You need to take vacation for something like that.
Religious stuff generally works, but they can deny it. The stuff about suing is false. If some how you got it to court they will claim you were hired out of false pretences. It asks on an application if you will need any specific accomidations should they hire you. Leaving work for a religious reason does require a special accomidation.
Family problems is more common, but again can be refused.
Vacations can be refused also, but you won't have to explain yourself.

Just make up some family emergency. Will those be days without pay? If it is, you don't even have to go into any details because it's none of their business. On the other hand, if you're still trying to get paid for those few days, then I would make it a good one (like a major crisis). Or you could say you want to visit some college to search for some upgrading courses that you're planning on taking.

Tell your boss that you are really sick. In fact, start "looking" sick.
Start walking around and act like you just ate something sour.
When anyone ask you how you feel, just tell them 'Man, I am starting not to feel too good.' Keep this up. Then, before you go, make sure you go to the bathroom (and make sure some people see you do this) which would give them the illusion that you were going to throw up. pretend you were about to but, 'Maybe I'll be fine by morning.' Then, call as early as you can in the morning and tell them you cannot make it, your sick. Then, that's it. Do what you got to do from there.
Good luck on your interview!

Family emergencies work well. If you can't face the boss, call after hours and tell them you just got the news and are leaving right then, and will call them in a couple of days and let them know how things are going.

Say you're going out of state for an emergency family crisis or something... like your friend is giving birth and you're the godmother, therefore you HAVE to be there... if for some reason he/she asks if you have baby pictures, get them from a relative/friend who has children...
Religious excuses work wonders...

I've never failed to meet a deadline, but if I ever do I always believe that honesty is the best policy.

I have used to old standby someone died in the family. Wife's family. Then cut an obit out of the paper in the town that you are going to and give it if they require a obit. You will be off and will get paid for it

A friend died and have to go out of town for the funeral.
You can get a newspaper in that town and cut up any obituary to make this even more credible.
