    We are looking for suitable candidate for our famous Wicker Man festival.

    Are you perchance free next Thursday afternoon at Noon Chico ?
    I think they'd let you do that one during worktime Alf - no point in spending your whole lunch hour trying to get the damp little squib to burn

Instead what we get is gloating and mockery by the atheist tree huggers seems to me they have more in common with the jihadists than they care to admit.

    Thats where my argument falls to the ground John.

    Nevertheless I have decide to launch my own legal suite for religious discrimination, last week I was given a verbal warning by HR for conducting animal sacrifices in the company car park.

    I pointed out HR that this was a ritualistic part of my religious belief of Satinduism (c) and on the run up to Satrunalia, as part of my religious duty as a commited Satindusit, I have to perform an animal sacrifice every Thursday afternoon at noon whilst facing North.

    This was condemned as being unprofessional conduct, however I did get off the hook by pointing out that this religious activity was performed during my lunch break.

    But I think have a clear case of religious discrimination.

    Six figure sum here I come.

    If you believe in something that doesn't exist, then surely that calls into question your judgement. In this tough competitive business environment we don't need people who believe in omnipotent super beings. We need well-rounded people with few preconceived ideas who are grounded in reality and who can take responsibility for their own actions. We definitely don't need people who need a crutch to support their mental imbalance.

    Pathetic really.

    Seems that the BMA saw this opportunist for what he is ... a chancer.

    And would you like to hire somebody who resorts to dirty tricks ?

    I think not.

    Good point Alf

    Wouldnt be surprised if this chap just wasnt up to the job and he has used a smokescreen of religous discrimination to cover his shortfallings and try to steal money from his former employers.

    Sadly, I believe this applies also to a number of racial/sexual discrimination charges brought by other people, some of them not-white (gasp, am I allowed to say that, oh I just did!)

    From The Times

    Christian doctor 'was forced out'

    By Frances Gibb


    An eye specialist has accepted undisclosed damages after claiming that he was forced out of his job by Muslim colleagues.

    Joseph Erian took the United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust to an employment tribunal, stating that he was made to resign from the ophthalmology department of Pilgrim Hospital, Boston, after staff there discovered that he was a Christian.
    The tribunal, which started earlier this month, ended when the trust offered an out-of-court settlement and admitted that the problems surrounding Dr Erian’s case “were not his fault”.

    Dr Erian pursued his claim privately after the British Medical Association refused to back the case, Jane Jelly, his lawyer, said. He brought his case under the Employment Equality (Religion or Belief) Regulations 2003, which make it illegal to discriminate against someone on the grounds of their religion or beliefs.
    Wouldnt be surprised if this chap just wasnt up to the job and he has used a smokescreen of religous discrimination to cover his shortfallings and try to steal money from his former employers.

    Pathetic really.

    Why did the BMA (who are very conservative)) refuse to help him? I smell something more fishy going on. Sounds like he's after loads of Kerchiiing.
