race and religion is not practically equivalent to being a "member of an Organisation", if im not wrong. Religion, and spirituality are matters of the heart and soul and cannot be drawn parallels with any organized sect or anyhting of similar nature.

Race one can't choose and has to accept whatever he is by birth. So, discrimination on that base can be termed unfair because even if the person wants to join he couldn't because he simply can't change his race.
Religion on the other hand one can choose. I don't see it as any different from affiliation with an organisation. Whether he did it for heart, soul or his brain, is upto him, not my concern in this debate. And if the organisation places a condition of 'members only' for entry, then I won't say that they've done anything wrong. Their place their rules, take it or leave it.

yes, but i think you lost the point of the debate.To PRACTICALLY challenge the rules in practise or not, is not the point here. It is about the morality and logicality of those rules that are in place presently at that institution.

and yes, one can choose their religion.....but its still not exactly the same as choosing an office or a club....most of the time...people take for granted their religious identity...the one they were born into...hence it should be seen at par with Race.

So true. We touched upon gambling in that MB thread too. Love😆 the less said the better. Worst is when someone's having a crush. Anyone who tries to talk sense to these lost souls seems like an enemy😆 Eventually, they do come back on track though. Too bad can't say this for the ones with blind faith in religion and brainwashed by religion.

Talking of religion - I also find the "tit for tat" attitude laughable. Most start their pleas with - other religions do that then why can't we do the same! They don't think twice before jumping at other religions for doing something they disagree with but would still use that rationale to base their case on😆

Yes true. A good person is good no matter which religion he or she belongs to.

A bad person kills indiscriminately. Overdosage of religion too causes indigestion.

Love is a real heart break😲

A person sacrifices everything for his love and in the end finds that it was not worth it because his "darling" is in love with someone else.

The mind set of both men and women is different when it comes to love.

One is too serious and one too nonchalant.😆

The take for granted the limitations that religious places come with too.

^^ nope, religion does not nesseccarily include all the illogical demands and/or customs that come with it. if that, then we'd all be stuck in the middle ages.

It's not the religion (organisaion) which demanded, it can't because an organisation is not a structure or a building per se. It's that particular building where it is demanded that you be a member of the organisation of whose members it allows inside.

yep, and its that DEMAND which i deem as illogical and unreasonable, and see as fit for removal.

Yes, you might think it is illogical and fit for removal. But you can't press charges for discrimination. Your personal opinion as against a legal issue, see the difference?

End of debate from my side.

that may be so. but even a seemingly impermeable legal arena is open to a debate, because a debate has no restricted or specialized area.

k, see you.

You mean changing the law and making it mandatory for all religious places to allow entry for people of other religions?
