Reference :- Sacked footy star Israel Folau gave a moving oration in which he explained , among other things , that gay marriage had brought upon us the wrath of the almighty . Apparently our God of love is punishing us , even the innocent , with drought . And for added emphasis , God is also burning vast tracts of the scenery and incinerating our hard won goods and chattels . We should heed this gentle warning to restrict our repertoire of sexual expression .
Mr Morrison sir , you did the right thing by calling out this " appalling insensitivity ". Personally I would have called his sermon barking mad , but let's not quibble . However, after the call , you then raised the ante with your own appalling insensitivity . Allow me to briefly explain . You lamented the " grievous effect " on house owners who suffered from the fires , and on fellow Christians who didn't share his views. Can you think of anybody you may have overlooked ? Nobody comes to mind ?
Well , how about the entire gay community , Mr Morrison ? They had been told that they had disobeyed God's laws , and that the fires and droughts are their fault. That kind of scapegoating can badly damage a person's standing within the community. Yet they received no sympathy from you for this disgusting accusation . They are clearly far from your thoughts . Then again , since you are a fully paid up Christian yourself and believe in divine intervention , perhaps it was no oversight ? My son , Ken junior , reckons you left the gay community out for fear of encouraging more bushfires . If so , you were very generous to put aside your own public image for the common good . In which case , keep it up.
Your comrade , Ken
