Churches allowed to discriminate (1 Viewer)

I dont see why, if an employer thinks a brown/white/red/black/blue/orange/purple person will detract from his business, or a pregnant female who will need maternity leave off soon etc, why he can't discriminate against these people, because it's his business after all, he looks after the company, he decides who works there, how much they are paid, the productivity of the company, and all the rest of it. Why cant he maximise his profits through discriminating the people who work there?

it is one of the jobs of the government to try and make our country as safe and accepting a place as possible for it's citizens (ie us). it's just like kindergarten: if you steal someone else's toy you get in trouble, and through that you learn you shouldn't take other people's property. the law is there for people who do not know what the right behaviour is.

most people who commit crimes do not have this desire to do the wrong thing. they have had little education and/or have been disadvantaged in their upbringing eg. poverty or child abuse. they have not been taught about their other options.

if you take this into consideration then it is perfectly acceptable for the government to force people within society not to discriminate, much like a kindergarten teacher. employers are doing the wrong thing if they discriminate for the wrong reasons and need to learn correct behaviour.

there should be no discrimination based on religious beliefs when we live in a shrinking interdependant global community. religious beliefs are still personal beliefs, not a community's beliefs. hey, Jesus didn't tell prostitues and thieves to bugger off, and yet they were going against his personal beliefs.

The government knows what is objectively right and wrong.

Anyone who does not behave in the RIGHT way needs to be re-educated and forced to behave correctly.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us, dear leader.

Then the priest has no problem with someone interrupting a sermon with:

"POOFTERBAGS!"
