religious conviction works for one religion

two mooslim truck drivers took a job that required hauling beer, they knew this when hired , they refused to haul the beer because of religion . they were fired and they sued and won 240k . they were supported by the omamba administration . why doesn't the same right protect the christian bakery owners ?? that bunch in the white house can't be gone soon enough. with hitlery it would be more of the same .

Because the employer-employee relationship is different than the business-customer relationship.

Edit: I stated that poorly. While the relationships are different, The situations play out the same. However, you are taking the wrong side of it. The employee and the customer are the parties protected by the Civil Rights Act. You are trying to equate the employee and the business, and those are the opposite sides of the equation.

iam taking the religious conviction side. the drivers knew in advance what the job required and took it anyway , then claimed religion . the business owner can't claim religion .............is it because, so far the business owners are christians ? the civil rights act sux, it is outdated and needs to be gone . i worked with the civil rights act when i was with a big corp, i thought it was unfair then !

The point is well taken. Why get a job to do something you won't do...........ah, I get it.

Why hire someone that will refuse to do the work you need done? The answer lie in our hiring laws. You cannot ask someone's religion in the interview process. But they can ask if they are opposed to hauling beer before hiring. Bad job of hiring.

The other question is why someone who knows a baker won't make a certain cake for them, asks the baker to make the cake.... ah, I get it.

We have set our legal system to reward poor choices and ignore common sense.
