Christians can't turn down HYPOTHETICAL catering jobs but Muslims...

...who are truck drivers can refuse to transport liquor because it violates their beliefs and be backed up by the Federal Government.

Drunks are not a protected group.

Dang.

The first item on the Left agenda is Anti-Christianity...

Stupid. Don't agree with it at all.

How long did you have to search for a case from almost 2 years ago? :lol2:

Just popped up on my Facebook feed today but considering the outcry over the RFRA law I thought it was appropriate to show the double standard that exists in this country.

There's also the glaring difference that in this case they weren't refusing business with a specific group of people.

While I don't agree with it, you really don't see the differences here?

If this ever affects my getting my bacon egg and cheese biscuit I'll be upset then.

Same here. Apples and cucumbers.

I see a double standard. If a business owner can't refuse to do something on the grounds of deeply held religious beliefs then I don't think an employee should either, regardless of their religion. Obviously the Feds don't agree. Can't really say I'm surprised.

So you're completely ignoring the fact that in this case no group of people are being discriminated against?

I see two situations (one hypothetical, one real) where people held that their religious beliefs prevented them from doing something job related. I see one religion being told what you believe is irrelevant and the other being told that your beliefs outweigh the demands of a job you took.

Of course you do. You do understand their is a difference between alcohol and homosexuals, right?

Refusing to transport alcohol is infringing upon no ones rights and discriminating against no one.

Refusing to provide services, which you're in business for, to someone for being gay is discriminatory.

Seriously, you're smarter than this.

If religion has no place in business, as I believe your argument in the other thread stated, then it doesn't matter if you're discriminating against someone or not, religion simply has no place. If that's the standard then this is clearly a violation of that standard.

And how many times do you want me to say I don't agree with this before you get it that I think it's a stupid decision?

That doesn't mean the circumstances or issues are even remotely similar, because they aren't.
