re: #8 Slumbering Behemoth

Yeah, it’s a bizarre story. How would people react if a Jewish or Muslim bus driver refused to take someone to IHOP because they serve bacon there?

Not a very good analogy, I know. Perhaps even a crappy one. Still, it’s just as absurd.

No, that’s good— I was trying to come up with an analogy like that but I was so angry, and I reckoned if I did I’d do it badly and it could detract from the point of the post (people would get their outrage on over that).

Imagine an atheist busdriver who won’t shuttle people to religious worship, or a vegetarian driver who won’t take you to a restaurant, or a Democrat who won’t take you to the GOP convention. It’s absurd!
No one would ever pretend there were conscience clause exemptions for those, the whole idea would be laughable. But here?

And let’s not even speak of the foaming rage and froth that would occur in some quarters if Muslims won the right to take a day off work for a holiday— oh hey, that does happen. Just rubbish.
