People who aren't committed to their religion won't use the "God's will" theory. They would rather say that there was a mistake.
It is sexist, because it's mostly guys commenting on the subject. I would appreciate it a lot if the women on the forum would chip in on this topic. With that said, I don't think the comments made are outdated. Actually I think it's gone rather well so far with regards to keeping it civil with many different angles and viewpoints. The topic of abortion raises a lot of debate, and usually there is an outcry when there are a difference of opinion on this subject.
I don't think it's gone because the editors of The Sun all of a sudden think it's too sexist for the modern world. It's gone because with the ease of access to *ahem* free materials that do the job better page 3 no longer serves any purpose and doesn't bring the paper any business they wouldn't get without it. Might as well cut it and try to get some good press by saying they're moving into the modern world, which of course is a huge untruth.
Personally I don't see anything particularly wrong with page 3 as a basic idea. The way society treats the girls outside of magazine can be pretty shameful however, for example all the **** Claire Tully got.
The debate is a classic exam of the lack of common vision in modern feminism. For every woman saying that page 3 is demeaning to women there's another supporting the "free the nipple" (yes, this is an actual thing) campaign.
