Yes they should. If someone has a government job and the law says to give them out, then do it. If that persons religious beliefs puts them in a conflicting position at work then it's time for them to either A find a new job, or B find a new religion. Seperation of church and state.

L Is it fair to tell someone to find a new job or religion because of a new Law they put in place conflicts with that person's religion? Is it fair to tell someone to convert to a different religion because of their Job? Does Law Overrule one's religion?
-
No its not fair, but life isn't about fair all the time. Welcome to the real world.
-
What isn't fair is someone attempting to conduct a lawful activity being denied by an agent of the law who should be authorizing it. [i]That[/i] isn't fair. Or legal, I might add.
-
So is it fair to force the person into unemployment because they were determined to follow their religion? Or is it lawful to force them to directly disobey their religion which is protected by the Law? Wouldn't both be illegal?

[quote]If a Hindu works as a head chef in a restaurant that serves mainly chicken but then switches to lots of beef after he joins then should the restaurant be allowed to fire him for not doing his job and not serving beef because of his religion?

Neither are illegal. When they agree to take the position, they understand their job description. Perhaps if they were opposed, they shouldn't have taken the job. That is [i]not[/i] the fault of the marriage applicant.

And if I was hired [i]before[/i] the law went through, such is the case of the Kentucky Clerk? By your logic, it isn't my fault.

Edited by DB5: 9/4/2015 12:06:26 AMOf course, laws change all the time though. If you had objections, [i]you leave when the new policy comes into play[/i]. That's why employers distribute information regarding new, relevant legislation. By continuing employment, you consent to abide by the new rules. If a law didn't apply to a government employee because he became employed prior to the law, there'd be no point in passing or otherwise enacting the new law to begin with. As a government employee, you [b]have[/b] to uphold the duties of your position. I literally do not give a shit what someone's personal beliefs are -- they are obligated to carry out the functions of their employment. The law supersedes their qualms. A government employee who issues marriage licenses cannot deny them to a gay couple because of personal beliefs. Period. End of story.

To me it is if you work for the government. Just my opinion. I wasnt literally saying they should convert their whole religious beliefs. I'm just saying if those beliefs matter so much and a new law is passed and you're in that position then either look for another job or let it go and follow what the law says.
