Fallacies of VIsion is happening more and more
My collection of short stories titled Fallacies of Vision presented scenario's, situations, that would lead to a totalitarian world. Once such story that didn't make it to print was the homosexuals intimidating churches with law suits and disturbances in churches to force churches into acceptance and to omit doctrine that cast the homosexuals in a negative light.
Yesterday I purchased some non-profit software. A new 'condition' was in place that I had to click to accept. The wording of this condition is very concerning.
"I understand that Microsoft will send licensing information to my organization email address registered with TechSoup and I will need access to that email address to obtain this product. I have verified that the address is up to date in the organization details section of my account.
To comply with the Microsoft corporate citizenship nonprofit giving antidiscrimination policy, I certify the following:
My organization does not have a policy or mission of discrimination in hiring, compensation, promotion, termination, retirement, training, programs, or services based on race, color, sex, national origin, religion, age, disability, gender identity or expression, marital status, pregnancy, sexual orientation, political affiliation, union membership, or veteran status.
OR
My organization is a religious organization, and any discriminatory practices of my organization are exempt from laws that otherwise prohibit such discrimination."
Why must anyone need accept the behaviors and conduct or another? What I see the OR is the shot across the bow saying "comply or face exorbitant expenses for products you've come to depend on." No one has the right to force another how or what they should think or what they should believe.
