[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]You are actually proving that I am correct, at least in your case. You are wrong to believe that stoning women for being raped or imprisoning homosexuals are generally accepted aspects of Sharia. That is simply not the case and only the completely misinformed would believe otherwise. You are completely ignorant of US law when you say that it is not guided by any religion. The Hobby Lobby ruling explicitly allows religious exceptions to US laws and that is only a single example. All sort of US laws are guided by religion.

What nonsense!   The Hobby Lobby ruling has nothing to do with any particular religion.     It allows exemptions for people if following certain laws would violate their sincerely held religious belief, whether that religion is Islam, Buddhism  or Christianity.      It is similar to laws that allow pacifists to avoid conscription during a war, if fighting would violate their sincerely held religious belief. [/quote]

Okay, it has now been determined that exceptions to laws based on religious belief have nothing to do with religion. Believing otherwise is nonsense. Also, up is down.

Are you really that dense?    The Hobby Lobby law has nothing to do with any  *particular* religion.     When possible, US laws are designed to avoid forcing people from violating their religious beliefs - whether it is forcing a Muslim woman to remove a hijab for her job, or a forcing a Quaker to  participate in the military.     One can believe in law that respects all sincerely held religious beliefs,  and also believe that US law is not guided by any (particular) religion.

And why would you say that up is down?   Words have meanings and if you are going to give them random meanings then there is no point having a conversation.[/quote]

You are the only one discussing a "particular religion". I'm discussing religion. How can you argue that the Hobby Lobby decision has nothing to do with religion? Here is what provoked this discussion:

"We have the rule of law in the US, and it's not guided by religion...any religion."

Do you really agree with that? Can you honestly say that laws in the US are not guided by any religion? Do you think the Hobby Lobby decision was not guided by religion?
