Paying for discrimination

Well, I was hoping to report that federal funding would no longer be used for discriminatory purposes when it come to the President's faith based initiative plan, but it looks like the Scott amendment (no relation) will fail. Worse still, 14 Democrats at this time have voted to allow this to continue.

Does that mean that other businesses can currently discriminate due to religious beliefs? If not, how do you allow one group to choose their employees based on religious belief but not another group?

What if all the high paying jobs were run by Christian faith based organizations? Wouldn't that make it impossible for those non Christians to get ahead in the country? But, after the failure of the amendment, that would be allowed to happen in America.

There are numerous other hypotheticals that could be used to argue against this idea. But the basic premise is we should all be against discrimination on any grounds, especially when we are called upon to fund it.
