[QUOTE="Verticordious, post: 57783264, member: 268459"] Correct, my answer is the same. If a company is dumb enough to fire me simply because I'm a Christian then I wouldn't be interested in working for them anyway. How is that any different than the employment issues that convicts face? Why is it ok to discriminate against thieves but not homosexuals? After all, thievery is just an alternative lifestyle. Some people earn a living by providing goods and services, and some people earn a living by stealing goods and services. Why shouldn't thieves be a protected class of citizens? Who are you to judge them? Obviously I'm being facetious, but the point still stands. The choice to discriminate against one person but not another is a moral and religious issue. You don't get the idea that thievery is wrong from science, you get it from religion. If you are not willing to accept that a God who gives us rules about behavior exists, then your only other grounds to claim that thievery is unacceptable behavior but homosexuality is acceptable behavior is personal opinion, and if it is merely your personal opinion then you have no grounds for criticizing others who have a different opinion. That comment was not intended to have anything to with sexual preference, I was making the point that, whenever possible, I only want to support companies who have strong family values. I'm not expecting companies to go in to their employees homes and examine their behavior, but when such behavior is done in plain sight I expect some action to be taken If I am to continue business with them. The business should then have the choice of terminating the employee if they wish because that employee's actions do financial affect the company. What difference would you be referring to? [/QUOTE]
