Israel Folau - what a Twit

I am not christian (or follow any religion) but I will still defend his right to believe in what he wants.

So he thinks god will send gays to hell. Big deal. 

This was all just a media wind-up imo: they set him up with some loaded questions and created the scandal. Pure click bait stuff.

With social media being the boorish beast that it is, once the story was out (no pun intended) all the journo's had to do was sit back and watch the shark fly around. Job done.

If you really want to live in a "tolerant" and "diverse" society then how about practising what you preach and that means tolerating the fact that other people may have different beliefs than yourself.

Is going around bullying and hating on people whose views you don't like really the way forward to a better society?

Once you attack someone you lose the chance for any meaningful dialogue as well and with it any chance for positive change and/or growth for all parties. Instead views become entrenched.
