So what? The same principle applies, his beliefs does not harm anyone...his beliefs hurt some folks' feelings...build a bridge and get over it already!
This is nonsense. Next thing we know, we will be forced to go on a date or marry someone because it will offend them to be rejected? It's absurd, why can some people not see this? By the time you wake up it will be too late!
Shark, it sounds like you are projecting your own beliefs unto Folau...you are castigating him fof what you think he believes...maybe you should stop thinking of other people as sub-human, forget about the religious part of the New Testament and read it from a humanitarian perspective...you might be surprised by some of the "truths" you will find there.
Anyone can see the evil predators were lying in wait for him,bunch of lying vipers.
They remind me of these thugs that killed a Russian tourist just recently near Chapmans in Cape Town.
A change of faith has steeled Israel Folau ahead of the immense challenges awaiting him in the 2012 AFL season.
Folau was a devout Mormon since childhood but his family cut ties with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints earlier this year.
Greater Western Sydney's code-hopping star now practises under the Assemblies of God fellowship, at a Tongan service similar to the Hillsong Church.
He couldn't be happier with the change in spiritual path.
''I had a personal experience with the holy spirit touching my heart,'' Folau said.
Advertisement''I've never felt that before while I was involved in the Mormon church - until I came to the AOG church and accepted Christ.
''It's been an amazing experience for me personally and I know a lot of people on the outside have been saying stuff about why we left.
''And some people [are] assuming that we left because of money, and all that sort of stuff. I know for myself that it wasn't.''
The 22-year-old instigated the change himself after researching the history of Mormonism.
Folau's friends have been understanding and supportive for the most part, but he admits it has been hard on a few of them.
God will play a large role in Folau's life as he attempts to secure a berth in the Giants' side for their season opener against Sydney.
''He's certainly going to help me a lot out next year [in the AFL] and throughout my whole career,'' Folau said.
