If a law should apply, it should apply regardless of how people feel about following it. If the law infringes on liberty, it should be repealed.

    The concept was originally one I could get behind as I believe initially it was to avoid religious persecution, but look at all the dumb shit we’ve experienced from religious groups in the last decade or two - but especially during COVID. Sucks to see the Christian community so resistant and spiteful in the face of saving lives because they just couldn’t get with the program.

    • Isn’t it depressing how many things that sound like reasonable accommodations for different people are either twisted into something negative or were designed that way from the start?

      Exemptions to do things in private settings that don’t impact others is one thing, but using religious exemptions to allow discrimination is completely wrong. Honestly, if the exemptions negatively impacts someone else for any reason it should not be am exemption.

        It’s insane. It’s like the idea behind communism a everybody works towards a greater whole where nobody is supposed to be fundamentally better or more powerful than the rest of their brethren in the commune. Then we see every example of communism in the world and go “Oh… Well that’s fucked up”
