'Inequality in a dog collar': how the Religious Discrimination Bill hands more power to the powerful : Comments

By Rodney Croome, published 21/10/2019

How do proponents of the Government's appalling Bigots' Charter justify granting special legal privileges to religious people and their beliefs?

Hey ttbn,

So I take it you didn't celebrate IDAHOBIT Day and run an event at your workplace like a BBQ, morning tea, trivia night or after work drinks or ask your CEO to write a blog or article in support of LGBTI staff and customers with a commitment to how your organisation is supporting LGBTIQ diversity?
No?

And you probably won't be celebrating or going along to Drag Queen Story Time either right?

And I guess you'd also then be outraged that this billboard was banned.

Obviously, you must be some kind of an intolerant bigoted xenophobe.
That's just not very liberal or progressive in 2019.
Shame on you for letting the movement down.

Thankfully we can all look forward to celebrating the Gay Olympics in Sydney in 2023

I was not aware that any school was teaching children
about what was normal or not normal in sexual matters -
be it in sexual orientation, transgender, or anything
else. My understanding is that schools have anti-bullying
programs that try to provide a safe environment for all
children - and encourage them to treat each other with
respect and understanding. Surely that is something that
we should all approve of? Indoctrination of any kind -
be it religious or any other is not healthy.

Handing more power in legislation to religious people in a
secular country such as ours -
is a disaster for any civilised society. What about sharia
laws? Should those be legalised and allowed?

Al.

Firstly and foremostly, there is no gay gene. You say there might be. There isn't.
Moving along now.
Secondly and importantly, I note a new disturbing trend in gay rights hate speech, (which this piece is a classic example).
The new trend is drawing in single parents as on a par with homosexuals. There is totally no comparison.

Rodney Croome can lie his head off, since he has no God to be accountable to. And herein lies the context of the proposed religious protections; to protect the "conscience" of those luckily gifted with one.

The other waffle on the subject you appear to be sadly trapped in, is the seventy percent of the yes vote.
Without a doubt, after years of a relentless attack by the pro-gay mass media campaign, which sided with the cult of homosexuality, by beating up a non-existent persecution of gays etc in society, and the essential banality of the story they told as the truth over many years, I would discount out any real connection to a mass acceptance of their cause.

This piece of tripe by Rodney Cooms, is firmly and correctly filed under the heading "lies and exaggerations".

Over to you!

It gets worse. I asked my MP for clarification.
This was my question;
I recently wrote to you about the pending legislation on religious rights
and how it could affect employers. I have not yet had a reply.
I made the point about an employer who might refuse to employ a moslem
because as a moslem he approves of the Koran's exhortations to kill unbelievers wherever you find them.

As an example should the Paris police have refused employment of the moslem who a few
days ago murdered four police in the police station ?
I realise that in answering this question you will need to go out on a limb, but it is time for that !
This is the crunch line in his reply;
The Religious Discrimination Bill will make it unlawful to
discriminate against a person on the basis of their religious belief
or activity.

His reply is the law will prohibit refusing employment because of a
persons religion.
My question was do I have to employ a paerson whose religion requires
him to kill me if I refuse to join his religion.

It now seems quite clear that no matter that an applicant for job
cannot be refused because his religion requires him to kill you in
any number of different circumstances.
You would only need to say something in his hearing that was against
Islam and he would have grounds to kill you.

What have they done ?

Dear Bazz,

As far as I'm aware murder is illegal in this
country. And as we are a secular country -
religious laws don't and should not apply.
