The outrage mob is out in force following rugby star Israel Folau's latest social media comments. The mob wants to more than disagree with Folau's opinion, as is our right in a free society. It wants to ban him from expressing it, which is totalitarian.

On Wednesday, a Rugby Australia spokesman branded Folau’s comments about sexuality and religion "unacceptable", and said its integrity unit had been "engaged in the matter". Now it has signalled its intention to sack him.

Folau shared on his Instagram account an image which said to "drunks, homosexuals, adulterers, liars, fornicators, thieves, atheists, idolators" that "Hell awaits you! Repent! Only Jesus saves."

In the caption to the image Folau provided quotes from the Bible, and added: "Those that are living in Sin will end up in Hell unless you repent. Jesus Christ loves you and is giving you time to turn away from your sin and come to him."
