You should not be in a profession where your religious views get in the way of your duties. You don't see me trying to become a priest so that I can forbid to teach religious people the views I don't agree with, do you? If you are opposed to selling birth control and other things like that, don't be a pharmacist; don't work there. Don't tell me that's what they trained for and they should be allowed to do their job - because there are other things they can do if they can't put up with the fact that their "faith must be checked at the door" (actual quote). Why did they go into that profession in the first place if their views were so opposed to what their choice of job was going to be? As I've said before, I have no problem with people having their own views about religion - as long as they don't interfere with other people's views. What they are showing in this article is despicable. I do NOT endorse these "christian-pharmacists" or "christian doctors." It's not that I mind that they're christian, it's that I mind that their "christian views" (which in my opinion aren't quite correct even by the christian teachings, but that's my opinion) are prohibiting other people from DOING THEIR JOB. And why is this such a big deal with the christians? I know a lot of non-christian religious people who are pharmacists and doctors (or other professions that may be "conflicting" with their religion); the only time their religion interferes with their work is on religious holidays, which are either given to them or they take off those days - they don't refuse to do their jobs.
Just another example of where religion is poking its head where it shouldn't. Religion, science, business, and politics - STAY OUT OF EACH OTHERS BUSINESS, PLEASE. How many times to I have to see things like this before someone gets the idea?
And when will I finally get out of this country, since it's obviously not likely to change?
