Well, I personally have a problem with "Christians" who follow the pagan Sun god's "holy day" rather than what is laid out in the bible. The Bible, from Genesis to Revelation NEVER declares Sunday the day of rests for his true people. But I digress...
This is a truly hard one.
It's not hard at all. The law of the land is that employers must respect the religious convictions of their employees, unless it would be a significant burden to do otherwise and a business as large as the one involved in this lawsuit can't possibly make that argument with a straight face.
Ah Christians aren't "his true people". Galatians 3: 26-29 Btw, I'm saved by grace not the law. Christ gave me the gift of grace. Christians worship on Sunday in remembrance of Christ being Risen on the first day of the week.

In this day and age, there are plenty of people that will claim special religious priviledge. There also needs to be common sense. And it IS a difficult question because of the potential for abuse. Do I think this man should win his case? He has a precedent that was overlooked by a new boss. He was allowed to have Sat off before so they can't can him now.
