I was an employer and a regular at some of the meets.Maybe you now realise what the consequences are in terms of what employers would have to accept as lawful behaviour from their employees.

I say we start a "knock off at 1pm with full pay" religion, thats gotta get members.Maybe you now realise what the consequences are in terms of what employers would have to accept as lawful behaviour from their employees.
I'll be high priest you can be altar boy.
It will also have the practical effect of partially shutting down the "Left" side of politics.Well there is one thing for sure, it won't be a cheap case, as can be seen on here it is polarising and the outcome will have to be very measured. As it will effect all workplaces, people will be able to be sacked for what they say on social media, as long as the employers just put a general clause in their company policy.IMO
If your soap box is on company property then that's not acceptable.If I worked somewhere and was deeply religious. Then every afternoon after work I would stand on a soap box preaching bible quotes. Am I now going to be sacked for practicing my religion?
That is possible one of the most amusing things I've seen.
(What if Folau had just posted a picture of the cover of a lawful magazine?)
there was no threat as 'hell' isn't a place, i
If he had said I wish to bash gays and lesbians, that is a whole new ball game, but he didn't threaten them in any way.
So he did threaten those that are gays/lesbian and believe in the Christian faith and so hence believe hell is a real place.
Well all employers require to do, is put general sweeping statements in conditions of employment and then make anything a sackable offence.
If you believe that hell exists then rationally you’d also believe that you’re going there if you sin.If people in those categories were religious, then it was the Bible who threatened them , not Folau.

At the end of the day Folau made a sweeping statement of a very general and broad nature, there was no threat as 'hell' isn't a place, if that is grounds for dismissal it opens up pandora's box for employers.IMO

Spot on mateGiven Christians make up a large portion of the world and the subsequent backlash. I'm not sure RA really made best use of the situation.
Raelene Castle has damaged the brand possibly to the point of bankruptcy. The damage RA [Rugby Australia] has done in handling the situation far outweighs what Folau posted.
Lots of religious people post their religious views on social media. I personally have no problem with that.
A few points:
Folau has no "duty" as such, else every other Christian would/should be doing similarly.
Folau exercised a freedom to express a religious belief, and had an opportunity to do it in a way which would not breach the Code of Conduct. For reasons known only to him, he chose to express his views in a manner which the average person would likely deem inappropriate. Some might say it was just silly, but some also found it disrespectful.
There was an earlier comment about what if he posted a cartoon or similar. The answer to that was learnt by the publishers of Charlie Hebdo.
Being homosexual isn't a sin. Its the same sex bonking that is.Can any Christians on this forum point to where in the Bible it says that homosexuality is a sin and you will go to hell.
