I'd like to hear what your argument is. You don't want to follow the law because it conflicts with your religion? What if it's against my religion to pay taxes, am I exempt? Where does it end? You yourself said that that if it was illegal, religion wouldn't get you out of it. Now that you understand that it is a law, you are changing your tune again. It's pretty confusing.

I don't want to follow the law because it's a clear violation of my 1st amendment rights. Don't take my word for it, just listen to what the Supreme Court says later this year.It ends when a law doesn't violate the constitution.

I don't believe you.

OK. I have no idea what there is to believe or not believe, but whatever. Please explain how this has anything to do with me being a Christian.

That's.... pretty much what happened my friend. Our representatives passed the law. But again, this has nothing to do with free anything, I don't know why you reverted to that.

Our representatives passed laws saying slavery was cool also, but those weren't constitutional and got overturned. Just like this law will in a few months.

But do we not all agree that society is better off when people who seek birth control have access to it? I mean this both socially and economically.

I think it depends who provides it. I think if they get it themselves or friends and family provide it, it's a big benefit. If the city has a program, it's still probably beneficial. At the federal level I think there is too much waste, pork, and general disincentives to responsible behavior that it is very likely it is a net negative.I could be easily convinced on this the other way, though, by solid data.

You still haven't explained why you think the law violates the 1st amendment. Is it because it requires someone to do something that is against their religion?

I said "leave it to the Christian guy to be the selfish one". I don't think that joke requires explanation.

The argument that government is forcing beliefs on religon is erroneous as well. People have the freedom of choice to take birth control or not. The Church is trying to limit those freedoms.

The government is compelling the Church's behavior. The church isn't compelling their employees' behavior.

And I might add that 98% of all Catholic women who were eligible to take birth control DO. None of their own followers agree with their dogma to begin with, it is only a fringe element trying to dictate to others. Would you be okay if a school didn't offer blood transfusions because Jehovah's witnesses are against it?

Yes. For the same reason it's OK for a Jehovah's Witness plumber not to offer blood transfusions.

I think being ok with a school not providing medical treatment to someone with massive blood loss is ridiculous.

How about a hospital not providing education? Don't they care? Think of the children!

"There was no significant change over time in the percentage of males or females who had ever had vaginal intercourse or who had had vaginal intercourse during the year prior to the survey. The percentage of males who reported using condoms every time they engaged in vaginal intercourse during the past year increased significantly, from 37% to 50%, and the percentage of males who reported condom use at recently initiated first vaginal intercourse increased from 65% to 80%. On the other hand, female respondents showed no significant change in their condom use."

Anal skyrocketed.

PHOENIX — The birth certificate which Barack Obama says proves he is a U.S. citizen is a fraud, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio charged Thursday.The sheriff said a forensic examination of the electronic document posted last year by the White House proves that it was not simply scanned into a file but actually put together in several pieces. And Mike Zullo, head of the sheriff’s Cold Case Posse who headed the investigation, said the inconsistencies in the document cannot be explained away by claims that it was optimized or had been scanned with optical character recognition software.

So, with nearly half the country against the President and billions of dollars at their disposal, the Republican party can only find one sheriff in Arizona who claims to have evidence that it's false. Don't you think that if there were compelling evidence for it being false, they would have more than, "Hey, this guy things it's false!"No, you don't think that? Oh, I guess that's because the shriveled shell of your online persona has become completely destructive to any actual political discussion that could take place here. I think that's why.

I don't want to add salt to the wound, but having your idol outed for lying about his birthplace can't be good then?But it looks like President Obama has completely sold his soul.After all the lies, all the willingness to sign anything that removes our rights, after allowing Gitmo to remain open...if he is just removed in disgrace, it will make things go away quickly. Kind of like ripping off a bandage.
