Please repost. Was it the Bronx church thing? Christians are a protected class under US Federal Civil Rights legislation. ALL religions are protected. We've discussed this repeatedly in this thread. Tax exempt is another discussion entirely, but no I don't think only religions should be...

How about the very legislation in Hutchinson? Employment and residence? You are OK with a person firing someone simply for being Christian? Or evicting them for being Christian?

Religion is a personal belief. For purposes of this discussion, homosexuality is a personal belief Religion is a protected class. The original article was about making homosexuals a protected class. Outrage ensued So why is religion OK as a protected class but not homosexuality?

In a land as lush as North Dakota, there is only really one color that makes sense ND plays Montana this weekend. If I get a chance to watch, I'll look for him

Two kudos. You brought up a lot of interesting points that went unanswered I did notice that about this thread. When the questions get hard, they get ignored for the most part

Didn't see the game. He had a pick though.

And kudos to you on this. This has been a good discussion. I've learned quite a bit.

Should religion be a protected class? After all, it is a lifestyle choice.

Possibly. It certainly has been a long and drawn out affair from the perspective of the Bronx Church. I only agree with the Establishment Clause from the standpoint that it should prevent the government from appearing to give favoritism to one religion over another. The biggest advantage to...

Sure, you started the thread with this comment You then proceeded to post an article that is over a year old. It is from April 23, 2012. It wasn't like you stumbled upon it. Furthermore, the proposed legislation which the whole article is based upon was voted down......in November 2012...

Marcus Williams - CB - North Dakota State NDSU is the two time defending FCS national champ. 18 career interceptions, 5 returned for touchdowns. Probably one of the top FCS draft prospects.

Religion is a protected class under federal civil rights legislation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Rights_Act_of_1964 I don't think you are right. I think things have changed. This is still winding through the courts, however, from what I can gather, the church is still allowed to use...

Me. Brought up a lesbian book club. Taught VTA a thing or two about discrimination. Exposed JBond as a fraudulent troll. Showed the hypocrisy of protecting religion in discrimination legislation but opposing homosexuality.:whistle

I only classified homosexuality as a lifestyle choice for purposes of this discussion. Maybe a poor classification on my part, but I was trying to demonstrate parallels in this discussion which you've either missed or ignored. So, by your argument, does something have to be biologically innate...

Agreed. Dbair and Mids attempt are the forum equivalent of writing in crayon

Need more options. (C) Neither (D) Hostile

I think you are confusing sexual preference with sexual orientation. That is a completely different debate and not one I care to get into. For argument's sake though, let's proceed with your stance that is a preference. So, I'll come back to the same example I continue to use. Choice of...

I did as well. Actually alerted the Cowboys via email that they should take a look at him.

My biggest beef with him was as an offensive coordinator. My second biggest concern is that he's basically learning to be a HC on the job while the window for players like Witten, Ware and Romo slips away. I actually don't think Jerry will fire him unless things are a trainwreck. Garrett...

It is unique to homosexuals. Technically, religion also transcends class, gender, race, etc. as well. A satanic cult would be a religion, correct? So, yes, it would probably be discriminatory to exclude satanists. The only reason I linked them is because they are linked by this country's...
