Very interesting to read the viewpoints of the Christians and the Atheist that were prompted by Israel Folau's homophobic tweet.

Folau's religious beliefs and whether there is, or is not, a Hell (or a Heaven, for that matter) are totally irrelevant to Rugby Australia's current disciplinary action against him.

The fact is that Folau breached the terms of his employment contract for a second time after already being given a formal warning after the first breach. That is the sole reason for the disciplinary action, and is exactly what any sensible employer would do in the circumstances.

No, don't give him "a break" but deal with him in whatever manner the employment contract that he agreed to, specifies.
