Message: [QUOTE="Midean, post: 3223167, member: 10185"] This topic is a slippery slope. How can an organization ban Folau, for following his beliefs (his faith dictates he must practice Christianity by spreading gods word) but not ban the religion itself. I mean, are we to believe its perfectly ok to follow radical ideology so long as we don't talk about it? In that case, to use your analogy, its perfectly fine to hire a known neo nazi peptide pushers, so long as they don't talk about it. What exactly is Folau being ostracized and barred from his profession for here? Is it for his beliefs? Or is it just him practicing his beliefs by spreading gods word according to his religion? At what point does this become discrimination based on religion? I personally think his beliefs are asinine and backwards, and i am not a religious person, so feel he is being brainwashed by the church, the same as every other religious person out there. That being said, should he not be allowed the freedom to earn a living, regardless of his faith or its teachings? And if the faiths teachings are the problem, shouldn't the faith itself be banned from the NRL? This is some seriously murky water here, because what is happening is one individual is being punished for the ideology of an entire religion. And that is wrong in so many ways. IF the NRL are going to play hardball on Izzy, then they need to apply that to Islam, Christianity and any other practitioners of these religions who are currently playing in the NRL. [/QUOTE]
