Bollocks. You seriously don't get it.

So 3 Australian cricketers caught blatantly cheating are allowed back after a ban, yet he might be totally banned for life ?
Again, bollocks. Hodders is not a Buddist. He's a . . . .(wait for it) . . .Christian (of the not very clever wing).

Hoddle basically invented his own religion. The reincarnation bit has no basis whatsoever in Christianity, but is mainstream in Buddhism.

Indeed. 'A bit thick' would be my verdict.
What would people's reaction be if he was muslim? I can see two schools of thought -
the right saying if he was muslim all you liberals would be preaching religious tolerance, it's political correctness gone made, you snowflake
and
the left saying if he was muslim you'd be condemning him for hate, condemning him for trying to convert us islam is all about growing islam and wiping out other beliefs!
So, at some point, maybe now unless people still have a few arguments to throw out there, just to keep the thread interesting, can we all start imagining he is a muslim preaching hate and conversion to his religion, and then every start arguing that hypothetical. Could be fun to see lots of posters swich sides (though not all, I know you don't fit into the above generalisation)...

Religion?
FFS
There is no god. Who cares what some fool thinks 'god' has told him?
This isn't even about 'theology' (the philosophical analysis of ghosts). This nobber has chosen a position because it suits his homophobia.
Tis a Greek word
Theo- (Theos) means God
You obviously didn't go to bible college

I went to confirmation studies. St Nick's, Portslade. The Reverand Hellaby (sic). He was more than happy to talk to himself and then pass the class. Emotional. (not).
Top Theo? Kojak? Walcot. Not very good. Who knew?

Of which Falau has two sleeves done, highlighting his potential hypocrisy. On matters of sexuality Falau takes a very strict interpretation. Re tattoos, not so much. That may well be due to his pacific island heritage though. Tattoos are very much a cultural thing.
My own personal view? Cant argue with what [MENTION=29192]Brighton Lines[/MENTION] said in post #4.

Under Mosaic law are you allowed pictures on your body made up of lots of little tiles?

But that doesn't deal with the issue that he's voluntarily put out there his personal views that conflict with the beliefs and values of his employer, values which they regard as integral to their sport.
He's acted unprofessionally and compromised rugby by his actions. He deserves his ban.

Everyone has the right to think what they think. Expressing it in a public forum is fraught because most people with 'extreme' views generally dislike having them challenged, but it remains ok so long as it doesn't incite hatred/violence/etc.
Those in a position of being a public role model who have signed a behaviour contract who then break their contract lose their jobs, just as they could for ANY other breach of their contract.
He had a right to his Christian beliefs but not the right to breach his contract.

He was thrown to the Lions though and ended up losing - quite literally in fact - he made his international Rugby Union debut for Australia against them in Brisbane in 2013 in a 21-23 defeat for the Wallabies.

As I understand it, no one is stopping him playing amateur rugby.
It's his employers who have objected to what he said and therefor won't pay him to play rugby. I can think of more than a few occasions during my working career where I may have been seeking alternative employment if I had said what I really thought

I'm doing my best through actions not words.
