Thanks for posting Brett. Very informative. I've been swayed on this issue on a daily basis and there's more intelligent and qualified people than I who will determine his fate, but it's great to read an article that expresses an alternative to the standard mantra that dominates the media.

  The interesting thing is that at no point does the writer take a side on Izzy's statements. You're left actually wondering what her views are. Should always be that way with journalists. There are a couple of supposed journos on this site that could learn from that.

    Yes, it gets us to question society and it's behaviour in the whole issue. Which is a very pertinent point, if this had of occurred in the 70's or 80's it would have barely caused a ripple, is that good or bad who knows.

    She does take a side she says she doesn’t agree with the statements. Then she says he is free to make them. Which he is. But his employer is also free to sack him for making them. Which they have.

      You aren’t just free to sack employees at will for posting a quote from the Bible . It’s about time employers got a reality check when it comes to social media . I hope Falou bankrupts the ARU and sets a precedent.

So - are gay folk going to hell or not?

Are there gay people in Heaven?

Im very confused with the whole thing.

  This is something that depends on which version of the bible you are reading. Most just state that these people cannot enter the Kingdom of God (ie whilst they are sinning). It doesn't say anything about going to Hell, and that would require a total rejection of God.

    Again, going to Hell isn’t God rejecting Man, it’s Man rejecting God.
    
    Essentially Hell is eternity separated from God.

      And If Man and everything were created in God's image, it's also Man rejecting both Man's and reality's essential nature.
