Theology IV

[Nurvingiel]

Lief, thank you so much for your well thought-out perspective on women bishops. You know me well enough to know that I profoundly disagree with everything you said (especially the feminist movement for equality between men and women contributing to the breakdown of the family unit ), but what you said about Christian symbolism really illuminated the other side for me. So, thanks a lot.

He has sought the opportunity to do this to Christ Himself. The Eucharist is Jesus Christ. Therefore yes, the man definitely deserves to be fired.

At the very least.

I'm a Christian, and therefore think what he wants to do is really wrong. However, I don't think the Eucharist actually is Jesus Christ. Not all Christians believe that you know, even ones less "liberal" than me.

One might argue that he is showing religious intolerance, which would be grounds for firing him, except that he isn't discriminating against a co-worker (which would be the precedent for such a dismissal). He very well could get canned. I doubt he's making himself popular at work stirring up all this controversy. People have been fired for less.

So we'll see.
