You know it doesn't.
This self-righteous christian bigot has allowed her religious beliefs to lead her down a road of insubordination. If her required duties offend her religious sensibilities, perhaps she should be a grownup about it and look for work elsewhere. I am sure there is a gay hating church around there somewhere who would be glad to have her as their poster boy/girl.
That isn't the point. You agree to court mandated freedoms for a chosen lifestyle by transgenders, but dispute that a religious person with a moral objection based on their chosen religion should also be protected by law. She has every right under the law to object to a duty which compromises her moral standards, and the state is required to accomodate her. Just as employers in California are required to accomodate their employees to dress up as the opposite gender because they choose to live that way. Basically, what you're saying is, no one should legally be accomodated for their religious beliefs, yet you have no trouble mandating that legal protection for other beliefs and lifestyles. In short, hypocripsy. Your position is simply one of your own deep seated bias.
You are in error luce....
The point is that this person's job is compromised by their religious freedom to the point that this person is incapable to do their job. Bottom line is find a job that is in keeping with their religious freedom and allow others their religious human rights freedoms.
Stop blaming everything on atheists, your own bias is detrimental to your arguments.
