In truth, there is only danger in rejecting the Bible if the Bible has value that cannot be found elsewhere. Many who reject the bible go on to embrace non-Biblical faiths. Do you mean to say that non-Biblical faiths have less value than Biblical faiths and are, as you put it, "truth of our own devices" "with no foundation other than ego"? I don't think it is whatyou mean to say, but i see little room for your words here to mean anything else. A good tree cannot give forth corrupt fruit. What are the fruits of the Bible, if not its believers?

I gotta go with Koki on this one. Dot your "i"s and cross your "t"s or you could end up in jail. "I thought I was qualified" is likely not a sufficient legal defense.

It's simpler than that. You set up a digital camera connected to a laptop and then paint yourself while looking at what the camera sees. Apparently, the process can take 10 hours...

Just as an FYI, if you use the media tags, youtube links look cooler...

I can't decide which is a funnier title, Knitting With Dog Hair or Dissection Guide for the Cat (and Selected Sheep Organs) But, really, the comment about the blurb on the back of that one book... Priceless.

Yeah. The vagaries of state and local tax codes get pretty complex. Before paying a professional, however, you might want to check the free(state, local and federal)tax help-lines and web pages, as well as resources in you area designed to help people starting a new small business. Just remember that free advice should always be taken with a grain of salt (especially free advice from strangers like me)...

It's not that simple. Not by a long shot. "Employers must permit employees to engage in religious expression, unless the religious expression would impose an undue hardship on the employer. Generally, an employer may not place more restrictions on religious expression than on other forms of expression that have a comparable effect on workplace efficiency." http://www.eeoc.gov/types/religion.html If he were complaining of sexual harassment, would you tell him to simply grin and bear it? Sometimes the paycheck is less valuable than what it takes to keep the job and you and I aren't really in a position to know how much his right to express his religion is worth to him.

I gave no advice. I merely pointed out the facts. Once you know that something is illegal, if you want to push the issue you go to a lawyer, who explains that sort of thing to you. Taking practical legal advice from random people on the internet is a bad idea. His ability to win a lawsuit will be based on many things, like the disposition of the judges who would have jurisdiction over a case he files, that someone outside the legal system couldn't possibly know. It is illegal to base firing decisions on an employees religion. The practical ramifications of this very simple and clear-cut fact are not know to me, nor to you.

They wouldn't have to. Sexual harassers rarely admit anything, but sexual harassment suits are successfully litigated all the time. After all, if convicting someone of a crime required a confession, we wouldn't bother with judges and juries. And, most importantly, being able to get away with breaking the law does not make what you did legal- and the question asked was about legality.

Nope. No matter what state you live in, Federal law prohibits religious discrimination in hiring and firing practices. More specific (and official) information about federal laws against religious discrimination can be found here.
