    just a side note here, but in all ho esty there is vastly more circumstantial evidence for #peepeegate than there is for the god of abraham ever existing.Just FYI

    You use the words “vastly” and “circumstantial” in the same sentence to describe evidence.

    Which boils down to a large amount of nuthin’.

    would you have preferred "preponderance"? end result is the same, smoke=fire. In one circumstance there's not even smoke to be seen. Clarified?

    Breitbart: Construction Worker Sues Employer After Being Fired for Refusal to Attend Bible Study

    actually, mandating a religion for terms of employment may infact violate some laws. But the allegation is that it was revealed to him after he was employed. One article i read said the company would not comment because of the pending court case

    That would depend if the company was private.

    You know, like Twitter, or Facebook.

    Partially true.

    There is something called the Ministerial exception in the Title VII anti-discrimination laws that allows religious institutions such as churches to selectively discriminate potential employees based on things like gender, sexual orientation and religious beliefs. However, I believe that exemption is for declared religious institutions; by all accounts, the employer in this particular case is a construction company and isn't an organized religious institution.

    Oh I'm sure it's in violation of somebody's vision of church and state blah blah blah. And I will freely admit that I'm something of a hypocrite and the the double standard doesn't offend me all that much. It's still my belief that people who are part of mainstream religions are okay on the whole.

    I'm positive that there are plenty of decent, good people out there who believe in ghosts and alien abductions as well; that doesn't mean I should be forced to wear tinfoil hats and go puttering around in abandoned buildings and cemeteries with night vision cameras and EMF meters with them either. ?

    I did till about sophomore year. It managed to make me firmly an atheist. Another plus was that it produced a lot of repressed ladies who weren’t allowed to go to health class.

    I lasted until I was about 13 when I found myself looking around the room wondering if I was the only one who thought that it was all a bunch of bool sheet.
