I never realized how Amish I was before... imagine that
I guess everybody could just go claim they object on the basis that it is haram. Make the government prove otherwise.
May even grow a beard...
politics does indeed make strange bedfellows.
That’s always sort of interested me.
Why should religion exempt someone (even the Amish) from our laws?
If my religion says it’s ok to sacrifice virgins, should that be tolerated?
Waht about the Mormons and bigamy?
This would be a great basis for declaring the whole bill unconstitutional!
I want a Catholic exemption because Obamacare covers aborition and euthenasia!!!!
I hadn’t read about the exemption for haraam, but did read that a person who adheres to “faith healing” is exempt.
This was a real hot topic.
In March.
Can we make FReeping a religion?
. . . . guess we’re all gonna have to start sporting beards as our first defence against Bamstercare .
Are followers of the constitution exempt?
The content of Obamacare is irrelevant! Any federal version of health care is unconstitutional on its face since Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution does not specifically list regulating health care as an enumerated power! The people are not bound to comply with an unconstitutional act!
“It cannot be emphasized too clearly and too often that this nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religion, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason, peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here.” [Patrick Henry, May 1765 Speech to the House of Burgesses]
This Republic cannot servive without ONE source of moral standards. Carving out special groups for special laws will certainly doom this nation to failure and will probably result in Sharia law for the entire world. We must return to the foundations this nation was built on.
Can I be Amish and still plug things in?
As to the Muslim part, does this include car insurance? something they must have in most every state to drive. What about state provided health insurance?
If they just run to the ER or DR office when they need something and pay cash, fine. If they run to the ER because they have no money, and no insurance. They are part of the problem.
Hmmmm....wonder if Scientologists will accept this mandate? Or even Christian Scientiests, and some other religions that have very different ideas about hospitals, doctors, medicine and medical insurance. I think there is a Pandora’s box that will soon be opened regarding religious beliefs and mandated health insurance programs and the requirements of this bill. Note: What a conflict there could be between those liberal Hollywoodians who advocate Scientology and have supported Obama, LOL!!!
If we are paying a tax that Muslims don’t have to pay, we basically just became Dhimmis.
I bet they are wishing that this little bit of info did not come out until after the elections.....
That’s it! I’m painting my wrangler black, putting a red triangle reflector on the back and a card board horse cut out on the front.
James 5:14-15: "Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: and the prayer of faith shall save him that is sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, it shall be forgiven him." (ASV) This appears to be a guarantee of recovery for anyone who goes through a specific religious ritual, led by elders from his church. Not only healing would be automatically accomplished, but the formerly ill person would have his sins forgiven.
If Muslims can be exempted on the grounds of religious objection, Catholics and evangelical Protestants should also be exempted.
