Message: [QUOTE="Midean, post: 3223191, member: 10185"] Here's the thing. We live in a society where religion is prevalent. Every town has a church and a mosque, and every town has its share of religious followers who congregate in those places to be taught (indoctrinated) about their faith, and the laws and beliefs that make up the foundation of their religion. It doesn't matter if you or i agree with those teachings, we have no right to tell them what to believe or how to behave. One of the core teachings of Islam and Christianity is that certain sins will send you to hell. Both faiths teach their followers to spread the word of their respective deities, and modern freedoms allow them to do this, again, regardless of weather or not you agree with this, they are perfectly, and legally within their rights to do so. So to restrict a persons employment based on their religion, and religious practices is discrimination no matter how you spin it, as it is not illegal to do any of these things regardless of how morally reprehensible we may find them. I am playing devils advocate here and have made it perfectly clear that i wholeheartedly disagree with Izzy's views. However, to think that there are contracts being made in professions telling a person they cannot practice their faith in public for fear of losing their jobs is in itself an act of discrimination no different to telling someone they cannot work here if they talk about their sexuality in public. Edit: There is a reason ARU payed Folau a settlement for this very topic we are discussing, and also i think, the reason the NRL are being as delicate as they can with it, as the law is on Izzy's side in this.
