I was interested in the exceptions, given the critical mass movement in the community away from discrimination, and it's detailed perfectly on your link, the religious section being:
"Religious exceptions
Religious bodies and religious schools can discriminate against a person on the basis of a personal characteristic in certain circumstances that include:
ordinating or appointing priests, ministers of religion or members of a religious order
training or educating people seeking ordination or appointment as priests, ministers of religion or members of a religious order
selecting or appointing people to perform functions relating to, or participating in, any religious observance or practice.
Religious bodies and religious schools can discriminate on the basis of a person’s religious belief or activity, sex, sexual orientation, lawful sexual activity, marital status, parental status or gender identity where the discrimination conforms to the doctrines, beliefs or principles of the religion or is reasonably necessary to avoid injury to the religious sensitivities of people who follow the religion.
However, religious bodies and religious schools cannot discriminate on the grounds of race, disability, age, physical features, industrial or employment activity, carer status, political belief or activity, pregnancy, breastfeeding or on the basis of a personal association with a person with any protected characteristic.
Religious bodies and religious schools can also allow a person to discriminate against another person on the grounds of the person's religious belief or activity, sex, sexual orientation, lawful sexual activity, marital status, parental status or gender identity if the discrimination is reasonably necessary for the first person to comply with the doctrines, beliefs or principles of their religion.
The term ‘reasonably necessary’ requires an objective assessment of whether the discrimination is necessary."
Shrill posts? I guess I can only speak for myself but I always put great effort into challenging ideas not attacking people.It's mostly the ones who just make assertions; in your case you are usually able to get me hitting the books.
Threads no, but interminable posts miss-aimed often at just the Bible, or Christ, or Churches - yes.
