[quote]But marriage licenses for homosexuals did not exist either, so there was no need to make a direct statement about that. However, God does say that homosexuality is an abomination, so anything concerning that is in the wrong.[/quote]
He never said that homosexual marriage is wrong, just that homosexual acts are wrong.
[quote]Also, that actually has happened plenty of times. It's just not in the news because no one cares. Schools have compromised themselves according to the rules of Muslim beliefs, however, it is not even allowed to say "God bless you." to someone who sneezes. Yet because a Muslim doesn't want to stand and do the pledge of alligence, he is accomidated because it would be "unethical" to not allow him to practice his religion.[/quote]
It would be unethical to not let him practice his religion or force him to do something that blatantly goes against his religion.
A clerk that doesn't want to issue marriage licenses to gays doesn't have to; he/she can always quit.

Therefore it being wrong But thats the thing. A person should not have to quit in order to practice their religion. If something comes against their religion they should not have to give up their jobs because they did not want to do something against their religion.

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? [spoiler]By "acts" I meant intercourse.[/spoiler]

Edited by Lord Sicarius: 9/4/2015 12:10:04 PMBut that's the difference. In Christianity, anything that has to do with the concept of homosexuality is wrong. Hindus simply cannot partake of any kind of beef.

Here's the similarities: the Christian clerk isn't doing her job because she disagrees with an aspect of it, the Hindu isn't doing his job because he disagrees with an aspect of it. It gets worse for the clerk, though. While the Hindu simply won't touch the beef because he thinks cows are sacred, the Christian clerk is purposefully and willingly discriminating against people based on sexual orientation. Discrimination is a crime, especially when done in a government office. The clerk both isn't doing her job but also committing a crime. Isn't that enough grounds to try to impeach her?
