He obviously doesn't think so.

As with most religious loons, he is happy to protest at others sins before attending to his own adherence to his religious tennets.

In Christianity, AIUI, if there is a conflict between conscience and the law of the land, then you go along with conscience and accept the consequences of breaking the law.

he was acting in an unchristian manner anyway so there shouldn't have been a conflict between law and conscience

Sounds like we are too fooked up....

Not something I think many people agree with if the reaction to the story is anything to go by (Inc plenty of Muslims). Sainsbury's being a little too PC imo.

But I'm still thinking someone should ask for Elizabeth's contact details here. Come on Zeity - you know you want to!

No - in the eyes of some religions, it is wrong.

Despite having a state religion, the law takes precedence, therefore he was wrong. Maybe an OTT reaction, but without knowing exactly what was said (either this time or on other occasions), then it's difficult to judge (or it should be).

Not knowing Leigh particularly well (apart from knowing that they are lobby-gobblers, and that's where some ugly schoolgirl who ran off with a US marine some years ago was from), it sounds like this might have been a deliberate campaign against one person. Why else stage a protest outside where he works, and put offensive notices on the board where he works?

Of course, Leigh may be tiny and have nowhere else to go...

I've come across people in Leigh who've never even been to Manchester (few miles down the road!) Disturbing!!

Sounds to me like he's got issues with this guy and everyone should be allowed to work in an environment that is safe. The ol' fella went too far.

AFAIK christianity teaches forgiveness, love for your fellowman and acceptance. It does NOT preach ignoring or refusing to be served by sinners

Islam preaches peace and compassion...not murder and slaughter...
