He fund raises for his church, and it is widely acknowledged that he contributes to pro-life causes, hands out flyers decrying same-sex marriage, and has publically voiced the opinion that atheists shouldn't be allowed to stand for political office. It goes without saying that a portion of what you pay him for his work is going to go to fund causes with which you vehemently disagree. Bearing in mind that he is the BEST builder available to you, would you hire him, or would you go with the local atheist builder, who's work isn't as good?I wouldn't hire him. Not because he's a theist but because I don't agree with his political positions. I don't care why he's pro-life, I simply wouldn't want to fund that cause; I don't care why he wants a section of the population banned from political office, I just don't want to be associated with bigots. I take this stance every day with my shopping habits; the stores I refuse to frequent or the products I refuse to buy.
Sum ergo sum
