if you where on benefits, and they told you you had to take a job, that was against your moral/religous beliefs, would this be acceptable?
would those beliefs, outweigh those of "claiming benefits", some have no moral problem having state handouts, whilst others dont see it as a right and do have.
at what stage do your morals have to take a"back seat", or would they never and irrelevant of the consequence you would always take the moral high ground ?

We do seem to have got lost in the many diverse opinions more of lifestyles than morality and employment.
The simple answer I suppose is that if you feel something is morally wrong and you refuse the job you may have to face further consequences such as having your money stopped for refusing work.
There are many people within engineering that wouldn't for example work in the armaments industry, that is their moral right, I don't know if it is their legal right though.
I have no qualms so far as that is concerned I would build anything from a control panel for a drinks production soft drinks or alcoholic line, to the doomsday machine, so I wouldn't be placed in that dilemma, I wouldn't condemn someone else that took the view that this would be morally wrong for them so long as they didn't try to stop me from working and putting food on the table.
