    I am fine with businesses being allowed to refuse services to gay people as long as people can also refuse services to them.

    But y’all don’t want that — you want to be able to deny services without having it denied to you.

    Sorry, no.


    Religious people don't have to drape large black clothes ovet their church to protect fragile emotions.

    You don't have a freedom from religion.

    In order to be free from religion, you would have to infringe on the rights of others to freely express their religion... which is defended in the Constitution.

    Your rights end at the tip of somebody else's nose.

    Nobody has to hide their faith from you to protect your fragile emotions.

    Your Atheism is a religion in that it is a belief about God.

    Agnosticism is not a religion, but it is still protected by the first amendment.

    They are a privately held hospital run by the RC Church and the twelfth largest hospital system in the country. If you want to cut the poor off from top notch health care go right ahead.

    Note however HHS in no small amount haste has dropped the whole thing.

    You have a freedom to not engage in religious practices. You do not have the right to compel others not to do so.

    I suspect you didn't read the OP, or otherwise consume the information provided in it... Are you trying to tell us that a Catholic Hospital is a public place? And for the record, payment from medicaid/medicare doesn't constitute "accepting public funds"... Why try so hard to be so wrong?

    False. In point of fact that is exactly what those on the Right want. Freedom of association has always been a right wing mantra. The left? Not so much. Its all about The Group for those on the Left.

    Your hate for the Catholic Religion is noted.

    Can you imagine the outcry from liberals if we finally recognized their religions? Climate Change, Eugenics, imagine if we started using the liberals own demand to not support religions on theirs... Long overdue in my book.

    Ever since 2015 I've come to realize that today's leftists (I won't call them liberal as liberals have real reality based values) will always take the opposite stance of Republicans no matter the subject. Even if in the past (or even right now only keeping it private and away from other leftists prying eyes) they supported the same things...such as a border wall.

    But just so you know, I consider all organized religions to be junk based on nothing more than greed and power. But at least I don't go around bad mouthing any religion every little chance I get.

    Payment from the government doesn’t constitute "accepting public funds"? What lol

    Do tell Dr Luggit — where do you believe these funds come from?

    I really don’t think you even have to try tbh.

    I remember the right wing freaking out when a restaurant refused services to a right wing evangelical group. But sure — whatever you need to tell yourself.

    Not an atheist and atheism is not a religion.

    Really? I can name off several times leftists have tried to shut down conservative speakers on college campus's. Have sued bakeries because they didn't want to make cakes for gay weddings. Have supported Maxine Water's demand of:

    And many other instances that I can name off if you really want to get into a pissing contest of who's more about freedom of association?

    Of course atheism is a religion, it is faith that gods or God do not exist. How is the athiest's faith any different from the theists faith?

    If it's not faith then prove it. You can't. Sure it is a single belief. It is still a matter of faith.

    Government pays bills, do they not? If a bill is presented, is it your assertion that government can choose not to pay it?
