Nope. PA laws explicitly exempt religious corporations. If you're not a religious corporation, you're not exempt.
The question is....why do you keep ignoring this crystal clear distinction? Surely you realize that the law doesn't change just because you ignore it.
Oh, and the Bible says nothing about selling wedding cake.
No one is ignoring anything, but rather just challenging the rational and validity behind the laws at hand. Do you think that man isn't or can't be falable in life? Judges and lawmakers are men and women, and yes they can make huge mistakes when making rulings, interpretations, or laws.
I think that the law should apply the same way to everyone. And that Christians should be treated with the same respect and consideration that everyone else receives under these laws.
If you don't like PA laws, change them.
Once the Christians were free and offended no one, but now their religion and faith is offensive in America ? Now the President is on the bandwagon against the Christians in America as well ? !
Really- cry me a river.
Christians in America have offended plenty. I have nothing against Christianity or Christians- but I do have something against ignorance and revisionist history.
Christians in early America were quite discriminatory- most communities required church attendence, and payment of a church tax of sorts- enforced by secular authorities.
And heaven forbid you were the 'wrong' kind of Christian- look at the history of the early colonies and it was rife with stories of people being driven out of the colonies for not being the right kind of Protestant- let alone be a Catholic.
And if you were Jewish? Christians in early America had quite a few laws against Judaism.
Christianity is still the dominant religion in the United States and is still protected- like all religions- by the Constitution.
And no- President Obama is not against 'Christians' either- why would he be against himself, his wife and his daughter?
Obama a Christian ? LOL... I see you have drank the coolaid also. This tells me that you might believe or go along with just about anything these days.
As is with any thing in this nation over time, it has
progressed from the more crude forms of man's many mistakes being made through out history, to a more peaceful and far more knowledgeable understanding of how things should be, and how they should have been when they were wrong through out history during certain time periods. They (man and woman) should work in life much harder and more better always when applying the teachings or wisdom in which they have learned from their mistakes over time, and also from the word (the Bible), in which told them of their mistakes prior to, but they refused instruction while going about it on their own, therefore their folly was then known of them, and the mistakes were then made. Just like we have had for so long here in America, men and women should keep their faith active no matter what, and they should be truthful always in their faith and about their faith.
Man has got to get over his miss-understandings, and he is to be careful with his worldly knowledge about the things in which he doesn't understand, and in which he has struggled with in his life. Man needs to get his act together in so that he can help others along with himself to reach a far more better understanding of life in general on these things. He should do this all while keeping the faith while in his present world just as it should be.
Many men have hopefully realized that they need spiritual guidance and help in order to see for themselves their folly in life, and this would be in order to help them through to a more enlightened plain, where as they could become the men in which they needed to become finally or in the first place, and it is to help others as they are then charged to do once they are schooled in such things that enlighten them along with many countless others on the
Truth.
It's just like the Old testament in which had led into the New testament (progressed), and how Jesus had come to place man back into favor after he had fallen off the wagon yet again and again and again. See how that works ? However there are individuals and groups who refuse the knowledge of the truth, but they do this as they work for the evil one who has duped them over and over again through out time in their lives.
You would think that people would learn someday finally.
You all keep trying to go back to the past in order to cancel out the future with it (or) you are trying to justify something that is
strange now because of what you can dig up in the past, but people aren't fooled by this game or strategy being used. I mean it is so transparent, and many are finally catching on to the game. Obama is trying to use this same game strategy just as well, and it is really an hilarious yet sad thing to watch because he is so bad at it.
