Who, me?The whole thread is confusing. Surely it's the OP who is showing himself to have religious intolerance and not the other way round?
Who, me?
Not at all if you mean me.
I would say the one mistake I have made here is in the labeling of the thread title. Wasn't actually aware that 'religious intolerance ' actually referred to intolerance of another religion.
I am talking about the intolerance of one man for seemingly religious reasons.

Not at all.Which means you are intolerant of their religion.
Not at all.
I can see you are gunning for a fight.
My argument is simply that he believes if you do musicals you are a raging homosexual and that is simply an out and out lie.
He has come to that reckoning seemingly because that is what he has been taught. He has been taught wrong, because it simply is not true.
Yes and no. Yes I think they are wrong, but I respect their views.I'm not gunning for anything. However, their religion is anti homosexual - so obviously anything they would associate with homosexuality they would vehemently oppose.
I assume from your post you believe anti homosexual views are wrong even if they are from a religious perspective. No?
Yes and no. Yes I think they are wrong, but I respect their views.
Doing musicals doesn't mean you are a homosexual though. That is simply untrue.
The lad just wants to do theatre and his dad won't let him because he mistakenly believes that if you do musicals you are a homosexual.
It's untrue.
If someone is so anti something what are they doing moving to a country where it is accepted then creating shit because of it? It would be like me moving to a country where alcohol is outlawed and moaning like f#ck that I couldn't have a beer where and when I wanted.I'm not gunning for anything.

It's a fair point, though I can obviously understand it when people are trying to escape persecution and their lives are at risk.If someone is so anti something what are they doing moving to a country where it is accepted then creating shit because of it?

If you go to a country you should respect their laws. If you don't like them don't go.
As a friend of mine always said, religion is just a means of suppressing the masses.I'm pretty intolerant of all religions. I believe they were invented to keep people subservient to a more powerful elite.
They have caused more evil in the world than just about anything else.
The only 'religion' anyone needs to follow is "do unto others as you would have them do unto you". So give this post a 'like'.
Only valid if they came here directly or were brought here without choice. The vast majority choose to come here. They go through many safe countries to get here. Then when they get here some question our laws and use their religious beliefs to have a go at certain sections of society.It's a fair point, though I can obviously understand it when people are trying to escape persecution and their lives are at risk.
A free choice I don't understand so well at all.
My wife is a Christian. She comes from a Christian family. I am athiest. It took many years for her mother to accept me. I think she expected me to be into devil worshipping or something.As a friend of mine always said, religion is just a means of suppressing the masses.
I do know some lovely people who are religious, but it's the organised, dictatorial religions I am most irked by. The thou shalt not do this, thou shalt not do that. Cats in stone, immovable.
The world has moved on. We have a much better understanding of things now and we are better educated. Science has explained so much too.
I just find it strange that people can live by the 'letter of the law' and accept every single word from a book written by men, for men thousands of years ago.
I think Sky Blue Pete on here has it just about right.
My next door neighbours are devout Christians and you could never wish to meet a nicer family. They really are lovely.
I just know if I went to a country that banned alcohol I wouldn't drink there. I would abide by their rules and if I didn't agree with them, or accept them, or felt uncomfortable with them then I wouldn't stay in that country.Only valid if they came here directly or were brought here without choice.

If they can't stand the thought of living in communities where someone being gay is accepted they know where the door is. The problem is most of these countries are those that they are escaping from. So what does that tell you?
Even if you felt persecuted in your own country and travelled through several safe countries to get there?I just know if I went to a country that banned alcohol I wouldn't drink there. I would abide by their rules and if I didn't agree with them, or accept them, or felt uncomfortable with them then I wouldn't stay in that country.
If I did that I would probably be completely rat arsed throughout all those countries.Even if you felt persecuted in your own country and travelled through several safe countries to get there?
Bet you wished u hadn't botheredI'll not argue with you. As always it will be totally pointless.
I know people who do musicals and have done musicals and they are not homosexuals. There have also been many famous womanisers who have done musicals who are not gay.
It's a nonsense.
The lad is not religious. He is very Westernised and is completely baffled and perplexed and now hates his dad over this.
Yup!Bet you wished u hadn't bothered
Yes, I know, I went to the last supper tour, but I genuinely think that this will be it. I don't think Iommi is well enough anymore, I know he keeps coming back to the UK for treatment on his cancerSeen they're doing some more last ever gigs?

What i find most worrying is that the principal of the theatre group is checking your forum posts for accuracy.The principal of the theatre group has just texted me to say his dad said 'We want him to do classical theatre, so this is not for him...
It was very good Otis!!Will suss it out. Cheers, Wingy.
