They call the Apostle Paul ridiculous and cruel, but would they say the same thing about Muhammad or the Quran?
The Sydney Morning Herald and the Brisbane Times published an opinion piece today which referred to the teaching of the Apostle Paul in the New Testament as ridiculous, vicious, and cruel. Pru Goward, former NSW Liberal minister who authored the piece, said: Christianity hasn’t prevailed for two thousand years without taking on its opponents. There was always going to be a Folau, a Christian somewhere, who was going to promote his Christian beliefs relying on the as-yet-unbanned Bible (as his faith dictates) in all its muddled, wonderful and sometimes cruel teachings to challenge today’s freedoms. Exactly what freedoms Folau has…
