Is there not a difference between submission and respect?

Of course. But you cannot require submission as a pre-requisite for volunteering to be a precinct worker in a state election. They could post a sign saying that they do not approve of anyone drinking coffee on their premesis, but they ought not to require it, unless it is prohibited in all polling facilities in the state.

Frankly I would "respect" the Mormons if they simply requested that (out of respect for their beliefs) people refrain from drinking coffee or tea or cola in their facility, and I would abide by their wishes, but it will be a cold day in Hell before I "submit."

And if it were a mosque and if they posted a sign "requesting" that I remove my shoes and cover my head, well... I would remove my shoes.

I wanted to take homer some of the tiles from the Dome of the rock for my bathroom...

They are pretty blue ones and all differnt hues...

I lived in Japan for a time and was used to taking of my shoes to enter the homes of friends...

We Americans did so at each others homes too...

(its amazing how much cleaner floors stay)

LOL

There was grumbling about the Dome but how often do you get to enter a building like that built 800 years ago ???

I would not do that for a mosque in order to vote though...

Religious restrictions are against the COTUS...

There is only one clothing restriction here...

If you are wearing a political shirt..you either cover it with a jacket or take it off if you are decently clad underneath it...

But other clothing are accceptable as long as it covers you decently...

It’s one thing to voluntry do something out of respect and quite another because one is forced to...

W@hen I was a child we wore hats to church...

other denominations didnt but I dont remember women being asked to leave if they visited with a bare head...
