Look at the conversation with Warbler that I had a couple months ago where people are still willing to give the Pope a free pass even on matters of the child sex abuse cover ups purely because he’s the pope and Catholics like him so he shouldn’t be criticized too harshly. Well, he doesn’t a free pass from me, no matter how fancy his hat and robes are.
I never said the Pope should get a free pass. Yes I disagree with what O’Connor did, but I don’t think the Pope should get a free pass.
Your implication is that he should be criticized less harshly and more respectfully than other people because of his position, regardless of his crimes against humanity.
Even if that were 100% correct, that is still different than wanting to give him a free pass.
I don’t condone bigotry, violence, or vandalism and I know my history so you don’t need to lecture me on that. Nobody on this forum has displayed any bigotry toward you unless there’s a troll or two that I’m forgetting about.
There was prominent forum member that once made fun of the undergarment Mormons wear, he referred to them as magic underwear.
What’s wrong with that? If I said I was wearing special underwear in order to remind me to pay my rent, or some areligious, then everyone would make fun of me. Why is it free from criticism or mockery just because it has to do with religion?
If you can’t see the problem here, I give up.
If the person I was hiring never shut up about their political views and repeatedly brought them to work even when told clearly not to, then yes I would fire them.
I wonder what the courts would say about that. No doubt the person being fired for sue you for religious discrimination. I am not saying you’d be guilty of that for firing the guy. I’d let let the courts decide that.
I’d be right and the litigious person throwing a frivolous lawsuit at me would be wrong, regardless of what the courts say.
You could think want you want of the court’s decision, but it would still be binding.
I don’t own a business and don’t plan on starting one so it isn’t a problem for me.
I know you don’t own a business, but we were talking about a hypothetical situation where you did own one.
