9-0 Supreme court decision supports religious freedom......a good day for freedom in America....

[struth]

Slippery slope on what someone who claims to be religious can demand of an employer

this wasn’t any employer it was the federal govt

 

[Missourian]

So, basically a Jew can demand Friday nights and Saturdays off
A Christian can demand Sundays off

Looks like Atheists are working weekends

I'm not seeing a downside.

Just noting. Technically it is not the government.

Employees are not considered federal employees.

Yeah, I don't want to get deep into this.

 

[Missourian]

Foundational freedoms like using religion to determine what days/times you can work? Sure, I don’t have a problem with that.

Just don’t be surprised when people make up wacky religions so that they can determine their own work schedule. You know, foundational freedoms and all.

Well... They already make up wacky genders and wackier pronouns.

You're good with that of course... Like a good lefty.

Pronouns and stuff don’t bother me.

You good with people using goofy religions to dictate their work schedules?

The citizenry is on the side of the employee. Hurts doesn't it?

If you're good with wacky pronouns and genders... Why not wacky religions???

That's a logical inconsistency.

No, it's an independent agency that works for the government.

Again, not really interested in this argument but that is how it is set up.

When did I say I’m not good with wacky religions?

If you want to believe in a magical pixie fart that forbids you from working Friday-Sunday, go for it. Fine with me.

i don’t have a problem with religion, so long as they use pronouns properly.

once they don’t i lose respect and find them goofy

if a priest or a rabbi referred to themselves as a “them” or “they” for example

See Target and Muslims not wanting to handle pork. If it is consistent, I support them. Do you?

As John Adams said, the Constitution was for a moral people. Paganism is not moral.

Why not?

Run them off!!!

And? Free speech was akin to a printing press.

Nope...two separate rights enumerated in the 1st Amendment.

This Country was founded by Christians. Our laws are based on Judeo Christian ethics…. Which extend to tolerance of non-Christians and non believers.

 

[bodecea]

The more obvious appeal to the Christian God, of course, is the American charter, which refers to Him four times

So what.

You have no tolerance.... christians can be treated just like the rest of us.

Then why are you complaining?

 

[bodecea]

I think a private company should be able to set the schedule they want......the USPS is a government agency and shouldn't be allowed to violate Rights...........

Bake that cake?
