Couple of months ago I was filling up at a petrol station when a WAPOL MRAP turned up next to me. Why the WA Police need protection from anti-vehicle mines is anybody's guess.

So my Seek searches have pulled up a job that I'm qualified for, but is openly Christian and demanding that the applicant be of a Christian faith. What do people recommend? Apply anyway and just gloss over the fact I'm an atheist, or just not even bother applying because that's a can of worms that'll open inevitably and not be pretty when it does?

Yeah, I was pretty sure it was discrimination, and so not actually stopping me from applying to it. I was mostly asking because, well, it's a hardline Christian place, which is a workplace environment that I'm not surprised to hear isn't super healthy.

It's really easy to pretend to be Christian, because odds are whoever asks you about it, like 99% of Christians, hasn't actually read the Bible.

SadisTech posted:Requesting Advice This sounds like a terrible idea to me. I read it as: "Hi. I can't convince anyone that is in the business of lending money to loan me enough money to buy this place, but I'm hoping I can convince you. How about I give you half now and we hope for the best over the next few years." There's plenty of nice, well meaning people that are terrible with money out there. You can probably name a dozen of your friends that fit that description. This guy sounds like one of them. Selling property always takes a significant amount of time - generally months but sometimes years. If you can't afford to have it sit there unoccupied while you look for a buyer you should consider looking for a tenant.

Murodese posted:Is that legal? It actually is legal, unfortunately. Religious institutions and schools have exemptions from discrimination legislation. The other employer that has an exemption is the military. Exemption can also be granted for certain categories of jobs where there is an inherent requirement these include actors/models, fitting room attendant or where there is a specific physical standard required eg the police are allowed to not hire people in wheelchairs.

Yeah, it's great how the acts and exemptions stop people from discriminating on the basis of religion whilst allowing religious institutions to discriminate on the basis of religion.
