Re: Pope launches attack on UK equality law
Ah I understand but I would assume the reason the focus is on Christians or more specifically Catholics is because it is the Pope who has made his objections loudest.
I agree with this bill because I see no harm in it. The law isn't going to force Mosques to suddenly employ women Imams or Churches Gay Priests. That is still up to them but in secular positions of employment, the law does come into force.
True, however the focus on it for everyone in this thread is on Christians, more specifically the catholics.
I have little doubt if this thread started as "Muslims Cleric launches attack....." because of them being forced to not discriminate in ways against women that there'd be some on here lauding this because they dislike the pope/christianity would be saying how its just bigoted anti-islamic fearmongering. At the same time, sadly, I imagine some trying to defend the pople would also be saying how its good they're finally forcing them out of the dark ages or some such idiocy.
When it comes to religion, often not just on this forum but anywhere on the net, I just haven't found many people who are consistant in their condemnation or views about things revolving around religions save for hardcore militant athiests who are consistant only in their utter contempt and hatred for it.
