Religious discrimination.

[Louis VI the Fat]

Bah, this is why I dislike the preferential treatment of mass religion over all other held beliefs.

Me, I can't accept a teaching job and then sue because I can't wear my Darth Vader costume to work. I can't demand my employer gives me paid leave on every day with a '5' in its date because I consider five a holy number. I can't work at the post office and refuse to handle orange coloured mail as unclean.

Why can't I? Because freedom of religion does not protect freedom of religion at all. Instead, it grants priviliges to large, well-organised belief over individually held conviction. Freedom of religion is a gross infringement on freedom of thought. It is institutionalised discrimination.


This employee understands Britain very well - if only enough people squeak and whine then they'll be granted group priviliges over the rights of individuals. He is simply disciplining Britain into accomodating his obscure wishes.

long lunches

One of my tutors' first tasks was to disabuse them of these notions.

Now that's intolerable discrimination.

What of immigrants from nations who hold the right to two hour lunches sacred?
