Let's ask this village to circumcise all the men so we can be buds, then ride into town and kill them all when they are in bed crying

My point is that the nature of religious beliefs make it impossible for a non-religious corporate entity to hold them, and the Supreme Court is wrong to think otherwise. Corporations are not people.

You keep saying something that's as unbelievable as the earth being flat, and keep expecting me to prove it's round. You're the one bringing the crazy, you need to provide proof that the things you say that look crazy actually aren't.

The SCOTUS interpretation is by definition true legally, so I don't need to provide shit.

That was hilarious. And maybe genitally mutilating rapists then stabbing them while they writhe around holding their dorks isn't such a bad idea.

Telling people to keep their business open and welcome to all and to leave non-commerce stuff back at home is hardly the government butting in to where it doesn't belong. It is the government taking necessary steps to keep commerce and economic opportunity available to all citizens.

Again, except when it's Curves or a black or women's college. I don't believe that in 2014 there is any danger of any group being excluded from commerce. In fact, any idiot who wouldn't hire people of a certain group is putting himself at a disadvantage.

HBCUs aren't black-only, dude.

This didn't seem to deter exclusionary hiring before.

I agree with your point, but there's plenty of similar stuff in the OT that needs no twisting. Xenophobia is a virtue throughout and it explicitly states some gnarly laws. Every religious text has its outmoded garbage, though.

I agree completely. There is plenty of dumb shit in the Bible. That's why it annoys me when people twist things or remove context in order to make their point. Hell, the four gospels can't even keep their resurrection stories straight.
People want to say the Bible shares the same origin as Scientology (man made), cool, because it does.
But let's keep things in perspective, and call a spade a spade when it actually is a spade.

I'm not sure it was true before, but without a doubt it is now.

HBCUs aren't black-only, dude.

Since there were two other examples, that doesn't really change the point, does it?

I never said it wasn't legal. I said the judgement was wrong. A legal ruling calling cookies vegetables doesn't actually make them grow from the ground and provide any health benefits.
