So Israel Folau believes he is entitled to spread the word of his religious beliefs. How dare he do this. If the 11th commandment…
The upcoming selection of the Wallabies to play New Zealand in Sydney should not come as much of a surprise to any level-headed rugby…
yes its madness to get the ball to your best player

whos he hurting atheists that don’t believe in that stuff, or religious people that already do believe it?
Israel Folau linked with switch to Aussie Super Rugby rival
yes sydney is a gay friendly place in general and i’m proud of that fact!
We’re also meant to endorse religious freedom… but in reality thats all window dressing.
The all balcks are good at playing moral high grounders, until you point out to them that a report last year showed many instances of disgraceful behaviour by players including homophobic slurs from some of the chiefs playesr at a function where they groped a stripper… so…. sigh.. Brad Webber is a chief btw.

and who are you
don’t recall ever discussing anything with you
curious?
Israel Folau linked with switch to Aussie Super Rugby rival
i said any church not every church
any church that reads the text on the subject is, because every text that discusses the subject has it in black and white.
its all rubbish mind you, but thats what these people discuss, and many take it as the word of god.
Telling him not to believe it, or any other believer, is like telling someone that they should believe the world is flat.
What if i said to you right now, you have to believe the world is flat! that most people now believe the world is flat so why don’t you just conced the point.
You’d tell me to go jump right. You’d keep on believeing the world is round because you deep down know it to be true.
Thats how those that believe feel.
i know i was once one of them.
its easy to judge them but just know theyve been brainwashed.
just let it go through to the keeper. hes not hurting anyone.

stop your rubbish i’m not posting as this guy.
the roar mods can verify

theres about 20-30sec on the subject from an 11.5 min sermon from an evangelistic american
of course theres anti gay stuff there
but as i said its not the over-riding theme
The theme is repenting sin. It discusses all sin.
The headline posted by whatever the nz website is, is misleading.
Folau is not going after gays. He’s reminding people to repent their sins to get into heaven. Yes he obvioulsy believes being gay is a sin. In his mind he’s doing us all including gays a favour by spreading gods word.
ps i don’t believe any of it, but I understand where hes coming from, having once been a believer myself.
He truly believes he is doing gods work. He believes he is helping.
I don’t care about any of that. i just want the guy to not be driven out of rugby because he happens to go to church with some traditional views.
Israel Folau linked with switch to Aussie Super Rugby rival
you clearly don’t understand religious beliefs and how powerful that is for someone like Folau.
Brad thorn does btw. Hes as deeply religious as Folau and will welcome him with open arms.

shock horror evangelistic religious sermon on how to repent broaches said subject
have we all been living under a rock… thats they type of thing they are always talking about.
Israel Folau linked with switch to Aussie Super Rugby rival
if he is fired for posting a link to religious sermon he could rightfully sue RA
ps the link he posted to do is not what you think. its a 12min video on a whole bunch of stuff without about 20-30 sec on the subject you think the whole thing is about.
you do realise of course no different to what is said every sunday at any church, mosque or temple etc
Israel Folau linked with switch to Aussie Super Rugby rival
its not an anti gay marraige video
it broaches the subject
the video is on many things
Israel Folau linked with switch to Aussie Super Rugby rival
so now he can’t post links to religious sermons
heres a tip they will all have small references to things many of us won’t believe in
as this does, a very small amount of the video talks about you know what.
but every sunday in these places millions of people are saying the exact same things.
so what
Israel Folau linked with switch to Aussie Super Rugby rival
the sermon was NOT about gay people
a tiny proportion broached the subject
Israel Folau linked with switch to Aussie Super Rugby rival
its a 12 minute sermon about many things with only about 20-30sec on the controversial issue that we are all now going to be discussing
can we please shoe due diligence
Israel Folau linked with switch to Aussie Super Rugby rival
This is definitely on the cards.
Brad Thorn is also deeply religious!
Israel Folau linked with switch to Aussie Super Rugby rival
Brad Thorn is just as religious as him and shares his beliefs!
and the link he posted is not specifically about homosexuality.
Israel Folau linked with switch to Aussie Super Rugby rival
the link is not specific to homosexuality
this is a spin by that website
do we not realise that christians talk about a lot of stuff in the bible
Israel Folau linked with switch to Aussie Super Rugby rival
yes you did, you argued that when its 38-0 we need to change the australian psyche of playing running rugby
The Waratahs make it 38 successive Australian losses to Kiwi sides
You sir need your history spoon fed.
I’m not going to get into with you.
Read a book or two.
Rugby. A game of inches
Its not an interpretaion.
thats what happened.
The Waratahs make it 38 successive Australian losses to Kiwi sides
tahs got flogged by 3 points ???
scoring 3 tries to 2…???
2 tries scored in the first half of the back of Folau’s stellar play from fullback???
The Waratahs make it 38 successive Australian losses to Kiwi sides
but above you argue that the tahs should not play expansive attacking rugby
despite that they have a backline full of playmakers and a mobile pack?
The Waratahs make it 38 successive Australian losses to Kiwi sides
funny how people that choose to live in a self imposed bubble are shocked to find what religious people actually believe
Be sure to consider this the next time you jump on a pro muslim social agenda bandwagon won’t you.
