Far as I'm concerned all religious / spiritual beliefs are bonkers *smile*. As for all those various concerns you've listed, guess it depends on how strongly and how deep n restricted her version of her faith is.
Doesn't matter which flavour of faith people choose to follow, they've all got variations of how strictly they adhere to the rules of the thousands of year old faith and how much they'll adjust / blur the lines to fit into the current society.
She's obviously drawn the line where she's willing enough to accept that some in her footy community are homosexual, but she's not into promoting their homosexuality as it clashes beyond tolerable within her family / religious community.

Yep, I agree, she has drwan the line on this because she is homophobic and should therefore be sacked.

Them's the rules for Christians and Muslims, Antsy one n they're thousands of years old. Can't actually profess to be of the faith and then refuse to follow the rules or set your own rules as to how much faith you wanna pretend to have without simply being a hypocrite.

There is no explicit statement in the Koran forbidding abortion - and just like in Christianity, scholars and schools differ. Most schools of Islam allow abortion in the first three months and thereafter according to the health of the mother.

When it comes to Islam, people in the West just make *smile* up.

Well who'd a thunk it? There's a mob that stones women who get raped for having sex with men, even kill women for not wearing their beanies correctly, blow up school girls getting ready for their exams, yet they're happy to roll along with abortion, guess ya get to learn something new every day.

Essendon plumbing the depths at the moment with their trade week performance.

Trying to save the embarrassment of any reasonable player turning them down?

Has Dudoro won the trade period again with his acquiring Setterfield?

Article by Stan Grant on the Thorburn issue, he makes some good points:


From the article: "Essendon is not saying it discriminates against Christians as a group. This is about Essendon's values. Essendon would argue it is not unreasonable that it expects its CEO to uphold the values of the club he leads."

He has words that real good vs the troglodyte RE but a day late - clear plagiarism.
