i don’t happen to agree with them either, but our opinions of their beliefs do not matter. what matters, is that the constitution says no law shall interfere with the free exercise of religion.
how is this not an example of liberals attempting to impose their will on others pete? where’s that tolerance that liberals are so quick to demand for themselves, but so hesitant to show others who have different beliefs?
“tolerance” is a two way street, not a one way street.
The obama labor department said very clearly that muslims could not be forced to give up their religious beliefs while at work ( case where muslim truck drivers refused to transport alcohol). why don’t christians have that same right?
have fun answering that…
pete it’s very easy to say you support the constitution when you are supporting the rights of people who agree with you. the real test of your convictions is whether or not you are principled enough to say that those whose opinions you hate, also have those same rights. Liberals struggle mightily with that.

Not sure why Christians and Republicans don’t understand
A Business is not religious unless you’re a televised Christian than it’s big bucks
the constitution says no law shall interfere with the free exercise of religion.
Only in the twisted logic of the religious right is discrimination the free exercise of religion. And God superseded laws .

Republicans voted AGAINST school lunches, Women, voting rights, infrastructure, veterans, Democracy, and insulin being capped at $35.
Because what really matters is tax cuts for the rich, fetuses not children and guns.
Republicans claim to be the law and order party.
Red states have higher crime, lower education, higher child poverty and poorer healthcare, fact.

what is your stance on the Jewish women who are suing Kentucky over the abortion law as they claim it violates their religious freedom?

Same as my stance on laws that prohibit human sacrifice for religious reasons.
A more pertinent example would be Muslim truck drivers who worked for a tr#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g company in Michigan (I think Michigan?). They refused to carry alcohol for religious reasons and were fired. The Obama labor department sued on their behalf and won, saying that you can't ask people to abandon their religious beliefs at work.
