I have a 10,000 square foot church on my former, religiously stained desk. Can I legally refuse to give the client an estimate on irreligious grounds? It’s not like he’s asking me to bake a cake or anything.
The irony of me building a church is pretty funny though.
What did I just read?😂

Maybe. Or maybe you could hide some speakers in the wall remotely connected to a microphone to have “God” speak to the congregation from time to time. That’d probably scare just about everyone in there. “Holy crap! He’s real?”

Haha wow that’s interesting. Can you refuse? I suppose you can, but that would mean you don’t get paid. When providing services for people, I suppose it’s the norm that you will encounter people with beliefs you disagree with from time to time. I wouldn’t be against it if I was being paid 🙂

True. I was more wondering if I could openly refuse on irreligious grounds. Like refusing a gay couples wedding cake or refusing to issue a marriage license because of beliefs. I suppose in this highly Christian area that would be pretty bad for business if word got out.

You probably could. You could argue that it caused significant distress and/or flashbacks lol.

$200 per square foot seems reasonable, but it’s a lot of shekels to devote to the study of nothing.

…and that can be done with stunning effect. This past summer I was on a renovation run to a Howe Sound island (Keats Island) that was partly (mostly!) owned by an evangelical group. My employer, an evangelical Mennonite, invited me (forced a better word here) to accompany him to visit the HQ’s of this Christian venture. They were (are) building a multi-million dollar structure, part hall, church, luxury guest accommodation and etc. The tour over, the promoter turned to me and asked what I thought, as a sort of expert… and I couldn’t help replying, “I’m just as impressed with this as your Jesus of the gospels would be.” That was the “correct” answer – the silence was deafening. Later I explained to my Christian boss that it was mainly because of ostentatious futile display of conned wealth by Christian leadership that I was no longer of Christian or any religious persuasion and I considered religions to be total corruption of any original intent by such as the Jesus portrayed in the gospels, whether the character in question ever existed or not.
