No, double quotes:

He’s not attributing the quote to you, such posting an extreme example.

Everyone is a bit sensitive today!
Does anyone with knowledge of the good book know if it says anywhere that you can't kneel for any other reason than worshipping? I haven't heard it before. And I'm pretty sure a shit load of those NFL players would be Christian

Keep in mind that Folau's "religion" is basically making it up as they go along.
Provided they can't be taxed, they can believe whatever they want.

I can’t help but feel @antipodean is Baron 2.0
Folau is an attention seeking twat. I doubt anything he does is without thought to draw attention to himself and his righteous outdated beliefs (( unless you lived during the Bronze Age, then it would be relevant)

@antipodean said in The Folau Factor:
I usually agree with Peter Fitz, but he's clearly let his judgement of Folau get in front of the stance that he's taken here.
But like anybody in a democratic nation, he has the right to choose which movements he's supports and which ones he doesn't as well. Everybody who isn't a woke moron (which sadly seems to be less every day) is aware that there are two sides to the BLM movement.
To use their own analogy, Black Lives Matter means as much as Black Lives Matter as Defund The Police means Defund The Police.
I honestly wouldn't have a clue what it means anymore. It seems basic English is not part of the movement.

You shall not make for yourselves idols, nor shall you set up for yourselves an image or a sacred pillar, nor shall you place a figured stone in your land to bow down to it; for I am the Lord your God.

Could someone with more patience and fortitude than me scan through pre match team pictures to see if Folau knelt in any of them? 😁

Imagine if you would a media that ignored a footballer halfway around the world standing still before kick off. How less angry would you be?

That doesn't appear to cover kneeling in protest, only kneeling to a "figured stone"?

Quick search suggests there's a bunch of verses; https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Kneeling. For those of you aspiring to be biblical scholars, take your pick and get back to us if you could?

@voodoo said in The Folau Factor:
@Bones no doubt. But withough anything explicit, the evidence appears to leads us back to Folau being an attention seeking twat
Whilst this is possible, probable even it does seem to me that he’s getting grief for not making an attention seeking political statement. Or Does he get the grief just because he was the only one not to go down the virtue signalling route?
-
@antipodean said in The Folau Factor:
Fitzsimmons' point appears to be that while Foolu is perfectly entitled to make his own choices, if those decisions aren't in line with his view, it takes his breath away..
Poor little flower.

Not sure why anybody would have to explain not kneeling. On whose authority does one need to provide a reason?
When did a violent, openly marxist, activist group dictate what individuals should do at any given time?
More shocked at how many people have adopted this incoherent form of servitude.
( oh and shhhhh but there's a particular race of people in the USA well known for homophobia in the hood, but I'm not telling, you won't believe it anyway🤫)
