So you believe you have the right to force people to work for you? Or is that only pharmacists?

And while you claim a Mormon could not force his beliefs on you, you'd be happy to force your beliefs on him? At least if he's a pharmacist?

We're arguing at cross purposes.

My entire point is the Mormon does not have the right to force you to follow his beliefs and you don't have the right to force the pharmacist to follow your beliefs. Or do you believe you have the right to force other people to follow your beliefs?"

Huh?

Going to a window and asking for a prescription isn't forcing the pharmacist to do anything and it certainly isn't forcing a religious belief on them. How you came to that conclusion is as much a mystery as saying it's slavery.

Having someone do their job is not forcing them to do anything. Criminals don't force me to go to work. I choose to go to work and I have to do things based on the law, because it's my JOB.

A cab driver isn't forced to drive anyone anywhere. He chooses to pick up customers and drive them where they want, because that is the service they provide. The cab driver could be Catholic, Muslim, or an atheist. The cab driver doesn't ask the passenger... do you believe in God? Here's what I believe and I'll only give you a ride and take your money if you agree with me.

A pharmacy is a business and provides a service to it's customers. They get paid for that service and when you get paid for a service, it's not being forced to do anything.

How would I be forcing my beliefs if a Mormon or a Protestant or a Muslim came to MY door preaching to me and I say no thanks and shut the door on them? When did I ever say I would force my beliefs on them? I wouldn't because I can't. I have my beliefs and keep them to myself.

Hypothetical situation:

A deeply religious woman doesn't use the pill because it would be against God's will and gets pregnant and has a 10 fingered 10 toed healthy girl. So if God gives cancer to the same woman, is she not allowed to participate in chemotherapy or take radiation pills afterwards? It would be against God's will and the pharmacist surely could not, in good moral conscious, give her the medication.
