What shes saying is that the First Amendment means that you can believe in your heart and mind what you want, but you cant act on it without federal permission, as far as religion goes. As to her point about a religious objection to providing medical care, Christianity doesnt allow for letting gays die by refusing them medical care, so thats a red herring. Big difference between refusing to participate in a wedding and depraved heart manslaughter by refusing to save a life.
Certainly the first amendment says that in institutions of faith that there is absolute power to, you know, to observe deeply held religious beliefs. I dont think it extends far beyond that. Weve seen the set of arguments play out in issues such as access to contraception. Should it be the individual pharmacist whose religious beliefs guides whether a prescription is filled, or in this context, theyre talking about expanding this far beyond our churches and synagogues to businesses and individuals across this country. I think there are clear limits that have been set in other contexts and we ought to abide by those in this new context across America. Sen. Baldwin

“Nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof” she didn’t read that part, did she?

So I should deny Christ?
I can't and I won't.

This is going to be pushed more and more, and eventually it will win fools in courts, if miracle does not intervene
(and prayers to the Lord of miracles would be quite fitting).

Kind of like the Jews who were forced to perform for visiting nazi VIP camp visitors.

Guess I missed the “Christians MUST participate in gay weddings whether they want to or not” part of #1. Guess I need the new updated version of the constitution/BOR.

Genesis 19:9 And they said , Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn , and he will needs be a judge : now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door. 10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door. 11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.

By this logic, the First Amendment means all Americans must buckle under Sharia Law.

tyranny by the minority.
Divide and conquer is working for Obama - how relentless and effective the lest has been.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
She should show us where in there it mentions forcing people to go against religious precepts.
