Won't be a popular opinion on here but if that is what he believes

and lets be honest its what a very large number of practicing Christians believe across the world, not to mention millions and millions of Muslims and no doubt many other religions then that's what he believes. I don't believe that but then i'm not religious.

I don;t agree with people being told what they can or cannot think or believe. if they act on it in a hateful way then that is different (and I appreciate that with Folau the issue is as much that he tweeted rather than that its just what he thinks) but I can see why if you are a devout Christian who holds those (or similar) beliefs you would be frustrated at watching Folau basically have his career ended for expressing what are essentially his religious beliefs.
