The initial status hearing is set for July 5th.
I personally think he has a strong case, and hope he wins it.
If that's the case, i take my last statement back. He will loose. Gibbs made so many legal blunders it was pathetic.
As a Christian, I don't want to see Christians fired for their religious beliefs. One of the fundamental freedoms we enjoy is the freedom to express our religous beliefs. I'm a firm believer that no American, not a Christian, not a Jew, not a Muslim (yep, even them), not a Wiccan, not anyone should have to hide their religious affiliations.
As a capitalist, I don't want a company like Allstate to have to put up with anyone, Christian or otherwise, who's activities might drive customers away. I see clearly how it's in the best interest of the bottom line for anyone in business to want to employees who do their best to offend no one. Politics and religion breed strong feelings, and strong feelings are often at odds with customer relations, and that's just a fact.
As an individual, I like freedom period. I like the idea that this guy was free to choose to work for Allstate, and I like the idea that Allstate was free to fire him. The idea that government can force anyone to hire or retain anyone else just rubs me the wrong way.
