Anyone still want to pretend this doesn't extend beyond birth control?

    Oh, it extends WAY past birth control.

    It extends all the way to the point where the government doesn't get to make employers the nannies of their employees via unConstitutional benefit mandates.

    Forget the theological angle; why should Hobby Lobby have to provide coverage for ANY birth control, or cancer treatment, or rectal exams or whatever the hell else they don't want to pay for?

    There's not even an option in SlaveryCare to offer employees increased cash wages in lieu of insurance. Because employees and employers are just too incompetent to manage their own lives and businesses.

    Hey, Genius... what kind of theocracy was the Soviet Union, communist Vietnam, Cuba, China, etc? Not exactly noted for being "religionists", these atheocracies still hold the record for perpetrating horror.

    The separation of church and state is to protect the right to exercise one's religion from *state* intrusion, NOT to protect thin-skinned (censored) from being exposed to religious views.

    DailyKos is about as slanted as you can get.

    In other words not a reliable source.

    You dont even need to watch the video.

    The title/file name they assign tells you all you need to know about their position.

    Hobby Lobby isnt in the position now, nor will it ever be in the position to "Mandate" anything.

    Typical BS

    Probably because a theocracy is one of the worst things for society? But no, freedom of religion isn't that important...

    Not a bit surprised. We see this in the Gulch all the time. You say that you have no idea where "everything" came from and the next thing you know someone wants you admit that Christ is King.

    The basic problem is our legal ambivalence with religion because of the horrible wars that religionists perpetrated on each other. We insist that church and state be separate, so churches evade taxation, even though taxes have been collected for churches. You had the right to believe in any Supreme Being of your choice, or else you could not vote or serve on a jury.

    So, someone figured out that they could get past the unconstitutional (anti-constitutional) ACA, and somehow that justifies a religious incursion into the public schools -- which themselves are constitutionally problematic, of course.

    It is a mess because consistent, objective foundations are lacking for making these decisions.

    Not a reliable source in my opinion.

    Your comment under the title applies equally well to the government, only worse since they want to control EVERYTHING

    I will never understand why some people fear religion so much. This story is written like they just solved a crime. Hobby Lobby objected to the birth control mandate on religious grounds. It's perfectly understandable that they would support teaching religion in schools. I doubt that they will be successful.
