'Freedom of religion' is also 'freedom from religion...'

I love me some righteous indignation mixed with common sense.

And profanity.

The Rude Pundit:

Here's the thing about that Missouri pharmacist at a local Target who refused to fill a woman's prescription for emergency contraception: if you can't do your fuckin' job, then move out of the way and let someone who can do it step behind the counter...

In addition, how about this: if your religion prevents you from doing your job, get another goddamn job. If a Kashrut-abiding Jew is given a job as a McDonald's food taster, McDonald's would fire him the second he said he couldn't put in his face the McBigfuckin' cheeseburger or any meat with 'special sauce' on it. Unless said Jew alerted McDonald's up front. Then McDonald's would be idiotic to hire him. And Mayor McCheese would weep with shame...

See, the Rude Pundit has said before, 'freedom of religion' is also 'freedom from religion.' In other words, on your own fuckin' time, you can worship your Jesuses (whatever flavor of Christ you worship), you can be Allah-rific, you can pretend you understand the Kabbalah, you can get all nekkid and dance around yer goddess fire. There's your freedom. Enjoy. But you start to tell me shit like 'I won’t fill it. It’s my right not to fill it' when it's your fuckin' job to fill my prescription? Then you (and any company that supports you) is engaging in a discriminatory practice as sure as a Denny's refusing to seat black people.

And until they open up 'Scrips Fer Jesus' stores where God's druggists can do his will, just shut the fuck up, suck it up, and gimme my drugs."
