      I have lost all respect for sonny bill.
      he was one of my hero's.
      He called the attack on Christchurch a cowardly event. we all agreed (obviously) and he was a role model and idol.
      now the attacks on innocent people at a festival are justified and applauded by him!!!!
      a thousand people killed and taken hostage and executed. children. wives, daughters , sons , parents.
      innocent people, DEAD !
      sonny bill doesn't care about people. it's all false!!!!
      he only cares about people who follow his controlling terrorist views!!!
      his sky wizard is more important than the lives of people enjoying a festival.
      You make me sick sonny.
      you were my hero.
      you are now nothing to me.
      but why would you care?

      Yes must be terrible that his kids will learn to not drink, gamble, have casual relationships outside of marriage etc, have respect for parents and elders. Sounds really bad, must be better if the kids go out to parties and get trashed, perhaps experiment with lgbt shit, leave home and parents to go and have "fun", neglect looking after parents when older etc, never get married but have kids in uncommitted relationship and wreck kids lives. You're lost and need to wake up to problems we have with the absent of spiritual guidance.
