5. Our rabbi...
...who worked as a chaplain for a governmental organization (which I prefer not to mention by name) is in the process of being removed from his post for speaking out against his fundie boss who believes that as far as religious services to be provided to members of this organization, one size should fit all. As long as it's his "size", obviously.

For example, this man created rules that made it really hard for catholic members to see a catholic priest, in case they wanted to see one. In fact, even the pope would have difficulty visiting this person. The catholic chaplain was fired for speaking out against this man and my rabbi is next for speaking out against some pretty disturbing events that happened lately.

I understand people having their religion and having the right to practice their faith. But to these people, freedom of religion means having the freedom to impose their crap down people's throats.
