It oversimplifies things to say that a Christian should get another job. The jobs that a Christian can hold in such cases is rapidly diminishing and is not limited to government jobs. For example, what if you run a bed and breakfast but cannot in good conscience allow homosexual couples to share the same bed in your home? That has already been ruled against. Many other examples could be given. And a significant percentage of jobs are government jobs. In Canada, their highest court has effectively ruled that school teachers cannot hold to conservative religious beliefs either inside of the classroom or even outside of it. Where does it all end? Somewhere we need to make a stand.
We will have all out “Jim Crow” status in this country for those who object to gay marriage because of the SCOTUS gay marriage ruling sooner or later.
I agree, but this is really not the right place to “make a stand.” A person employed by the government does the government’s bidding, or else. If a court allows anyone to make a religious exception for their job, then it’s only a matter of time before Muslims in public positions would be permitted to refuse any kind of accommodations for non-Muslims.
