Get a divorce and lose your job

Wheaton College professor's divorce costs him his job -- chicagotribune.com

This popular professor decides to divorce his wife of 30 years, Christian College, sticking strictly to the Bible, doesnt like the idea too well. Divorce according to the Bible should happen only very rarely, and under special circumstances. I personally think this is rather messed up, and that this is a form of discrimination.

Another reason I do not like Christianity.

Though colleges are private establishments, they are still subject to labour laws. Unless Kent Gramm signed a contract stating that not following the Bible violates company policy and that he recognizes that termination may follow deviating from the Bible's tenets, this is a case for discrimination.

Unfortunately, he'd never even dream of suing; it would be sacrilege to sue an establishment of God. -_-

But I don't want to sue and establishment of God, I want to sue God himself! Wait, can I sue an imaginary being/idol/translucent deity in the sky/stars?

I say he sue, in the name of justice. I believe in institutions like this certain aspects of their personal life should be monitered, but when it comes to things like divorce, I think it is unimportant regarding on what you are teaching and how to do your job. And yea he also had to abide by the stupid rules and regulations of the college, dont remember reading if he had to sign or not, but I would assume he did.
