I respect his religious beliefs but to vocalise it and victimise a group of people because of them is not ok in my book.
Some people ask for homosexuality not to be rubbed in their faces, same goes for religious beliefs against someone else’s choices/ sexuality.

Re: Folau in the Canberra Raiders' sights?
He's on $1.5 million a season in union, supposedly. Why would any rugby league club pay that for a centre or winger? Hopefully not ours. The story is a bit of a beat up.
I certainly find his homophobic views unacceptable as well. This is the 21st century.

He breached his contract, has shown no remorse (even trolled others with another verse about being persecuted) and admitted he might do it again.
He has the freedom to express his views but that doesn’t mean freedom from consequences.
As for personal Instagram come on it’s social media no ones is “personal” especially when you’re high profile earning a huge pay packet and representing a sporting code and sponsors.

Re: Folau in the Canberra Raiders' sights?
Exactly how is he homophobic?
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.
If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

Wow! If Folau is available of course we should go for it.
But no player is worth 1.5m in the NRL. and we'd be dreaming if we thought it could happen.

Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.

Re: Folau in the Canberra Raiders' sights?
I'd go hard to try and sign him.
He's got genuine star quality and would boost the profile and credibility of the side.
I'd play him at right centre and move the best centre in the game to the left (b/c he would handle it).
We need to keep a couple of these other guys who are being mooted as going elsewhere.
I'd be trying hard to keep Paulo. Colossal player.
Of the others, Blake the Snake would be my next priority. He could win us a premiership one day.
Would hate to see Papalii go b/c he's been so good for us over such a long period of time.
I want to keep him as well.

Re: Folau in the Canberra Raiders' sights?
I respect Folau's right to have his own beliefs and what he said isn't anything we didn't already know about how the Bible views homosexual relationships. I completely disagree with it and don't believe there is any evidence to support a god so I'm going to hell just the same apparently. Whether he should consider his position as a public figure when making statements like that is another question. If public figures have the right to come out in support of homosexual relationships then he has the right to say otherwise. He was answering a questions honestly based on what his religion tells him.
That being said I wouldn't pay anyone in the NRL 1.5m let alone someone 29 and switching between codes, regardless of how good he is. If the raiders want a boost of membership they just need to keep winning. Would much rather see us spend 800k on someone like Gutherson.

However, I think "intolerant" should be a little more than disagreeing with something. If he was running around trying to murder homosexuals (which is apparently ok in some Muslim cultures, but we can't offend them), that would be intolerant. Just like someone trying to murder Christians would be intolerant (eg: bigoted).

The question posed to Folau was about homosexuals specifically.

Yes the question posed was about homosexuals, where he believes say I will go to hell for not worshipping (after all that’s the only unforgivable sin) for homosexuals it’s purely because they are gay even if they do worship god. For the record believing anyone should be tortured for eternity would have to be the most disgusting immoral belief I’ve ever heard, even worse than believing someone should be killed.Finchy wrote: ↑April 15, 2018, 4:15 pm

Mate I’m the last one to play “look at the Muslims” with, yes their views on homosexuality is just as disgusting and I’ll happily call them out for it especially when they are as stupid as Izzy and publically state it.
As for Christians killing gays you might want to look through Africa for a start, **** Uganda’s gay bill which was going to be a death sentence for homosexuals was written up with the help of American Christians.

Re: Folau in the Canberra Raiders' sights?
Did anyone say they were? Personally, I think Christians and Catholics get a big pass from society for all sorts of crap that Islam is criticised for.
All three religions think I'm completely worthless except as an object to be owned by my father or husband, so I'm not particularly inclined to defend any of them. Frankly, religion is a major cause of conflict in the world and I happen to think the world would be better off without the imaginary sky fairies.
But the net result is that Folau believes that a certain group of people should be condemned to an eternity of torture and damnation for no other reason than who they love. If he is that fundamentalist then what does he think of women? And for those reasons I don't want him anywhere near our club. Not to mention I think he's an overpriced, overrated hack who's been progressively getting worse, plus he'd probably walk out on us in a year anyway.
