1. If you are against meat consumption, don't work at a steakhouse.

If you're against contraceptives, birth control, or transgender hormone replacement therapy, don't become a pharmacist.

If you're against providing every type of medically accepted care (within reason), don't become a doctor.

If you believe that providing the "morning after pill" (like Plan B) is against God's plan, don't put yourself in a situation where you would need to sell it.

If you think unmarried mothers are sinful, don't become an unmarried mother.

Here is a secret in life - you can do all of the above, and not demand that everybody follows your same arbitrary moral code.

Never would an atheist march into a church, push the priest out of the way, and begin berating the parishioners for being "sky-fairy believing idiots!" It's unthinkable that someone would be fired for being a Christian, or for being a straight white cis-man. Not once has a cis, heterosexual man been told to his face to kill himself after being angrily cast out to homelessness by his family. The above simply does not happen.

There is no right to freedom from consequences for being an insufferable asshole. If your concept of "freedom" means "I should be able to bully others until they all follow my arbitrary moral code, just because I said so!" then you might just be an insufferable asshole!

2. Thinking about life as an expat - Oz is off my list

It's off my vacation list, too.

I want nothing to do with a country that would even propose such an awful idea.

3. May I politely suggest

That we would, in return, want nothing to do with you.
