Fox & Friends promotes discrimination against atheists

[TickTockMan]

Folks at Fox News are angry that Madison, Wisconsin now prohibits discrimination against atheists, because “there’s a lot of reasons why Christians or Jews might not want to hire an atheist.”

After Fox & Friends host Tucker Carlson reported that the city of Madison, Wisconsin is now including atheists as a protected class, his co-host Anna Kooiman asked GOP activist and former DOJ attorney J Christian Adams the following rhetorically loaded question:


"Where does this hostility come from?"

It’s special they feel the hostility is directed towards them and not from them.

Poor Christians.

Everyone hates them.

Opposing laws against discrimination is not the same as promoting discrimination. The law should not attempt to control everything. It is not nice to fart on an elevator, but it should not be criminalized. Sigh! Liberals once understood the concept of liberty. No, seriously.

Flatus on an elevator does not deny any human being access to rights.

Refusing service to gays in the name of Christ, however, does deny human beings rights.

It seems to me that it is not liberals who misunderstand liberty. It is you, ben.

No one has a right to a particular job, nor should one. The employee's rights should not be superior to the employer who creates the job and pays the salary and the long list of taxes and benefits.

So if I finally came out as gay to the people that I've worked for going on 18 years, and they fire me because of it( and they will), then you're ok with that?

You have the right to quit tomorrow because you don't like your bosses orientation, race, religion, or no reason. Why should you have more rights than the one who creates the job, pays the salary and benefit? No, it would be wrong for them to fire you, but it should not be illegal. The liberal ideology that every thing should be controlled by the government is very wrong.
The burdens on employers are so great that many jobs have been outsources or mechanized.

It's not about government controlling anything.

Protecting citizens rights and freedoms should be top priority of any government.
Freedom to fire somebody does not compare with freedom to LIVE and earn a wage.

Plus, the burden of proof must come from said "employee" who was fired that it really was because they are gay.

Yes Ben, outsourcing happens because the Fed forces employers to hire gay people.

Nice day up there on Planet Conservabot?

Of course he's O.K. with that haven't you been paying attention? Ask him if he thinks it's OK to fire a Pub freakshow for being a racist wing-nut and you might get the answer you're looking for.

"Employers" don't have "rights" genius, people have rights, and those rights protect everyone.

Dawkins is correct,
atheists please "come out" like the gay community.

The great majority of the "religious" in the U.S. aren't religious at all, they're just superstitions. They don't go to church, they don't read their bibles, they don't consider the life of Christ, they don't know anything at all about their denominations that they didn't get from being forced to go to Sunday School as a child - but they also don't want to go to hell.

They aren't religious in the least little bit until there is a poll, or some bigoted asshat pretending to speak for "god" does some fear-mongering.

Correct, most people are uneducated about religious matters.
No wonder the religious leaders called them "sheep".

My priest at the Altar of Capitalism™ assures me that corporations are people too, and the sanctity of corporate life deserves to be respected and protected by law. I am thankful for the privilege of being able to worship at the Altar for the mere cost of my life savings. Yee-haw!

A particular job is not a right.

ANECDOTE ALERT:

There were two guys standing on a street corner. Guy #1 says, "you look like you might be an atheist." Guy #2 replies, "how do you know I'm not?"

Reading your posts is a privilege.

So, you think the employer's rights trump the employee's human rights.

Do you think it would be okay for employers to rape their employees? If not, why not? Why should the employee's rights be superior to those of the employer?

Do you think it would be okay for employers to murder their employees? If not, why not? Why should the employee's right to life trump the right of a rich person to kill someone he doesn't like?

Ben, you don't seem to understand the concept that human beings have rights, merely by virtue of the fact that they are human. These rights are not dependent upon how much property the human being in question may or may not possess.

I hate to bring this up but...

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.*
