But if this employer claims that imposing their religious beliefs via employee benefits is their HOBBY, they may have found a loophole.

There might even be a Lobby for this in Washington

Of course, Hobby Lobby invests in the companies that make the same drugs they won't pay for...

But then they hired Lobbyists. Great. As if we don't have enough Lobbies. Now one for religious beliefs.

What happens when religion gets Federal atttention for protecting pedophiles and laundering Mafia funds. First government threatens legal actions. Then the interest group creates a Lobby to buy government.

Now, they call it their Hobby. Just another example of political correctness - a new expression for 'purchasing politicians'. Even AIPAC is a hobby.

Purveryor of Activities with Non-financial Gain. Being a Hobby now derogatory. I must now become a Panger. And tell the IRS it is my Pang.

Because the employer [strike]is[strike] was breaking the law.

If their religious beliefs were so wonderful, they would be able to provide insurance coverage for contraception and all their good little religious employees would religiously choose not to use them.

I can't wait for the uproar from employees who are forced to keep kosher.

If the employee chooses to work in a privately owned kosher business, then it would be reasonable. Remember kosher is a adhering to dietary laws for sanitary reasons. If the employee doesn't like it, he is free to seek employment elsewhere.

Employer has the right to fire any employee caught driving on Saturday. Employer has the right to fire any employee who does not turn to Mecca and pray at sundown. Employer has the right to withhold pay from any employee who takes the name of god in vain. Employer has the right to fire any employee who does not shop in the employer's store Employer has the right to fire any employee who does not shit only kosher foods. Since the employer's religion says what is unsanitary. Courts agree.

Only religious beliefs of the employer are relevant. Screw anyone else who does not conform to those beliefs. Nobody expected a Spanish Inquisition. As Gomer Pyle said, "Surprise, surprise, surprise."
