[quote=TheManWithAUsername][quote=Anonymous]What if ingesting hallucinogenic drugs was an integral part of your religion?  That was exactly the case the Supreme court considered, and concluded that American society can choose to work around your religious issues (to a degree) but the constitution doesn't guarantee you the ability to ignore laws of general applicability, except where they are interfering in the inner workings of the church (for example, of course they can't force Catholic congregations to hire women to service as priests).

You can't stand up and say "I'm a Quaker and paying $10,000 a year in taxes to support the Defense Department violates my deeply held religious beliefs, so I going to donate that money to a soup kitchen."  Lots of people's moral beliefs get stepped on in lots of ways by the government, but that doesn't mean the constitution guarantees you the ability to opt out of those rules.[/quote]
I raised this days ago in the other thread, and again since. Others have raised similar things. They've never responded; they just keep making the same statements. They* are persecuted, bleeding on the cross - why do we deny their suffering?!.

*"They" being the those on that side in these threads, not all Catholics.[/quote]
