    Catholicism

    He'll answer for himself, but I'm getting the feeling that no solution that we've touched upon will suffice for you. There is something wrong with every church that could be a possible answer, and it appears that the Roman Catholic Church still commands your loyalty on certain doctrines that are...

    Catholicism

    Offhand, I'm hesitant to comment too much at this time, considering how much has already been posted in reply to your initial question, Faith, but I have two "feelings" about the matter-- 1. You could probably solve the problem by staying Lutheran but choosing a congregation of the ELCA, as...

    USA FBI executes search warrant at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago

    They--meaning the political appointees rather than the ordinary agents--can say anything that 'works' to make the public think such an action was justified. Look at the track record of this very same agency in order to make up your mind about it.

    Left the church because they hate Jesus

    It's hard to figure what that person was referring to. I can imagine that, among the people who have left the church in recent years, some of them turned against God because of a tragedy in their personal lives, often occurring despite the prayers of that person. Some churches have a way of...

    Inflation Examples of Groceries

    I find that I tend to stock up for the future, which I never felt any need to do previously. That is to say, if it's something I know I will be using forever and for which there is not a good substitute (my favorite brand of coffee, for instance), I'll buy a number of packs (and for sure if it...

    Refusing to dispense the morning after pill because of his 'beliefs'

    However, the pharmacist did NOT suggest that she "come back in a couple of days." What he said was that his replacement would be there in several hours. And she lives in a very rural area, which is why she had to drive a long way to get to the pharmacy she then chose, meaning that there may...

    Which commercial mascot is your favorite?

    Probably the Gecko.

    Refusing to dispense the morning after pill because of his 'beliefs'

    What I was saying is that any claim about him supposedly being opposed to "filling prescriptions" is unfounded. He declined to fill this one...and that's because doing so would have impacted his oath and commitment as a pastor of a Christian church (whether we happen to agree with its stance on...

    Refusing to dispense the morning after pill because of his 'beliefs'

    not unless you have some specific comparison to pass along to us for our consideration. ;) See my reply to atpollard. No, that wouldn't be "more akin to" the incident we're discussing now.

    Refusing to dispense the morning after pill because of his 'beliefs'

    Offhand, I don't know. I think that you'd have to pose a comparable situation for me to be able to give you an answer. Agreed, but what I was commenting on was bringing a lawsuit or criminal charges, not about going to a professional review board. Yes. No one is saying that this event was...

    Refusing to dispense the morning after pill because of his 'beliefs'

    That occurred to me as well. But the idea that a person who is in a business cannot ever decline to do whatever a customer wants done is silly. It happens every day. This pharmacist told the lady that another pharmacist would be coming on duty in a few hours and he would not likely have the...

    Refusing to dispense the morning after pill because of his 'beliefs'

    On some issues, yes. With this matter, however, it appears to be more evenly divided with hardly anyone being completely disinterested. I saw nothing that would suggest the pharmacist in this case objects to "filling prescriptions."

    The need for Christ's sacrifice

    But you have contended here that God is unable to do something or other--even if he wills it. The idea that God is not omnipotent is one that's indefensible, at least among people who confess the God of the Bible as the true God. And resorting to what are purely word games like this old...

    The need for Christ's sacrifice

    Except that that is what you have been arguing here by insisting that he is not omnipotent. See my prior post for the essential information on which to make your decision.

    Women Voters in Church Council?

    Yes.

    Refusing to dispense the morning after pill because of his 'beliefs'

    I think it's pretty obvious that the public (as well as the members of this forum) includes people who agree with you on that but also that there are plenty who agree with the pharmacist instead.

    Refusing to dispense the morning after pill because of his 'beliefs'

    I guess it depends on who is doing the "seeing." That must have been the only thing her lawyers thought she had a chance of succeeding with.

    Refusing to dispense the morning after pill because of his 'beliefs'

    The pharmacist is also a local pastor of a church that considers the use of such medicines for the purpose of preventing contraception after sex to be immoral. Anyway, the pharmacist--who was charged with violating the state's sex discrimination laws--was acquitted. Incidentally also, the...

    Your religious beliefs

    Yes, it is, and has been so since the American Revolution. Yes. In "The Episcopal Church" there are some conservatives, but the church as a whole is overwhelmingly in the liberal column these days and has been so since about the time you were in college. But that's not the case with the other...

    Refusing to dispense the morning after pill because of his 'beliefs'

    Then would you also say that a physician cannot likewise refuse to disfigure a patient who wants a sex change operation, perhaps because he or she feels unloved or feels like a failure as either a man or woman, as the case may be? This isn't any more hypothetical a situation than the one...
