I'm an atheist, pastor declares
A Danish pastor in the state Protestant Church has been suspended from his job after admitting he does not believe in God. The Danish news agency Ritzau says Pastor Thorkild Grosboell revealed his religious beliefs, or lack thereof, in a newspaper interview published at the weekend. Bishop Lise-Lotte Rebel described the pastor's comments as totally unacceptable and suspended him for one week.
| An entire week? That long? Isn't that pretty severe? I mean, it's only apostasy... |
She says while the church has a lot of room for diversity, Pastor Grosboell's complete lack of faith has pushed things too far.
Pastor Grosboell has remained reasonably tight-lipped, saying he is sick and tired of preaching about his views.
| Why'd he become a preacher then? |
