Lol, no I'm afraid you misunderstood. It was the view of liberalism you gave, it was very broad bearing the extreme.

I don't share views with the extremists who 'burn the flag' so to speak, they don't talk for me.


A. Oh. Ok, great. But unfortunately you're all pushing the lot of things in the society in the wrong direction.

B. I think youre missing the point slightly on this topic or skewing it in the wrong direction - because I dont think FIFA is afraid of riots, I dont think that's their reason for denying religious expression like innocent T-shirts. I am afraid it's something deeper and more modern than that (see my Swedish example). Much like you uself hinted at earlier, that you're against religous people/Christians expressing their faith for more sublime reasons than fear of riots and physical violence. Because you're in fact pushing the 'mental rape' argument.

A. Haha, we see it the other way... It's preference, their is no right or wrong direction, just what you believe is good for the country. Believe it or not, when I was younger I was fairly conservative myself, but my views changed with my personal experience of the world.

B. I'm afraid that was partly my view outside of football. I have had an 'aversion' if you will (tottaly not the right word, but I can't think of the one I need.). I'm not against religion deep down, but I'm from a Christian family and from a young age I was told what to believe and it caused me to not be big on the whole 'preaching' thing. Sorry if thiat offended you in any way.

-Edit-

Also, I hope I haven't come accross as 'anti-Christian' at some point. I have tried not to single out one religion and truth be told Christianity is the one I am closest too.


No, u dont have to xplain that. Im 100 % sure both marciosmg, Kasz and myself clearly have understood from your general tone that you aren't a religion-hater, or a zealot rabid-atheist etc. Dont worry, we can detect your stance and attitude.

So thank you for the clarification, it's really nice, but neither of us were offended. =)

So, back to the topic.
