No Aunt Spiker said they couldn't so I'm confused. Can they? Or can't they?

this is just ignornat. You cannot justify religious discrimination because people choose their faith.
Oh whatever the hell ever. A religious belief is an arbitrarily picked out bunch of nonsense people adhere to simply because they want to get into their own version of Oz. You can have it. You just don't get to change the rules everyone else has to do abide by because of that belief. Or are we only going to defend religious belief from now on? How about this. I'll start a new religion that discriminates against every other religion. When christians, jews, muslims etc come and apply for a job at my privately run company - I'll turn them down because of MY religious beliefs. How does that sound?
They can't discriminate - but I don't get why it was permissible for her to work there to begin with.
Oh reeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaally.That seems to be the entire argument in favor of discriminating against homosexuals. It's a choice. Right? So if choices CAN be discriminated against - what's so different about discriminating against Christians on the same basis?
religion is not nonsense any more than homosexuality or anything else.
Sure it is. It's a belief magical beings that can't be proven or disproven anymore than leprechauns can. Homosexuality is the adherence to a person's very real biological desires. :shrug: One is tangible. The other isn't.
by that same logic you could say religion is driven by ones very real biological desires as well as their spiritual desires.
Christian Woman Fired from Burger King for Wearing Skirt Instead of Pants | Work + Money - Yahoo! Shine
That the Equal Employment Opportunity is backing her is ridiculous.
I keep noticing that they refered to a "long black skirt", not once did they say "dress". To me that would indicate that it went to just below or just above the knees. Anything longer would be a dress. Now considering this religion it was prolly just below the knees. And that is a health hazard. They don't make people wear black slacks just because it looks good. Its also a slight safety matter as it protects from popping greese. Slacks are loose enough that if hot greese gets on them you can immediately pull the pants away from the skin to protect yourself. Can't exactly pull skin away now can ya?
But in any case I think its idiotic that buisnesses have to accomodate anyones belief. Be it religious or not. If this woman had gone to a farm which required riding a horse through thick brush and as such they required the woman to wear chaps and the woman refused to because its "man clothing" should she get the job? Hellz no! The same should apply to any other job. There is absolutely no reason that any buisness should have to accomodate someone for something like this. Its idiotic and totaltarian imo to force them to.
Its one thing to discriminate against the religion itself...quite another to discriminate against an article of clothing.

By the same logic of what? Are there ANY scientific studies linking DNA to religious belief? If anything it's been connected to parts of the brain - which leave it somewhere between psychosis and stupidity. Depending on how biased ya are. But if you have studies linking religion to DNA, something which is passed down genetically or can be patterned through genetics, show us.

No, it's a skirt, a long skirt that goes to the ankles, if it's just a bottom it's not a dress.
No they are not over reacting. I ya want to work at a burger king this is the uniform you wear, and its pants. There are plenty of things I wish I could say or do that I do not because I work with the developmentally disabled.Yeah, I think they're overreacting and misinterpreting myself... but it's what they believe and it is very important to them.
It would be VERY little, if ANY, skin off BK's nose to just let her wear the skirt.
Skirt/dress or whatever anyone else wants to call it BK has a written dress code and their employees should follow it.
Religious tolerance is very important to me (most people who can have discussed religion with me can attest to that) however this is not a case of religious discrimination. If a person wants to work at a business they need to adapt to that businesses policies, not the other way around. Religion has no place in the workplace. Unless you work at a church. If your religion forbids you from doing something that a company requires then you shouldnt work there.
plenty of studies have been done on religion you can feel free to look them up. there are billions of people in this world who would tell you that their faith is true, that they did not choose their religion, god found them. You can find people who are gay and who dont all share some homosexual dna. homosexuality is not genetic any more than religion. however you want to try to twist it doesnt change anything. you choose to try to discredit religion because you dont want to believe it which is fine. doesnt change anything. homosexuality and religion are not that differnt. it is you who chooses to discriminate and mock.
There was no rational reason for BK to not let her wear the skirt,
and the manager said she could wear it.
BK was in the wrong here, and they are just being dicks, period.

No. You made the claim. Now back it up. Show us studies on DNA and religion being linked.

As for homosexuality and religion not being different: LOL. - What utter nonsense. Homosexuals haven't started wars in the name of homosexuality or banned straights from joining their organizations or led lynching parties on straights. So reality begs to differ.
