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.

#7 By law can the pastor be denied his employment in his chosen profession based on his personal beliefs. You know someone will consider this a serious point. |

#6 By law can the pastor be denied his employment in his chosen profession based on his personal beliefs. This is the question? This should be a joke but in the current state of our culture this point will be considered valid. |

#5 There's the boys. I knew they'd be around. Maybe they'll claim this guy when he gets put on waivers by the Danes. |

#4 Libhawk would say this post and the next have nothing to do with the war on terror. But he would be wrong. Jihadis look at this stuff and think that christendom is rotten to the core and would fall with one strong kick. God knows we won't fall that easy, but evidently He thinks that we could use a kick or two. |

#3 Geepers Fred, you're slipping -- you only LINKED to our favorite Druid and didn't embed the picture. If this is because of the coming server bill, don't knock over the corner gas station, let us know. |

#2 The suspension gives them time to think about what to do next. As if they really need to think about it... |

#1 Suspended a whole week for not believing in God. I'm guessing the Anglican church in Europe will snatch this guy up in a heartbeat. |
