What's the Beef?

I was at Walmart last year (and yes, I have repented of this sin) purchasing a pepperoni pizza and some lunch meat, to include ham, among other things.

The woman ringing up my groceries scanned almost all of my goods and then pressed a button which setup the light at her station. I assumed she needed a price check or something? About 30 seconds later another woman showed up (who appeared to be a supervisor) and scanned my pizza and lunch meat and then walked away. I was immediately brought to the realization that the woman ringing up my groceries was a Muslim and was obviously unwilling/unable to touch any of my groceries which contained the contaminated substance called “swine”.

How did I feel at that moment? Umm, well to be honest a bit uneasy. I felt as if somehow I was degenerate simply because I am a connoisseur of pork. But on the other hand, I guess the tolerant-pluralistic-hand (must be my left hand) I thought to myself, if this woman has a moral reason not to touch some of my groceries, then I guess regardless of how it makes me feel, I should honor that. My thought process was that if the roles were reversed, I would want the same courtesy as well. So we both moved on and she remained “clean” and I ate a ham sandwich when I got home.

So then you take what we have in the wonderful state of Iowa. Where recently their rogue-government took it upon themselves to speak for the people of this great state and legalize same-sex marriage. And, as if this wasn’t bad enough, as some of the clerks with consciences are trying to be conscientious objectors to this moral corruption by declining to hand out marriage certificates...[Queue the Outcry] instead of finding a clerk that will grant them their godless marriage license, the offended parties instead cry foul (aka HATE) and we have a full-fledged controversy of discrimination.

The war against Christians wages on….
