I don't believe proponents of Hobby Lobby are honestly interested in religious freedom(as they see it). I believe they're interested in Christian...
The meaning was stated often. Religious beliefs and practices are distinct under legal precedent. Denying birth control is a practice that goes...
The rebuttal was the bit before the links.
Perhaps you've confused me with someone else? I haven't claimed any inconsistency. I've said over and over that beliefs and practices are not held...
First, I didn't insinuate anything. I flat-out stated that they're distinct, and I was not wrong in doing so. Proof:...
This has literally nothing to do with the case. Hobby Lobby is hoping that somehow the RFRA will allow them to circumvent a federal law. I'll let...
The legal precedent is that people have the right to beliefs, not practices. Denying access to birth control is a practice. So, aside from your...
Your wording is problematic. Nobody is forcing the abandonment of religious beliefs by making religious people offer birth control. Indeed, if...
How is religion being punished? Companies are under no obligation to offer goods or services to the public, and if they choose to do so they must...
Bill Maher didn't get fired for the same reason Rush didn't when he called Fluke a slut - they both make their companies a TON of money by being...
I find religion untenable, but blaming religion for stupid people is missing the point. You can take any ethos to extremes and you'll find people...
This won't last long. Homosexuality is a federally protected class, and if you're open to the public the CRA guarantees all people the right to...
I wonder sometimes if it's possible to have actual debates without jumping the shark. This is quite horrific, and I'd be interested in a shall we...
Where on earth do you live that you're fighting off roving bands of heroin addicts? Because, forgive me, but that sounds like the plot to a Steven...
I understand why people want to be staunchly partisan, I'm just completely baffled as to how they can be. Both sides make we want to push the RED...
I find guns abhorrent, they obviously exist only to kill other living things. Having said that, we have 300 million guns and they're not going...
I don't care about gay marriage or polygamy as things. I care that people feel the need to tell other consenting adults who they may or may not...
Yes, singling out a particular group and murdering them has always worked out well for humanity. Perhaps we could take a more nuanced approach by...
When I was younger, more angry, more full of myself this question totally applied; so I'll answer from that perspective. I am obsessed because God...
It saddens me to see so much of the Empty Quarter swallowed up by hard-right politics. Even a decade ago this never would have made it to the floor.
By any objective standard crime is at it's lowest point in U.S history. As for the death penalty, it has not, nor will it ever work as a...
States haven't had rights for 150 years Mr. Jefferson. And honestly, what rights do they need? Are we not one nation, indivisible? And if not,...
Can't strike down the living. As I said earlier, I'm a Hamiltonian all the way. It's a living document, to be amended as we progress and run into...
I totally agree both sides trot out a dog-and-pony show designed almost entirely to viscerally engage us rather than intellectually engage us. The...
I'm certainly no legal expert but as the 14th has broadened to it's tiers it's certainly become inclusive by the legal definition. As for...
Separate names with a comma.
