I would suggest that the story is more about the woman involved than a story about religion..

Yes and no.

Yes most people don't do everyithing their religions say they should or shouldn't, like most people I know are catholics and contraception is against the religion but most of them use it anyway.

But No because as It is against some religions beliefs, in her mind she is breaking her religions rules by handing over contraceptives.

So, you are therefore saying that people should just pick and chose which religious rules they should or should not follow?

I would say If it's against your religion then don't be a pharmacist

I was refused by the Catholic church to be my girl's sister's son's godparent. Her sister wanted us but I'm an aethiest - at the christening I just stood at the back of the church while my girl became godmum.

Religion suks - as if I'd not help the kid if anything untoward happened to his parents.

well, I am refering to this particular case, I know it is against Catholics rules to use contraception, I think Muslim also. Though it doesn't say what religion this lady was. Every topic involving religion doesn't have to be about christianity LT!

I know, I just thought it may be easier to state. I am however not sure what rules Christians have to adhere to apart from the the commandments.

I cant recall any regarding serving someone with contraceptives for pain relief?

No but nobody is even talking about Christians, whatever religion she was, it was obviously against that religions rules and as I said I can't name the religion because I don't know it!

I am not sure you are right. I think the lady perhaps has got her own religion wrong. What religion do you know that is as up to date as to "ban" adherents from serving contraception for pain relief?

does not make sense and sounds like all the facts were not at the disposal of the DM journo - shock horror.
