"It's well worth $300 a day to seek out people who agree with our
goals and values."

Arthur Owens, president of Sports and Health Club Inc,. after a
Minnesota judge ordered the chain of fitness clubs to pay a $300
daily fine for hiring only born-again Christians.  Owens had listed
God as the owner of the business in papers he submitted to the court.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I am aware that there are anti-discrimination in hiring laws, but
frankly, if AO wants to surround himself with his own kind, I'm all
for it.

If anyone has more details on the case, I'd be interested in hearing
about it.

By the way, what is the legal status of God?  (Not that He's worried
by it, of course!)
