[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingAtheist][quote=Anonymous]This arguement has nothing to do with contraception.. Its a religious rights issue. If you want free BC dont work for a catholic organization. Done[/quote]

If you're a black man married to  a white woman, don't check into a racist hotel. Religious rights, people.[/quote]

My religion believes children should go to work in factories when they are 8 years old.   If you don't like it, don't send YOUR 8 year old children to work in a factory.   Religious rights, folks.[/quote]

This is just dumb, and it just makes you look like a douchebag.[/quote]

But... but... it is our deeply held religious belief, that children should work alongside their parents in the factories.   We're not asking YOU to put YOUR kids in factories, just saying that the government needs to respect OUR right to live by our beliefs.

See how it works?  Religious freedom trumps everything else the country may think is important.[/quote]

There is a difference between using religious beliefs to exempt yourself from the laws (e.g., we should be allowed to smoke peyote b/c of our religion; we should be able to have our kids work because of our religion) and the govt FORCING you to do something that is against your religious beliefs (e.g., distribute/pay for birth contol).  In your analogy the govt is NOT ALLOWING  individuals to do something, while with respect to the HHS mandate the govt is FORCING individuals to do something.  So your analogy breaks down, at least under current first amendment jurisprudence.[/quote]
