With five right wing thugs controlling the court it should be 0%.

Unfortunately 30% is about the percentage of the population that are either baggers or bagger sympathizers.

I'm laughing at this a bit. The SCOTUS made absolutely the right decision by requiring that the expansion of government mandates not encroach on religious beliefs. Its a classic decision to maintain the separation of church and state, yet you complain, and to double-down you choose to define the decision as "bigotry".

I'd suggest that this and some of the other viewpoints in this thread could certainly be examples of religious intolerance.

Can Hobby Lobby now say to it's employees "You're fired if you spend your wages on BC?" If not why not?

What they did was to allow the American Taliban to to expand their religious mandates to encroach on individual freedom.

I hope that Hobby Lobby now walks the talk and starts closing it's doors to customers who do not meet their "religious" expectations.

A ten commandments of who may or may not enter so to speak.

Otherwise this is not about beliefs, but penny pinching.

Oh really I think you have it backward Mike. I really don't care if the Hobby Lobby families d not practice BC if that is their belief. Nor do I care if Catholic families play Vatican Roulette. That is their belief and their business so have at it.

How is it religious freedom when someone says "you work for me so I get to dictate your religious practices" Frankly I would suggest that this family is one of the greatest gatherings of pompous asses extant. But then that is just my opinion.

Thee hast a funny definition of 'intolerance.

So will Hobby Lobby now pay it's employees more to cover childcare? That seems like the ""Christian"" thing to do.

This is why you have to separate church and state. State gives church too much power to run your life, and church thinks it has every right to do it.

They want to take us back to the good old days when you worked seven days a week and only got Sunday morning off if you proved you attended church.

Our parents fought to get the 40 hour work week and they are probably spinning in their graves to watch a brain washed bunch of sycophants spouting all this crap against unions and sucking up to big business.
