Postal workers refused to deliver CDs of Bible readings after deciding they were ‘offensive material’.

Several churches had paid for discs with recordings of St Mark’s Gospel to be produced to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible.

They were due to be delivered to all households on the Channel Island of Jersey, but church leaders were stunned when they were told postal workers would not handle the 45,000 CDs.

The UK has gone insane

[Scythian]

Good work my fellow postal workers, soon your souls shall be mine, forever and ever will be your reward.

The UK continues to slide into the toilet. I’ll bet they wouldn’t dare to refuse to deliver 45,000 CDs of the Koran. They’d probably agree to deliver them crawling on their hands and knees. Cowards.

I wonder what the minority breakdown of the Royal Mail is?

This is the same country that stood up to Herman Goering’s Luftwaffe? Seriously?

[EGPWS]

'This decision was made on the basis of our terms and conditions which states that we have the right to refuse to distribute something that falls under the category of 'promotional material which could cause offence'

Yet, 99.9% of all other mail is deemed not to be offensive?

He should be fired for such a decision.

That was a select few... ; )

But I’ll bet “Playboy”, “Hustler”, and “Penthouse” make it through without any problems.

Who is the individual that made this ridiculous ruling?

[FlingWingFlyer]

These Postal “workers” sound like they are just a bunch of whining, lazy bass turds to me. If they don’t want to do their job, they need to find a new job.

So long, UK.
‘twas good to know ya.

But notice the voting on the anti-Christian type comments is overwhelmingly negative. There is hope yet.

Someone get the lights ... the sidewalks are already rolled up.

At the risk of being banned, I think it might be time to adopt a variation of "Remember The Alamo".

Something on the idea of ... I dunno ... Remember Hiroshima.

One point I’m confused about in the story. Did the church pay postage on the deliveries or was the Post Office delivering them for free? The story seems ambiguous on the point.

[SkyDancer]

Oh, okay - England. Figures. Maybe they should have mingled some Koran CD’s in with them.

[DManA]

GB has a state religion - Church of England. The Bible is still the sacred text for the Church I presume. So one department of the government is so offended by another department of government they refuse to cooperate with them? What a silly country.

[Pontiac]

If I refuse to do my job I get fired.

Fire their asses and hire some people who want to work.

These were the same clowns who allowed their cities to be burned to the ground by illegals and criminals during the riots and you still ask that question?
