying right? How about scrolling through the comments section and reading all through the comments of people that have a firm stance against Folau. Granted not all comments are abusive in nature, but some do cross the line as to what constitutes verbal abuse and is by extension bullying.

I agree. Referencing his future children strikes me as being overly melodramatic and plain inconsequential. His children will be bought up in a Christian environment and go to a Christian school, I doubt they'all have little inkling of what occurred all those years ago.

Bullying, if it ever became such, is never condoned. As such this argument is irrelevant.

The kids will be fine unless gay. However Folau's attack on homosexuals is in itself a form of violence. Imagine the same thing said to his gay child!

By the way TWAS, thank YOU for breathing commonsense and compassion over such an issue and so many posts by others.

Why the need to bring his unborn children into this? He may home school them, or send them to a fundamentalist school. They may well be heroes there. There may be some people that will encourage their kids to take it out on IF’s kids. However, assault is a crime, regardless of age. Issie is the fool, not his children (yet anyway)

Pretty sure that it will have blown over by the time the kids he hasn't actually had yet get to school.

— COMMENT DELETED —

What interests me, is the current faux outrage is over the potential harm he has caused to minorities by expressing his views. At the current rate that people are abandoning religions, it's fair to say that by the time his kids are in school it's not unreasonable to consider that religious types will be a minority. If we consider that most logical/athiest people have determined that to be a religious fanatic that one would have to possess a degree of intellect that is questionable, then we could reasonably surmise that in the future, when attacking religious faiths that we in fact bullying a minority of mentally handicapped people. I wonder then, will the PC brigade have adjusted by then to extend their protections to this minority?

David, his kids will be raised in a safe, drug free, alcohol free, violence free and loving environment. You can disagree with what he has done but to claim he is harming his future kids is just wrong. And silly. And a little desperate.

David is stretching a long bow here.

You went a bit far with his kids there. I think he will be just fine.

May as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb!

The saddest part in this whole saga is that there seems to be a concerted effort to shut out any Christian voice Nothing sad about that at all. The "christian voice" or any religious voice has no right to say how our secular society is run.

I think it would have been an equally strong opinion piece without references to future children. His kids are likely to be raised in an environment and close community where similar thinking is the norm. They are likely to be educated in a similar environment. When they are older and forming their own opinions on these matters they may well disagree with mum and dad and their community. But really, is he harming his future children with his views today? If Folau is a good father then his kids will love him for the person he is. And opinions about religion or politics are unlikely to change that.

A lot of worried adulterers, fornicators, liars , thieves , Idolators etc writing comments on this old Christian view. What if he’s right ?
