Its against my religion for capitalists to have rights, also I have a deeply held religious tradition called eating the rich (I expect this to be accommodated)
Well, I understand what you’re saying but you sound like a Christian, basing your religion on what others cannot have. 🙃
Close, I grew up Jewish :3
Seems to work for the Amish.
Sadly for my new religion, they do actually pay taxes.
Oh! Check that out. It’s just Social Security and Medicare they don’t pay. Which seems fair since they seem to have their own community versions that they contribute to.
In the US, as long as your religion is recognized by the IRS, the Church itself doesn’t pay income/property taxes. Once you get your first church set up, just make all your personal luxury purchases through the Church!
Let me guess, some religious freedom BS?
EDIT: Yep! Forget laws that make things legal. Their fefes are more important.
Imagine having a job that you admit you are unable to do all of, and still keeping that job. And screwing others over just because of beliefs that YOU have. What a world that those believe in a sky daddy live in...
Same things goes for pharmacists that think their beliefs should intrude on being able to just count out pills without butting into others' lives.
If your religion prevents you from doing your job it's your duty to get a new fucking job.
christianity holding all of us back, yet again.
Guessing this will be the basis to challenge Obergfell (sp?).
I think they’re already doing that with the Kim Davis bullshit.
Probably more ammo, with a state Supreme Court comment allowing discrimination under guise of religious liberty. To have that opinion backed by the highest Court of a state somewhat legitimizes their case and may put more pressure on the conservative justices to allow sex-based discrimination again.
My religion explicitly says that fetuses aren't people until their first breath. Does that mean abortions aren't murder as long as the mother is Christian?
Well, after a judge had married the first couple, you’d think it would get a bit awkward.
How many people can a judge legally marry, anyway?
Depends how Mormon he is, I guess 🤷
