A graphic designer is suing a hotel after claiming he was turned down for a job there because he is a Christian.
Jamie Haxby said he felt “victimized and persecuted” after allegedly being told he could not design adverts for the Essex venue due to his faith.

Not just Congress but also the Supreme Court is exempt.
Relax, thank the Almighty, and go work for some place that doesn’t let the rooms by the hour...
can we use the same ‘logic’ when atheists or liberals come for a job?
after all, they upset any religious/spiritual/conservative types
Not for much longer though...
Reminds me of an old Playboy cartoon from 45 years ago.
In a European cathedral the tourists are all over the place looking up at the frescoes.
An old woman walks in, falls to her knees and begins to pray.
A guard comes over and says....”Please madam! You are bothering the tourists!”
The list of groups you CAN discriminate against includes Christians, Jews and smokers.
The list of groups you can’t includes felons.
Thanks Olog-hai.
more “taller ants”
Yeah, must not unset the atheists by being a Christian.
I wonder if those atheists would also be upset by a Muslim.
