When does your religion legally excuse you from doing part of your job? [View all] rug Sep 2015 OP

NEVER! Cartoonist Sep 2015 #1

That's not the law. rug Sep 2015 #3

I was responding to the question. Cartoonist Sep 2015 #5

The essay, rather lengthy, answers it. rug Sep 2015 #7

So you're calling cartoonist foolish Lordquinton Sep 2015 #8

You, and the jury you'll alert, would know if I called him a fool. rug Sep 2015 #9

"Don't you get tired of your jury games?" Says the guy who alert stalked while on forced vacation. cleanhippie Sep 2015 #10

I find it interesting that that is your only comment, albeit a stupid one, on the OP. rug Sep 2015 #12

Is that the Callous Dolts? Or the Dallas Colts? Warren Stupidity Sep 2015 #13

See #12. rug Sep 2015 #14

Lol, exactly! cleanhippie Sep 2015 #15

Someone seems bitter Lordquinton Sep 2015 #16

Yup, bitter indeed! cleanhippie Sep 2015 #20

Are you bitter that you can't post cartoons with impnity in here any more? rug Sep 2015 #22

Bitter you can't post right wing sources with impunity here anymore? Lordquinton Sep 2015 #37

Bitter you can come up with nothing of substance so you're reduced to pousting ad hominem bullshit? rug Sep 2015 #39

Don't you get the fact that this poster was responding with his/her own opinion... Silent3 Sep 2015 #19

Opinions, to be considered, should be informed by facts. rug Sep 2015 #21

Facts about current law don't add much... Silent3 Sep 2015 #23

If you're talking about religion and American society, the hell it does. rug Sep 2015 #24

Referring to the article could be part of defending having a different view... Silent3 Sep 2015 #25

Or, it could be what i said: read the article which answers the question. rug Sep 2015 #27

Although the question was "When does your religion legally excuse you from doing part of your job?" Silent3 Sep 2015 #40

Except privilege is an important part of this case Lordquinton Sep 2015 #30

The law is what curbs privilege. rug Sep 2015 #31

"The law is what curbs privilege." Lordquinton Sep 2015 #34

Of course it is. Oh, wait, you didn't read the article. rug Sep 2015 #35

"At the risk of diverting you from posting smileys" Lordquinton Sep 2015 #36

Her? The one put in jail by the law? rug Sep 2015 #38

Maybe if this were the HoF, or the AA room your comment would matter Lordquinton Sep 2015 #47

Do you think gender matters only in the HoF? rug Sep 2015 #48

I don't deny that cruz and i are both male Lordquinton Sep 2015 #56

That's a start. rug Sep 2015 #57

Looks like you touched a nerve. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #41

Oh my lord, we've got us a defender of the dreadful Kim. Warren Stupidity Sep 2015 #43

Yep! Atheists are criticizing her so they must be wrong! beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #45

If you get that ot if this thread, you're deeper in the hole than I thought. rug Sep 2015 #51

And who is that, Warren? Or are you reverting to make-up-shit mode? rug Sep 2015 #50

And people who claim persecoution for their (non)beliefs don't like to know their legal remedies. rug Sep 2015 #49

this doesn't even relate to the case at hand. when she got the job, there was no gay marriage. unblock Sep 2015 #26

But her job requires her to follow the law of the land as well Lordquinton Sep 2015 #29

i'm not defending her, her arguments are certainly terrible. unblock Sep 2015 #32

If you want her "to follow the law of the land", maybe you shold know what that is. rug Sep 2015 #33

Like a dolt of lightning, the mysterious 'u' key failure occurs right down thread. Warren Stupidity Sep 2015 #44

Warren, we were wrong Lordquinton Sep 2015 #46

What is a miracle is that you claim to be gided by reason. rug Sep 2015 #52

The Problem with that is that she knew very well that the laws can change LostOne4Ever Sep 2015 #42

The infinite array of possible religious objections based on rule of God are all made irrelevant by....the rule of law. Fred Sanders Sep 2015 #2

Can a prospective employer ask an applicant about her willingness/ability to perform certain jobs? Jim__ Sep 2015 #4

Not only can they, but it's a 'best practice,' if done correctly. TygrBright Sep 2015 #6

Thanks. That makes sense. Good interviewing should avoid problems - n/t Jim__ Sep 2015 #11

Then the employer could be strolling EvilAL Sep 2015 #18

There has to be a line drawn somewhere EvilAL Sep 2015 #17

No, the line is far from clear. I posted the article because it's the most concise smmary of the law rug Sep 2015 #28

How about this one: PassingFair Sep 2015 #53

Interesting they chose to photoshop a picture with a Sikh in it. rug Sep 2015 #58

Yeah, I'm sure there are EvilAL Sep 2015 #55

Interesting article. drm604 Sep 2015 #54

That's an interesting thought, have the Office, not the official, register. rug Sep 2015 #59
