I'm sorry but when did it become your business to regulate someone else's reproductive choices?


A married couple from Minnesota is calling out Walgreens after a cashier at one of their locations in Wisconsin refused to sell them condoms during their vacation on Fourth of July weekend — telling them it was because of his faith. According to Daily Mail.

Jessica Pentz and her husband, Nate, were shocked and embarrassed when they stopped by the Walgreens in Hayward to pick up groceries and condoms, but the cashier refused to ring them up.

As a spiritual person myself, I definitely respect other people’s beliefs as well as different religions. I will never judge a person for what they believe in.

However, in my opinion, the way that John handled the situation was distasteful and it could have been handled much better than that. If John had such a problem ringing up the condoms, he could have quietly dismissed himself, got the manager, and let them take it from there. However, he had to make a big production out of the situation.

This type of behavior is why many people have no desire to be a part of any religion.
 
I would like to see the scriptures that support his position. Surely he can do this if someone asked but somehow I doubt he will answer such a question because he has none and simply just doesn't want to partake in the selling of said product and just used his faith as an excuse to not do something he simply doesn't like doing.
 
Where is the bible does it say thou shalt not ring up condoms at walgreens? :LOL:

It doesn't matter what it says or doesn't say in this jackass' Bible. This fucker's religion doesn't apply to everyone like he believes it does. It's another case of this bullshit!

People need to learn to leave their religion at home in the closet.

Probably in the same area where, when challenged over it, they'll say "I don't have to tell you because it would violate my religious right to treat you like dirt!"

I guess it doesn't matter what rules a business implements. You'll always have religious idiots forcing their religion crap on to others where ever they go.

Pretty much, plus it makes the rest of us who, - while honest about our religious faith - don't lord it over everyone else, look just as skeezy and slimy as they do.
