Tolerance Makes the World Go 'Round

I know that this is a joke and isn’t actually serious, but it is similar and was probably made in response to the lady in Kentucky who refused to give out a marriage license to a gay couple. WIth that said, I will now simply write what came to my head when I saw the meme. Being a member of a religion that has, to nonmembers, seemingly strict guidelines, I can understand that it is honorable to stand up for your beliefs when they are being questioned. However, in this meme, the Catholic and the Muslims practices are not being challenged- the customer is just trying to buy what they want. The employees agreed to work at a store that sold those items, so they need to keep their job and religion separate. The customer isn’t making the women at the register have sex or eat ham, but is simply buying the items for himself. The Muslim and the Catholic, as do all religions, need to be tolerant and understanding of other people’s agency and beliefs.
