The crux of the problem has to do with religion - Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims and perhaps a few others don't celebrate Good Friday...so with all due respects, respect other religions and those that don't give a stuff about religion also!!!riccardo wrote:I understand this is a touchy debate, but some of the language being used is starting to become highly offensive to those with Christian beliefs.
Is it possible we could debate this without resorting to childishness?
You love Nicky Winmar who fought the indigineous cause - it's no different here when we are arguing about rights of minority religions and beliefs!
I've got nothing against Christians or nearly all other religions other than mine, so long as people assimilate and don't outwardly let religion donimate their lives in Australia.

P.s. The Collingwood vs Geelong prelim last Friday was played on Yom Kippur - the Jewish "day of atonement".
Lucky for the AFL there were 98,002 Gentiles able to get along to the game.
