According to Coleman and his lawsuit, owner Joel Dahl told him all employees were required to partake in regular Bible study sessions led by a Christian pastor during the work day, while on the clock.

Getting fired is the least of his problems. Wait until he gets to hell.

If my boss wants me to attend Bible study and he is willing to pay me and I am on his time, I am doing it I would consider it just another part of the workday.

I'd be pissed too, but I also feel like a private company should have that right.

“This is so illegal,” said Corinne Schram, a Portland attorney representing Coleman. “Unless you are a religious organization like a church, you cannot force your employees to participate in religious activities.”

Dahl's Albany attorney, Kent Hickam, doesn't dispute that Dahl requires all of his employees to attend Bible study, but says it’s legal because Dahl pays them to attend.

Soooo who's right?

you are supposed to keep you friends close but your enemies closer.

I would want to learn as much as I could about this enemy religion.

knowledge is power, so why is he decreasing his knowledge that could help him in the future.
