This is mouth-breathingly stupid. You're either a troll or a fanatic based off this. 

(1) Yes I know you didn't explicitly mention Stalin. I merely used his name as an example given he is the best example of a successful dictator and to counterpoint the implication that I'm somehow relatable to a Georgian mass-murdering Marxist for defending the rights of homosexuals. You say "Yeh you could be worse then those you mention who knows" - implying I'm somehow capable or willing to create a proletarian dictatorship under the leadership of an elite (Stalinist-Bolshevism) or be willing or capable to genocide an entire civilization in the name of God and plunder (Cortes), simply because a) you don't know me and, b) I disagree with you on something. 

(2) I have done my research. I know people who have been abused by elderly, backed up, creepy men who received no punishment, either secular or divine for the heinous crimes they committed. You say "I should be careful". Why? Is God going to smite me for criticizing child molestation? If God is God, he could very easily just do something publicly and justly to priests who, under his name and authority, rape children. But he doesn't. You're right about it not being just the Catholic Church, it's endemic in Islam and Judaism. Look up how Afghan men 'rear' young Afghan boys, and how American soldiers were discharged after shooting them for their bastardry. How in Islam girls are genitally mutilated and sold off before puberty to be raped and sodomized by disgusting 'men'. Look up also the actual practice of circumcision in Judaism. How babies are mutilated and tortured by the very mouths of Jewish priests. All to please, unsurprisingly, a male God obsessed with sex and genitalia. 

(3) Fair enough if your church/school hasn't been caught up in the scandal. Regardless, all three monotheisms worship the same God, so if child molestation is rife and covered up in the Catholic Church of Christianity, then clearly by association the other religions are implicated by worshiping the same God that apparently permits such crimes. Or does it not count if you change the language you worship in? How convenient. 

(4) Implying that a homosexual teacher will teach nothing but homosexuality? "Righto kids, after we've covered Pythagoras' Theorem I'm gonna go over the benefits of anal sex and MDMA!" Your homophobia is obvious. Honest question: why do you believe homosexuality is wrong? If it's wrong in the eyes of the Lord then why is it endemic in the mammalian kingdom? You'd think he would have curbed that out, like cancer or psychopathy but I guess he got tired. 

(5) That sounds rather dictatorial of you. What if the student was intellectually gifted and would raise the prestige of the school via grants, etc? What if the teacher was excessively qualified and could teach at an incredibly high level? You're possibly denying your school quality simply because you can't handle what someone else does with their genitalia. 

(6) I don't want to force you to do anything. I just want you to think non-ideologically. Did your opinions come to you naturally or were they ingrained through your environment into your psyche (ie. is your opinion arrived at via free will or is it externally determined?) I'd like for you to see the error in your logic, if that's dictatorial then you are simply ideologically defensive to the point of absurdity. 

I just watched Simon Birmingham on the ABC rabbit on about respecting freedom of religious beliefs in reply as to whether a religious school should be able to sack a teacher for being gay.

I wonder how far respecting of religious beliefs go?  Is female genial mutilation OK because its part of the belief system of some religions?

Perhaps Rob or Rusty could enlighten me.

Perhaps you'd enlighten me on what genial mutilation has to do with Christianity.

Nothing.  But nice dodge of an uncomfortable question.

The question is how far do you go to respect religious beliefs?

You think your religion's beliefs should be respected and therefore you should be able to discriminate.  What about other religions? Are they afforded the same concessions?

No there was no dodge at all, I honestly didn't understand what that's got to do with what I've said, but I can easily answer your question. 
In my opinion I believe that it is wrong, however it doesn't affect me or my kids one bit. I'm Christian, therefore the laws of another religion won't affect me, because I'm not a dumb fuck that would take my kids to a Islamic or Jewish school, and then argue with them because they didn't agree with me, and cry out like a whinging bitch screaming out discrimination. 
So although I think it's wrong I'm a humble person who understands that it's wrong in my eyes but right in the eyes of a Jew and a Muslim, so who the fuck am I, and what right do I have to offend them by forcing them to change a rule?
Do I think it's wrong? Yes, will I try and force them to change? No I won't because that's their choice, and their choice doesn't affect me one bit.

The state has a responsibility to protect children from physical violence and injury, as children cannot decide for themselves.  Genital mutilation constitutes physical violence and injury.  As for adults, if they want to mutilate themselves go right ahead.

Explain to me then how male circumcision isn't banned then.  You know, seeing as the state has a responsibility to protect children from physical violence and injury.

What's that? It's a procedure steeped in religious history.

Oh.  Ok then.

It really sounds like Marconi101 is discriminating against robstazzz because of his religious beliefs. Like Marconi101 is the one full of wisdom and knowledge and Robstazzz is some archaic trogladyte imbecile who has been totally brainwashed, and Marconi101 is the sage who will show Robstazz the error his ways and guide him to the truth.

I consider this a form of intellectual discrimination, where one supposes they are intellectually better than the other, and want to impose restrictions on how someone can make decisions because their stupidity is so dibiltitating they think they are actually doing them , and society a favour.

So if I’m reading that correctly, and I am paraphrasing what you’ve written, you don’t care what happens to other people provided it doesn’t affect you.

Is that right?

And by extension the rights of those peoples affected, despite them having no choice in the matter, should not protected or enforced?

Youre not equating male circumcision with female genital mutilation are you ?

(1) I'm not discriminating, he can believe whatever he likes. I do believe religion is form of brainwashing, built off the fear of death and the unknown, providing security and established group/cultural meaning. It's a very powerful phenomenon. Just to argue that someone is wrong is not not to imply superiority, it's to imply clarity and consistency. 

(2) If you consider that discrimination, then you're made of glass. I do not want to impose restrictions on others on how to think, I want people to realise they can't justify imposing restrictions on others on the basis of disproven, religious fallacies. 

No because I don't even know about it, in all honesty I haven't even looked into it to know exactly what you're talking about. I can't be fucked googling because it isn't something that concerns me for one, and two it has nothing to do with a gay teacher being allowed to teach at a religious school. If a gay teacher or child is refused entry into a religous school it is no big deal, no one is being harmed.
I still can't work out how you or any other athiest out there would actually want to send your kids to one of these schools, it's beyond a fucking joke why anyone with half a brain would push for something like this. 
Even with gay marriage as an example. you can now get married outside the church if you are gay or lesbian. Some people will then whinge why can't we get married in a church? this is discrimination ect ect. The better question is why the fuck would you want to get married in a church if you don't believe in religion? and if you are christian and you are gay well it is pretty easy to work out why it can't be done. 
That's why when people push for change, even in situations where it has zero affect on them or their families then I'm sorry but you're ignorant, arrogant, and not only believe you're right on the matter, but even worse forcefully try and dictate that the other person is wrong and therefore shouldn't be allowed to think in that way.
How the fuck isn't that wrong?

No.  

Even worse he's now comparing what happened to slaves based off nothing to do with religion to a school not wanting a gay teacher to teach in their school lol. Wow.

How convenient for you that you can choose when to be wilfully ignorant and when to be informed.

Marvellous.

You're arguments are ridiculous.  Based on your logic above no one should have ever agitated for the freeing of slaves because it didn't affect them or their families.

Some things degrade us as humans you know.

I'm not surprised though.  Religious types tend not to do any deeper thinking as they've already had to have to suspend disbelief in matters of rationality.
