“Obviously, no sane person wants to destroy the world they are living in, so therefore she must not believe in the words of Chazal.This is Kefira!”
No, it isn’t kefira. There is no chiyuv to accept any the literality of any particular aggadic statement of Chazal. See Rambam in Guide to the Perplexed, Ramban in the Disputations of Barcelona, and especially Rabbi Avraham ben HaRambam in The Aggadot of the Talmud which is the introduction to the Ein Yaakov. It is bad enough that you wrongly accuse someone of kefira, but you are now distorting the Torah.
P.S. I read the opinion. The Supreme Court ruled in the case against Hardison. A major reason for the majority was that other employees would be required to work on Shabat and to accomodate Hardison would violate their rights. Here is what Justice Marshall wrote in dissent:
“Today’s decision deals a fatal blow to all efforts under Title VII to accommodate work requirements to religious practices. The Court holds, in essence, that although the EEOC regulations and the Act state that an employer must make reasonable adjustments in his work demands to take account of religious observances, the regulation and Act do not [432 U.S. 63, 87] really mean what they say. An employer, the Court concludes, need not grant even the most minor special privilege to religious observers to enable them to follow their faith. As a question of social policy, this result is deeply troubling, for a society that truly values religious pluralism cannot compel adherents of minority religions to make the cruel choice of surrendering their religion or their job. And as a matter of law today’s result is intolerable, for the Court adopts the very position that Congress expressly rejected in 1972, as if we were free to disregard congressional choices that a majority of this Court thinks unwise.”
Justice Marshall was right. And Justice Brennan joined him. The two liberal justices. The right wingers of the time had tried to filibuster Marshall’s appointment in 1967 but failed; it would be 26 years before another Democrat would be appointed to the Supreme Court. Unfortunately today we have a court that consists entirely of right wing radicals (Roberts, Alito, Scalia, Thomas), one erratic conservative (Kennedy) and four timid and outvoted moderates (Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan). Vote Republican and get even less civil rights protection.
