megalithic Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 New guidance advises bosses to respect atheists and to “consider seriously” adapting work duties on faith grounds.

taxman Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Why should one bonkers religion get preference over another bonkers religion? As long as everyone gets the same rights, be they Christian, Muslim, Druid, Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster or Atheist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, though i have seen comments to the contrary, as it's a "Neo" religion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone believes that they have to go to a certain place when they would otherwise be at work, they can book a holiday day(s) well in advance just like others have to. Bizzarely, but not surprisingly, the Mail is trying claim it as an insult to Christianity ---------- Post added 08-04-2013 at 18:20 ---------- I agree, though i have seen comments to the contrary, as it's a "Neo" religion.

megalithic Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 Which one are you referring to? The whole of Taxmans post. Why should one bonkers religion get preference over another bonkers religion? As long as everyone gets the same rights, be they Christian, Muslim, Druid, Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster or Atheist. ---------- Post added 08-04-2013 at 19:15 ---------- The lunatics have finally taken over the asylum In fairness i know druids where their religion is their whole life, so i guess they're certainly entitled to rights along those of other faiths.

I know what you mean I'm just saying its pathetic that anyone can use religion for a day off work, if they want a day off put in a lieu day or A/L like non religious do.

WallBuilder Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I seem to remember one of the QI programs talking about henges and Stonehenge that isn't actually a henge. The other thing that was mentioned was that the idea that it was a place of importance or of interest to druids is a fairly new idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A typical henge will have the bank outside the ditch, Stonehenge is the opposite so technically it isn't a henge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
