[QUOTE="Zoii, post: 73895230, member: 391745"] In regards to the OP - Overwhelmingly in Australia, a) Same Sex attraction is not regarded adversely b) Those who choose to imbibe alcohol, with the exception of being drunk and disorderly, are not being adverse c) Living in an unmarried relationship is not regarded adversely d) those having sex outside of marriage is not seen adversely - indeed the focus is on safe sex and safe relationships. Given the above, Christianity is not in keeping with most of the Australian public and CERTAINLY NOT in keeping with the ethos of Rugby Australia's whos ambition is inclusiveness not ridicule, divisiveness, or finger-pointing that they are in some way bad. And that goes double when its the children of those who Christians are pointing at. Many in Australia think that those with a same-sex attraction have no desire to be patted on the head, and nor do they believe that those with Same-Sex Attraction have a need to change and nor do they believe that having single or multiple partners is any crime warranting condemnation. Rugby Union is not signing up Christians. It's signing up those who want to play or support rugby regardless of who they or their parents are......... and thus is not open to the admonishments of Christians who may choose to throw stones. Again - who someone chooses to have sex with, or how frequently may well be judged adversely by Christians, but rugby AND the wider Australian public believes its no-one's business who one chooses to have sex with (with the exception of sex that breaks Australian laws e rape or paedophilia) I have to ask why there is such an obsession about sex within Abrahamic religions. Sex is viewed as one of the most evil things you can do. It's such a weirdly unhealthy view. Regardless - Israel Folau had an opportunity to role model and confirm positive inspiring messages yet he chose to betray so many of us that support him by telling us all how terrible we all are and will go to hell - Well its Rugby Australia that has told Israel Folau to go to hell.
