| Joelcool7 said: Also civil servents have the right to their religious beliefs as well. I'll illustrate this another way. A vegetarian who works for a company is brought to a BBQ. At that BBQ everyone in the company eats meat they ask the Vegetarian to eat a hot dog, the Vegetarian doesn't want to eat the hot dog and declines, so that Vegetarian is then fired for declining the hot dog. |
Hah, they're entitled to their religious beliefs, but should not be allowed to push them onto others.
In order to reword your analogy, your stance implies that the vegeterian doesn't eat the hotdog and then starts to forbid others from eating hotdogs too. See how it works?
| Joelcool7 said: Their are plenty civil servents and pastor's who would be fully willing to do a gay marriage, so why force those with opposing beliefs to do them? Infact why change the definition of a word because a minority group finds the word offensive? |
Can you make up your mind? Are you against gays getitng married, or forcing people to marry gays? Personally, I'm against the second one. However, if this is a civil servant, paid by the government who has to cater to the rights of EVERYBODY, I'd call that not being able to do your job properly.
| Joelcool7 said: Canada, USA, Britian we are all democracies that supposedly respect free will and freedom's of religion and speech. Seperation of church and state does not mean that religious people shouldn't have any Government rights. Also a minority group in a democracy does not have the right to change the laws against the majority of people's views. |
See, you really should do your research. That's the difference between a Democracy and a Republic. The US constitution has what is known as a Bill of Rights, which are there to protect the rights of civilians, INCLUDING THOSE IN THE MINORITY. Hence why Prop 8 was overturned, as the judge declared it....you guessed it....unconstitutional.
