    Or he is standing on principle. Do you have any principles that would cause you to stand up and say "hell no, I am not going to have anything to do with this"? Or maybe you don't...there are many that don't seem to have any. Just because you don't agree with his principles, why do you feel the need to belittle him for his?

    If you are running a company, trying to make money to house and feed your family and one of your employees says he can't agree with what you are doing, so he won't do it, but will expect full pay, what would you do? Fire him and employ someone who will do as they are told for the money, or go broke to pay for his principals?

        It does seem a silly point to stand on. But, on the other hand, one has to start somewhere.

            Are you trying to say that a few words on the side of a bus are that threatening that he needs to find an excuse reason not to work for the day? He is stupid and simple or he would have laughed it off and got on with his job.

                The company is well within their rights to fire him for not doing his job. If the driver really believes in the stand he is making, then he should be prepared for and accept that consequence. If he is a good employee, then maybe it is to their advantage to accomondate him.

                        Dave, it could be argued that if you were to fire a person because of (1) his religious stance or (2) his right to expression or (3) to occasion discrimination, your company could be sued Schedule 1, part 2 article 9, article 10 and article 14 of the Human Rights Act 1998 is relevant. So you would need to find other ways to resolve the issue.

                              Not of this sort: it is trivial and risible and is also not very christian: are the beliefs (or otherwise) of others not allowed to be seen? Ar emy beliefs so upsetting to you that you could not even read them without have the strength to understand them without being turned? You give it a rest.

                                I feel very confident in saying that if someone put the ten commandments on the side of the buses you would be whining. So yeah, give it a rest.

                                Then you have no basis to complain that others might feel the same about your principles.

                                    Being a private individual excuses you from obeying the law? I don't think so. And he is a reprentitive of a public or private entity, he is an employee of a Public Transport Company.

                                      Not of this sort: it is trivial and risible and is also not very christian: are the beliefs (or otherwise) of others not allowed to be seen? Ar emy beliefs so upsetting to you that you could not even read them without have the strength to understand them without being turned? You give it a rest.

                                        I feel very confident in saying that if someone put the ten commandments on the side of the buses you would be whining. So yeah, give it a rest.

                                        Then you have no basis to complain that others might feel the same about your principles.

                                        You couldn't be more wrong if you had a masters in wrongness. The written word where it conflicts with my views I find well worth reading and trying to understand. If, having done that, my opinion chnages then all well and good; if not, no harm done. I doubt that there is a written form of words that would rattle my cage suffciently to put me in fear of those words or the meaning behind them.

                                        Well of course I don't: please feel free to take the piss as much as you want (I like a good laugh); I'll certainly take the piss out of you.

                                          Man refuses to drive 'No God' bus [^] I can only imagine how threatened this twat must feel by a sign on the side of a bus. Is his faith so weak that it could be turned by a few words on the side of a bus? Moron.

                                          Regardless of YOUR beliefs, I think the gentleman has as much rights as anyone to protest over his beliefs. By calling him weak-minded, you only reveal your prejudice in the matter. I don't happen to agree with his position either, but think you might be the moron here for disrespecting his right to protest.
