I was partially being sarcastic, but considering the legal ramifications of disallowing the practice of their religion in this country, at present, I believe my original statement stands.
Hypothetical situation. If Christians had to pray 3 times a day the country would revolve around having 3 breaks a day. It would be in the law and would be accepted by all. What then when a Muslim business owner decides you’re no longer allowed to practice your required 3 prayers a day? Is he not breaking the law? I believe he is, according to the law of the land.
Dislike for muslims aside, there’s entirely too much thoughtless hatred and too little selflessness nowadays. I would expect the same standards to be applied toward Hindu, Buddhist, Catholic, Jewish, and Mormons as is applied to Christians in general.
So long as they’re following our laws I believe we’re obligated to do the same.
Although Swift made the right move in this...why didnt they hire Americans in the first place?
No sympathy for an anti-American company that refuses to hire Americans...esp after you were busted earlier for hiring illegal-alien non-Americans.
Its ironic that the Faith of Hate may take down an anti-American employer. An anti-American company gets taken down because of its anti-Americanism....at least one of America’s enemies will be taken down...
just a thought, but if the govt. forces a private company or small business owner, to essentially run their business based partially on the requirements of a particular religion, doesn’t this violate the “separation of church and state” that the aclu is eternally bashing for?

Sunday has been a day of rest for practicing Christians for many years. Christians have been told in the courts to take a hike for the past thirty years. Our laws obay Mammon not religions.

Hypotheticals don’t count, name one modern business practice or business law that originated purely as an accomodation of Christian religious practice. The only thing I can think of is the old blue laws about what can be sold on Sunday and they are fading out, even South Carolina has loosened the blue laws and probably will wind up eliminating them. I certainly can’t imagine a business making provisions so that Christians can pray at a certain time.
It is true that holidays are observed for Easter, Christmas etc. but some people have to work those days whether or not they are Christian. Are Muslims going to work on their “holy” days if they are emergency workers? All this insistence on special accomodations for their prayer times etc. is just the nose of the camel.
At issue is a contractual agreement. The workers had agreed to the terms of the contract. They changed their minds. Hatred has nothing to do with it.
