Exactly. Religious discrimination all the way.

We hired a physiotherapist who refused to shake women's hands due to his religious beliefs. I didn't attend the interview and was appalled when I'd heard of this.

I immediately considered booking an appointment with him to treat my "pulled gracilis." That's a muscle which starts at the pubic bone.

Spread eagle, "Um.. it really hurts here, especially when I put both feet behind my head... like this."

He was let go not that long afterward. No patients.

If you want to adhere to ancient beliefs, in a modern world, move to Alabama.

Our Vice President!

Training colleagues aside, can he effectively do his job under those constraints?

My opinion has always been regardless of your religion you have a job to do and you should know the ramifications and conflicts between your job and your religion either through your job or suffer the consequences why don't you understand you can always go home pray about it and ask for forgiveness later...

One of my favorite creations.

The insanity just keeps getting deeper. Give the religious nuts an inch and they ask for a mile (and then perhaps the whole world).

Oh the Billy Graham rule. Wait...so he can't pull over drivers if they happen to be women and on the road with them alone? Perfect, let that drunk driver at 3AM go home. Oh no, a woman got attacked and left alone for dead? Sorry can't investigate! Either this guy is trying to helps us by showing how absurd this law is, or he is...nuts. He shouldn't be given any job.

I actually hope he wins. Religious people don't realize they are hurting themselves with this BS. Companies can and will alter their hiring practices to not hire people who are high risk. Suddenly, interviews will become "you won't be hired because 'a better candidate' was found".

I wonder if companies can put in contract clauses like you will 'have to lift 50+ pounds, work with the opposite genders alone, serve people of different beliefs and orientations"? And then ask "are there any reasons you can't perform the duties of this position"?

Nice and easy way to get a valid reason not to hire someone.

Sounds like a bad situation for everyone. Their supervisor should be reprimanded for being an idiot. He just cost the tax payers a lot of money on legal fees for no good reason.

If he has so little control of his "base urges", why is he a cop? Heck, how can he even leave his house?

Soon they won’t police and protect atheists.

This asshole and Pence should be brothers.

His problem if he can't control the "lust in his heart".

One of those bullshit lawsuits, ridiculous!

What a douche bag

How do these people have the chutzpah? How would he save a woman or arrest her? It’s like the pharmacist who won’t dispense morning after pills because of religion. Gtfoh!

It seems like it would interfere with his ability to do his job since they work with the public. Does he need a chaperon when he pulls over a female?

I think they should give him the most boring desk job where he doesn't talk to anyone at all to accommodate and give him all the most mundane paperwork and filing tasks.

Cops have a very high divorce rate. It is even higher than musicians, l believe.
