Seems to me like the def of “marriage” could easily be challenged, and the women would win? Even the state recognizes “common law” marriage eh

Aaaahhh No he does NOT have that "right" but I would sue him not for my job back but lost wages instead.... Let the POS pay two people for that job and my heath care as well as other expenses as well....
Churches and religious organizations can get away with it but a publicly run business doesn't have religious immunity...

The only time you should be fired for having sex is if you're on the clock and your job description doesn't include having sex.

Notice they said how many women they fired for this offense, but no mention of men? One man did go out on his own after a firing. I won't support Ramseys Youtube channel, I will support the one he fired, he has his own channel now.

I do not agree with this BUT, if you work for a religious institution they have the right to say go away if you break their religious rules. She should have said I went to confession and the priest told me to pray daily, then you lie, and say that's what I have done. Then if the church wanted to still fire her she could still sue and make them look malicious. BECAUSE THEY ARE!

I had a few friends who stole the guts of a Hammond B-1 organ out of our local RC Church. (I saw it with my own eyes. When it became apparent that they would indeed be caught, they went to confession, and pennance was return it and say 3 hail mary's. No charges were filed. That was maybe 1972.

For a while Catholics did not believe in various forms of conception outside of "straight sex". That is, man on top girl on bottom, get it over with quick. The concept of sealed confessions was strict. so confessing to the priest was shear genius, but an old ploy.

There is nothing so christian as to fire an unwed mother so that she won't be able to take care of her unborn child.

You would think this would be a moment of compassion and caring and tell the mom It's okay if you made a mistake we will show you love and your unborn baby love anyway.

The reasoning behind some of these corporate policies is simply fear and greed. The Old Testament is full of stories of God punishing those who disbelieve by causing them some kind of catastrophe (never mind Job). The Jews begin worshipping some other Gods so the Jewish God punishes them by allowing one of their neighboring kingdoms to conquor them until they learn their lesson. Without specifically knowing whether it was true, I would say that Chick-Fil-A attributes its success as a company in part to being closed on Sundays. Obviously, other religious practices would also come into play as well, this one is just more obvious to everyone. Along the same line, Dave Ramsey also likely believes his success is due in part to his adherence to this strict moral code imposed on all his staff. On a wider scale, it is also the reason evangelicals fear for our nation. They would believe that as Americans lose faith in Christianity, our nation loses God's protection (never mind that 9/11 occurred while believing George W Bush was president). It's also the reason that Ted Cruz ( who has been described as a Christian dominionist) believes he would solve America's problems, and likely the lip service trump paid to some Christian belief is why evangelicals were fooled into supporting trump.

I often look at what happens across the pond and shake my head in disbelief but this is almost unbelievable.

Sad.

The US is now a nanny state. What’s next? Men getting fired for committing some “impure act” such as masturbation? Would not surprise me.

More importantly, Do you need to be fired up to have sex?

If the case gets to SCOTUS, it will let the Court reverse and throw away their poorly-reasoned ‘“sincerely-held religious belief” precedent.

First question: How many men have they fired for having sex out of wedlock?
Second question: How many of the people they have fired have not been pregnant or had a pregnant partner?
I am guessing 0 and 0 sooo yep its sexist.
Third question: How long until we hear about Mr. Ramsey's torrid affair? Any bets in the preferred partner?
