Religion is always about marketing, my friend.

But WHAT are they marketing?

Their holy bakery.   They want every fine xtian to get diabetes from eating their stuff.

They can't put up a sign that says "Whites Only....Niggers Keep Out."

So they tried this tactic.

Personally, if someone is prejudiced towards me, I want to know about it. Especially if their business is to give me something that goes inside my body. You can pass a law forcing people to do their job, but you can’t force them to do it right.

A few years ago, I was seeing a doctor whose behavior towards me was very disrespectful. I was sitting on the table while she and her nurse discussed my case a few feet away. Because of my hearing impairment, I was straining to hear what they were saying. When this doctor saw me trying to hear them she said. “Oh Rhonda, can you hear us?” Then they left the room. I sat there for five seconds trying to figure out what they could be saying about what’s going on in my body that I don’t need to know about. Needless to say, I switched doctors. A few years later, I heard that this sharp-as-a-bowling-ball bitch had gone out of business.

Call it sociopathy or whatever. I’m not here on Earth to correct other people’s personality disorders. And I will not spend my money in an establishment where I’m not treated with respect. Like my mother says, “Go where you are celebrated, not tolerated.”

They'd lose their shit, of course.  Religious freedom only applies to them.

And if it does, they'll ignore it, just like they say they're going to do with gay marriage.  These people are assholes.

There is nothing in the bible prohibiting a christian from interacting with "certain people", therefore it's not against any Christian belief....

Wait. stop. come back.  I'm not as verbaly violent as my fellow atheists however I must contest on this point https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?se...ersion=ESV
If that didn't come through correctly (my computer savy isn't the best) then ill explain what it means to me the casual reader.  It says don't associate with non-believers.  there are others. just google what the bible says about non-believers and you will see.  It's not pretty my friend.

That passage is about those that teach false doctrine.

Quote:2 John 10-11King James Version (KJV)
10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

also

Quote:Galatians 1:8
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

Quote:2 Timothy 3
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts

If you can't interact with unbelievers, how are you supposed to win them over?

Morning after pills are considered to be a form of contraception. Christers, with their ridiculous life at conception horseshit, consider the morning after pill to be abortion so some refuse to dispense based on a religion. Morning after pills are contraception, you're just going to have to deal with it.

*emphasis mine*
Maybe people would be able to comprehend you if you were more coherent.
Morning after pills are considered to be a form of contraception. - Cato

Morning after pills are contraception - Cato

Which is it?

Whether or not the pill is considered contraception / abortion is irrelevant, my original point was that the articles headline "Federal appeals court says pharmacy owners cannot use religion to deny medicine" made it seem like people were being denied medicine in general, which was not the case.

I'll post it again

Fucktard. 

Yes, when it contradict their beliefs, which providing contraception does... that's nothing new, Christians also don't believe in gay marriage, hence the refusal to make cakes.... also nothing new. however providing medicine in general doesn't contradict anyone's belief, and if it did, boy did he choose the wrong profession.

You brain must be as smooth as a boiled egg..

The day will come, and may already be here, when gays and women who use contraceptives will make themselves felt as a margin of profit and drive these futhermuckers out of business.

Somehow you got the idea that pointing to your avatar suits your agenda, so you know the meaning of the word boycott. Just remember, there's nothing a slave master or his god will give you that's designed to set you free.

What if my misanthropic religion prohibits treating people at all, and I'm a doctor? -_-

These idiots would rightfully scream if an atheist doctor refused to treat them. As much as I hate the likes of Rush Limpdick, if I came across him bleeding from a car accident, at that point he is a human in need, my personal dislike of him has no place in that context. I would want the same if I were in need of medical aid.

And it's not up to the pharmacist to decide if any particular medication is necessary for the patient. The fact that we are talking about the abortion pill has nothing to do with it. Suppose the person is diabetic and having a baby would kill her? This is not something the doctor has to justify to the pharmacist.

Just like in the military. You have a right to conscientious objection to war. You do not have the right to pick and choose which wars you will and won't fight in. For a pharmacist to dispense only medicines that don't conflict with his belief is like a soldier who only fights in wars against Muslims.
