Law is weird, a bakery can't use freedom of religion to refuse doing business with an LGBT couple, but a citizen can use religion to refuse to follow a company policy.

Not that I am a fan of Abercombie or their policy just the decision from the court, especially Scalia and Roberts

This sucks big time; i am a huge fan of a private business being able to refuse access to anyone for any reason they like and this should include who they allow to work for them. Don't want me to shop/work at your store because of the color of my skin who i sleep with or who i know to be God, please tell me upfront so i can refuse to shop there.

bad for the country in my opinion....

In both cases they said you cannot discriminate.

In both cases they said you cannot discriminate.

Yes, I know what your pagan, God-hating country said. But what does the Bible say?

You want a list of discrimination in the Bible? That might take awhile...

Equality trumps freedom once again. Sad.

Yes, I know what your pagan, God-hating country said. But what does the Bible say?

Something about loving thy neighbor and not just those who are just like you.

For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47"If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48"Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

This verdict would have far reaching repercussions. This also means if current US President's muslim grandma is otherwise able to work at a US clothing store.. she cannot be stopped because of her garb. Perhaps SCOTUS knows what it is doing.

This may be old issue , there has been some pretty bad precedences setup especially since SWC puppet regime was installed for OIF apology. A CA private hotel owner was fined $3-4 millions for asking non-paying friends of suspected war criminals party to remove their banners/leave hotel swimming pool apparently:

The Shangri-La charade has to stop.
Two years ago, a jury found Tehmina Adaya, the owner of the chic Santa Monica Shangri-La hotel to have discriminated against a group of Jews by shutting down a party at the hotel organized by Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF)..
The jury awarded $3.7 million to the plaintiffs and their lawyers.

Conversely, what's a store to do if they get some nudist who believes some deity doesn't want them to wear clothes applies for a job? With over 300 recognized religions in the US some lawyers may be kept rather busy.

I read the article. Looks like she was not an employee, and she did not get the job. She was suing because she was not hired in the first place. I am sure there are plenty of places who chose not to hire me for some BS reason that makes no sense. I didn't sue them. How can anybody claim this is a win for liberty?
