I'd like to know why the belief of when a pregnancy occurs rather than the medical defination of what constitutes a pregnancy was a valid argument for injury.... But in the news today.... Hobby Lobby Allegedly Fired Employee Due to Pregnancy Just in case you thought they were actually Christian. Or believed in anything other than profits.

I'm pretty sure that we all knew this was happening and going to continue to happen. Because "Christian business" is a crock of ***phrase. It offends me and I don't even *** believe in divinity. Siren.Mosin said: » maybe you are just offended too easily. Maybe businesses who want to be considered Christian should partake in Christian acts of charity, not secular acts of greed. Oh wait. Christianity in the American context was never about Christ's teachings, was it? Siren.Mosin said: » what did jesus ever do to you, man? My problem isn't with Jesus. I simply don't believe in his divine nature. As I've said numerous times, I believe in the teachings attributed to him. I believe in them deeply, in fact, because I view them not as a religious thing, but as a fundamentally appropriate way for humans to treat each other in order to attain a peaceful society in which people can live without fear of being harmed or ostracized. And we have concrete evidence that these supposed "Christian" business do not behave in a fashion commensurate to what Jesus expected of people. For ***'s sake. Most churches that claim to be Christian don't believe -- or, at least, don't practice the beliefs -- of Jesus. You see that every time some evangelical minister opens his fat white mouth to denounce gays or other groups that "aren't living by god's will". In the meantime, that *** has been divorced twice and he's cheating on his third wife.

It wasn't all that serious of a question on my end, sorry, a bit bored over here. you just make me laugh sometimes with how venomous you feel towards organized religion. I'm slightly jealous I guess, I don't get worked up about anything.

I'm slightly jealous I guess, I don't get worked up about anything. In moments of levity I'm myself amused with how angry they make me. Or, rather, I'm amused at how exactly un-Christian these religious organizations and establishments behave. I'll never say that religion hasn't brought the world many beautiful things, because it has. And there are lessons of value to be learned from all of the holy teachings in the world, not just Christianity. Because many of them started with good intentions at heart. But cultures rarely use religions as a means of peace or cohesion. They use them as divisive wedges to seperate people into "us and them". They use them to excuse things like slavery, bigotry, theft, rape, and murder. They use them as an excuse to send children off to war to kill other children. And, oh. Yeah. They use it as a method to make money. Religion has never been anything more than a business and a tool for the obtainment and maintenance of power, even when there are valuable lessons within. I just feel it's time -- as a human race -- we seperate the valuable parables of religion from the useless dogma and separatist claptrap.
