"Protect freedom of religion, and protect freedom from religion; can't get more American than that."
Couldn't have said it better myself.

Its often hard to hear the voice of reason among those who only want to build controversy are so much louder and more numerous.

I love this guy. I've never heard of him, but I love this.

It is nice to hear someone who is on both sides as it were. As a Christian, I get tired of athiests saying all Christians are crazy, and I get tired of Christians saying all athiests are going to Hell. There can be a middle ground.

I get tired of Christians saying all athiests are going to Hell.
Just curious, do you think atheists or non-Christians will face punishment for their disbelief in the afterlife?
[–]SirAuron 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago
Not at all. Only bad Christians will go to Hell. People can choose to believe what they want, and there is not wrong answer in that regard, unless it involves killing people. People should be aloud to believe what ever they want, as long as they are happy, and make other people happy.

Some Christians read verses like these in the Bible, where Jesus condemns non-believers, and feel that they have to warn non-Christians about their fate.
Most often this is the case in conversations I've had with Christians about this subject. Looking past the details of their belief system, they really seem to be showing genuine concern for me, and where my immortal soul may or may not end up. As the warning passes their lips, though, I can't help but interpret their statements as something akin to "Don't step on that crack! Think of your mother's back!" and I'm beside myself trying to think of a way to quell their emotions without offending them, and say to them, "Well, you really have nothing to worry about, my mother will be fine" and so will my immortal soul, as it were.
Their concern is usually genuine, but unwittingly misplaced, and I don't know how to break it to them lightly.

Atheist here. Sorry about the atheists who are so disrespectful and ignorant. It seems every kind of group gets some crazies given enough time. It's a shame they manage to collect the media's attention.

Indeeed it is.
That 3rd 'e' was an accident, but I quite like it there.

On Constitutional grounds, where does the President get the legal authority to tell insurance companies they must give certain services for free?
This ruling like a king by decree is bull shit. Wait until we get a super religious conservative in office. Then he decrees all insurance companies must require an ultrasound (for free) before an abortion -- or the abortion can't be paid for. How does that sound?
Apparently Obamacare gives the Health & Human Services director this authority without Congressional oversight.
Be careful of what you ask for -- you just might get it.
[–]sesse 2 points3 points4 points 3 months ago
Here is how he gets the legal authority:
Additionally, federal law requires insurance coverage of contraceptives for federal employees and their dependents; it includes a limited but seldom used exception for religious insurers. In December 2000, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission made it clear that an employer’s failure to provide coverage of contraception, when it covers other prescription drugs and preventive care, is a violation of protections against sex discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act; those protections for employees’ benefits include no exemption for religious employers.

I can't reconcile the paragraph you copied to the comments on the second page which I have attached. Clearly, some states do not comply with Federal regulations. So, how are they getting away with it? I am guessing that the EEOC is issuing an opinion on Title VII because Title VII does not "bright line" call it out. Why hasn't the EEOC sued the states in Federal court in the last 12 years if they think their interpretation is correct? I would think there would have been plenty of lawyers willing to take this class action -- with what seems to be the back of the EEOC.
