Lurked here for a while, everyone was so friendly and heaps of GUY stuff so stayed. |

I was looking at the official site, and saw that there was a forum. There were almost 10,000 members, and they said that the volume was really high, so I decided against joining, and I guess I started to look elsewhere. This was the next forum I found out about. I didn't really want to post at first, and I originally intended on leaving the forum, because at that time people tended to be quite rude, and there wasn't much rational discussion. But I stayed around and am glad I did.

My story was like David's. The official forum made this forum (when it was at its snipiest) seem like a tea party in comparison. The official one was deleted (thank goodness) and now this one's mellowed out. Ahh! I found this forum by typing 'australian idol forum' into google- and it was the first result www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=australian+idol+forum |

He brought Jesus into it, funnily enough. He attacked Guy for being Asian, implying that Asians are not "saved." I have to say, I'm not sure which was worse, his theology or his geography. The Bible and Jesus certainly say nothing to indicate that Asians aren't saved. Jesus' followers were Asians, and Jseus was Asian also. Jesus was born in Southwest Asia. Perhaps it would have helped that person to read the section on Asia in an encyclopedia before writing, as he must have thought Asia didn't extend quite as far West. |
