ObamaCare is against my religion

As if things couldn’t get any more weird, Federal Judge Gladys Kessler has chucked a lawsuit filed on behalf of people who claimed health reform was against their religion. The Christian plaintiffs argued that requiring all Americans to buy health insurance or pay a penalty violated their religious freedom because they believe God will heal them and they wish to refuse all other medical care, the AP reports. LeSigh.

So is broccoli. Guess no dessert for me.

Yet weren’t Muslims excluded from the mandate because Islam forbids insurance?

[SueRae]

Me too. I’ll change my name to Stoltzfus.

ObamaCare is “dangerous” to your health. If you want to see Big Brother’s future physician army in action, look no further than the liars in Madison. It’s obvious that Obama’s Union-loving physicians will do anything they’re ordered to do by their Liberal Messiah, Union bosses, or the RAT party.

Aren’t the Amish exempted on religious grounds? This case sounds like the Christian Science and Jehovah Witness types who don’t believe medical care is ever warranted.

Guess the Amish have better lobbyists.

They forgot to say they were MOOSE-LIMBS

It’s against my religion because the mandate is idolatry.

No. To date, there are 3,127 churches whose members are exempted and zero of them are Muslim. To date, no muslim church, sect or whatever has requested the religious exemption.

There of course have been a series of emails stating what you have said, but they aren't based in fact. I do this stuff (research for the insurance industry) for a living (exciting, I know).

Almost every single church is anabaptist (Hutterites, Amish, Menonites.)

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The only religion worthy of special treatment is Islam.

All other religions are subject to the mythical doctrine of "separation of church and state."

Thanks for the clarification.
