The rule of law is part of our democracy. Breach an employment contract and you can be sacked by your employer.

So typical of a religious fundamentalist to cherry pick certain passages of scripture to dish out unproved attacks on other people they deem objectionable then cry "it's my beliefs" and "freedom of religion" crocodile tears when they cop some of their own medicine back. Izzy of course ignores those biblical passages that are inconvenient (camel eye needle) when he is chasing after the $$$  ::). Izzy is all about Izzy. A narcissist. When he posted that tweet all he cared about was himself. He didn't care about how it affected his sport and employer, its fans, nor other people. So much for do unto others as you would have them do unto you eh Izzy!

Yeah he should know that if he wants to be a religious bigot and keep his job, get a free pass from the outrage brigade, the rainbow mafia and the rest of the leftist lynch mob while still being considered an oppressed victim himself by everyone, he needs to convert to Islam.... :shh

Yeah that's why the "free speech" brigade defended Yassmin Abdel-Magied's "free speech" to post a moronic comment on Facebook disrespecting Anzac Day to play politics about asylum seekers. Oh that's right they wanted her sacked instead, spent days  and some told her to leave the country (which she eventually did). Yeah they are all about protecting "free speech" :lol rather than playing politics themselves.

Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from criticism nor freedom from consequences especially if you are a public figure. In Izzy's case, a sportsperson is a representative of their sport and the body that oversees it and usually this is stipulated in some way in their contract which they free willingly sign. If you work for somebody in any job and you do as you please and not as they expect, you can get the flick. Especially, if you do it more than once and after you agreed not to do it again.

By the way, someone should tell Izzy that heaven is hotter than hell  ;)  ;D.

------------
It is possible to make an accurate computation of the temperature of Heaven using a physical law called Stefan - Boltzmann law which gives the power radiated from a black body given its temperature.

The clue as to the temperature of heaven follows from data available in the bible. Isiah 30:28 reads: "Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days".

Thus heaven receives from the moon as much radiation as we do from the sun and in addition seven times seven (i.e: 49 times) as much as earth does from the sun. This gives 50 times in all!

This radiation falling on heaven heats it to the point where the heat loss by re-radiation θ just equals the heat received by radiation. So from Stefan - Boltzmann law 4th power law we have (θT)4=50

Taking T (the absolute temperature of earth) as 300K, we obtain a temperature of 798K, or about 525 Celsius.

It is tempting to compare this unexpectedly warm temperature with that of Hell. Although we cannot be exact about the temperature of hell, we can conclude an upper limit.

Revelations 21:8 reads: "But the fearful and unbelieving ... shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone ..."

The boiling point of brimstone (sulphur) is 444.6 degrees C, which means that the temperature of such an eternal lake must be less than 444.6 degrees C (otherwise if would evaporate).

Therefore, as 444.6 is much less than 525.0, we are forced to conclude by Physical and Biblical data, that: Heaven is hotter than Hell!

Nice story MT. Who would have thought you would defend Islam.

Different rules for one and different rules for another Dio. Nothing that Izzy said was incorrect so what's the big deal. Furthermore, if you are an atheist then you wouldn't even believe in hell. I laughed when I heard an atheist got offended at his post. I also laughed at that hypocrite A Joyce (qantas CEO) voicing his support for RA, while he does deals with the saudis who kill their own if you are an homosexual.

In any case free speech is finished. Democracy is finished.

jones is right, BUT his comments were said in his church. As wrong as the comments are to some, if you dont believe in god then why does it offend you? Its an opinion.

Those muslims go around saying whatever they want in their place of worship and it barely rates a mention.

Not offended by more ignorant baseless crap sprouted by an attention seeking brainwashed religious cult follower like Folau who cherry picks verses from the Bible to attack those he hates while ignoring other verses that he hypocritically doesn't abide by ::). Just astonished a supposedly grown adult in a developed western country surrounded by 21st century science and technology can still believe in such caveman nonsense as blaming natural disasters on his god's vengeance :facepalm.

Folau's behaviour is increasingly becoming more and more disturbing. So much so he has destroyed all his credibility as well as his own sporting career. What a waste of athletic talent. He's nothing but a circus sideshow nowdays and it's all his own self-destructive doing. Even Folau's most ardent supporters amongst the political commentariate have distanced themselves from him this time around.

I don't care but he's doing his faith no favours with his "opinion". People are abandoning religion in their droves for a reason and due to them being able to reason. It's not the middle ages. Shouting fire and brimstone from the pulpit doesn't work anymore. People just think those that do it are complete nutters :yep.

Those muslims go around saying whatever they want in their place of worship and it barely rates a mention.
That mufti who called women "pieces of meat" was rightly condemned as well. One religious extremist though doesn't justify another and doesn't deflect from what Izzy said. They are all idiots.

I acknowledge the comments are ridiculous but I haven't read the articles. Is this yet another occasion where media have gone into his church to get something juicy? Do they go undercover every weekend? They're almost as whacky as he is if so....:shh

As an atheist hero, I laugh any time someone talks about sky god the way Issy does. Wish others would ake the same approach.....:shh :shh
