Employers fear that complying with Title VII’s requirement in cases like ours may require some employers to violate their religious convictions.

Ah, of course.

Happily, my religious conviction is that these fine employers may fuck themselves, right in their touchholes.

I guess we’ll see who’s religion wins.

Mine too. Perfect.

Which holy book requires an employer to fire a gay employee?  I've spent some time studying different religions and have yet to have found an excerpt encouraging someone to do this.

John Galt incarnate!

I'm unaware of any exhortation  in any holy book  that  employers  fire homosexuals.

I've read and heard that the Bible teaches that homosexuality is an "abomination."

Having no interest in any holy book I  never checked to verify if it is true.

If there's no holy book telling you to fire gay people, then the fear about employers needing to violate religious convictions would seem to be stillborn.

Right. It's totally fine to hire liars, thieves, adulterers, idol worshipers, or murderers, but homosexuals are just as a step too far in the eyes of these people.

Lying and thieving (as well as murder) are all legitimate reasons to fire someone.  If you fire someone for idol worshipping though, you'll certainly be in legal trouble in the US.  :P

Saw a meme this morning that went like this:

If God has such a problem with gays, them why didn't he include them in the 10 Commandments? On the other hand, he's pissed that you're so jealous of my new bike.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
