I think it was less about the bible quote and more about this:

I'll meet you halfway and agree that it paraphrases the bible. But yea... I'm sure his contract had some clause about calling homos bad. And he signed it.

He is free to believe anything he wants. But he should have known better than to post it on the internet.

That is a quote from the Bible.
That is self satisfied cherry-picking from the Bible and we should not tolerate it from any member of any religion.
I'm pretty sure every revealed text has some sort of lovely prescription for societal degeneracy that involves public execution or eternal fire. while that approach may have been relevant 2,000 years ago it's not where we want to be headed as a society or as a species.

No they tried to get him to have that clause inserted ( not expressing his personal opinion on social media ) but he refused. That's why people are so pissed off about it.

Isn't it far more realistic that people are pissed because he was supposed to help them win the World Cup or whatever the hell it's called for rugby?

The bible is gay and unrealistic.
I don't think that is the point. If you can lose your job for holding an opinion it isn't a good look for future freedom. I personally do not agree with him doing this, but I support his right to say what he likes, think what he likes and not lose his job over it.
Is it any different to refusing to bake a cake for a gay couple?

Are you trying to autisticly advertise your own website?
I actually thought it was an interesting article and if it means someone might learn about the site, well good.
No one is forcing you to read the article, visit the site or even respond to my post.
If that is against the kiwifarm rules, then I will cease.
Cheers.

I don't know how it works in Aussieland, but where I come from, corporations are not subject to free-speech laws. They can and will fire people for farting if they want to.

So it's just a coincidence that you chose that publication's name as your own? When there are many other (more reputable) publications with the same information?

You can calmly refuse to bake a cake on the basis of your beliefs, you don't need to just jump over the counter and say "YOU'RE ALL GOING TO HELL THE BIBLE SAID SO, NOW GET OUT OF MY STORE SINNERS.".

I agree completely. Had he signed an e,mployment agreement that prevented him from saying what he wanted, they would have been within their rights. But his agreement didn't and they terminated the contract anyway.
IMO he will win his appeal .

As I clearly said, if I am not allowed to refer to my own site, then I will not do it again.
Can you please point me to the bit that Kiwifarms rules staes that I am breaching site codes of posting.
Cheers.
