I don’t yet have any good answers, but I’ll bet that the ACLU, Americans United for Separation of Church and State, and others are considering the same problem.<br /><br />A good place to start might be a campaign to tarnish the reputation of RFRA, which, in fact, most people have never heard of. RFRA essentially privileges freedom of religion over all other considerations, which is dangerously doctrinaire (and, therefore, stupid).Lionel Deimelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08363018512775944659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3320087.post-24532009240130367572014-07-02T09:27:01.218-04:002014-07-02T09:27:01.218-04:00Thank you, Lionel, for this well-thought out respo...Thank you, Lionel, for this well-thought out response. Mine was much more irrational and emotional, LOL. <br /><br />I began thinking immediately though that progressive Christians now need to work with our progressive Muslim, Buddhist, Sikh, and Jewish siblings and bring a case up that objects to lending money at interest and mandates a year of jubilee to forgive all debts. Those are biblical mandates that I support and they are my personal religious beliefs. <br /><br />There are more, such as my corporation's deeply held belief that it is wrong to deny health care, food, shelter, and clothing to the poor or to limit it as do the current "welfare" laws. My corporation's religious beliefs do not accept the death penalty, war mongering, persecution of LGBTIQ people nor the denial of the rights of full citizenship to them, and my corporations does not support inequality of wages between men and women and other misogynistic laws because St. Paul told me that in Christ we are all one and the same. <br /><br />I will be happy to file for status as a corporation to do this. I'm sure many of us could come together and form a cooperation also. The only way to react to these kinds of rulings is to turn it against them; they never consider that those with opposing opinions can use their logic to achieve their own means.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02056559168004517984noreply@blogger.com
