Not apples to apples. Religious beliefs and employer required safety measures

No, it doesn't 'stop' the spread

Can you site me some medical journals where it shows it slows the transfer?

Vaccines worked well against spread of original Covid. New studies=not so much

If the vaccinated coaches are wearing masks and testing daily then of course

The proper analogy is would you give up a $2mil job by not drinking a Coke. The Catholic position is

Interesting. I thought his point was that it is similar to Coke AND THEREFORE,

Lot easier to repent than to come up with a 3.3M job.

This was my thought as well

I want a 3.3M job. Let's do that and I'll let you know the rest.

Yeah, I’d probably fail that test also.

No. But only because I generally dislike my job already.

One drink? Probably. I don't think that 1 drink is really even a sin. I detest

Religious exemptions allow for personal interpretation of your religion.

Religious exceptions allow for disagreements in doctrine

It doesn't have to be signed by one
