Freedom to discriminate?I don't know how them being part of "protected classes" stops a religious organisation from not accepting them into their organisation or putting them outside of it etc.?
If it really does, then I entirely agree.
It isn't discrimination, however, it's what the Americans like to call freedom.
"Did away with the Bible? You'll have to explain that.That's a fair concern. I can only imagine quite a few employees of the church have had to find a new palce to work recently because someone did away with the Bible in their current church. It is a like a disease spreading from one place to the next.
Don't the churchgoers already cherry-pick the rules they like and quietly ignore those they find inconvenient?
It seems to me this sort of 'intolerable imposition' is just the sort of thing to unite the church community in high dudgeon. It'll probably strengthen many of them.I am not referring to something directly forcing churches to wed same sex couples, but to the attitude and the ideas that spread that have made their way to several churches. It is unreasonable to expect it won't spread further. Therefore it is unreasonable to assume employees of the church shouldn't be worried about something that could, for all they know, be just around the corner.
