I think, in very extreme cases, religious beliefs could (and should) prevent someone from being certified for a given profession. For example, you would not want a practicing MD who believes ONLY in the power of prayer to heal and will not prescribe medicine. That being said, I don’t think that condition applies in this case.
We are not talking about all religious cults—we are talking about the Christian religion which has embedded in it the principles of Natural Law by St. Thomas Aquinas which made it compatible with the constitution of America. All offshoots of Catholic doctrine are not necessarily aligned with Natural Law, although many are.
This country was based on the fundamental principles of Natural Law and God’s Laws, so we can not venture from those ideals unless we dump the whole meaning of the Constitution.
Islam is not compatible with our constitution because it has never been aligned with reason and the fundamental principles of nature.
IIt would be very hard for such a person to get through his internship, unless of course his method had a high success rate, so such a person is not likely to become a practicing MD.
A Christian, a sinner herself as we all are, is not supposed to counsel sinners?? That is what Christianity is all about, spreading the gospel through deed and word. A Christian is more likely to be a good counsellor for gays than another gay person would be.
This is all about the Left's effort to stamp out opposition, especially Christianity because Jesus competes with the state and the party for allegiance. For the Left to succeed Marxism must the accepted religion and no opposition is allowed.
The Constitution?? Old news!! We must move on!!
