What Weber, Perenara, Owens and others making a racket about Israel Folau (Dominion Post, April 20) don't realize is, people like Israel who believe hell exists have a
duty, simply because they believe it, to warn others, the same as a swimmer has
a duty to warn other swimmers if there’s a killer shark in the water.
People like Israel are usually very sane. They don’t do drugs or get drunk
or hit their wife or smoke. They’re really successful human beings. In fact the
stats show that on the whole, in Western society the millions who believe in
hell lead much happier lives than those who don’t.
Neither should the Dominion Post assume that Folau didn’t intend to “do public discourse a
favour”, just like you shouldn’t assume hell doesn’t exist. Can you
prove that it doesn’t?
It might. You better believe it.
