(3,539 posts)fair, just and honorable god they believe in actually does exist.
I am most sure that this loving, benevolent, fair, just and honorable deity would more than approve of their smart ass bragging.
Ok Hobby Lobby in according to your faith you have a few more bucks in your pocket at the expense of others.
Now stop gloating.
You aren't going to convince me about god either way.
But don't try to tell me these people aren't evil!

The Mustang, Okla., school board voted Monday (April 14) to adopt a Bible course developed by Steve Green, clearing the way for the Hobby Lobby president, whose suit against the Affordable Care Act is currently before the U.S. Supreme Court, to enter another charged arena at the borderline of church and state.
The board, whose district is practically in Hobby Lobbys Oklahoma City backyard, agreed to beta-test the first year of the Museum of the Bible Curriculum, an ambitious four-year public school elective on the narrative, history and impact of the Good Book.
For at least the first semester of the 2014-15 year, Mustang alone will employ the program, said Jerry Pattengale, head of the Green Scholars Initiative, which is overseeing its development. In September 2016, he hopes to place it in at least 100 high schools; by the following year, thousands.

(1,621 posts)I'm leery about letting them get the final say on anything, even with the occasional 5-4 vote I agree with. Obama has only held serve, replacing two left leaning justices. If the remaining 4 retire under a gop administration, corporations will be voting in 2020.

(12,977 posts)That "Jefferson" quote is actually from James Madison -- and it's from something he wrote in opposition to a "Bill establishing a provision for Teachers of the Christian Religion" that's all about how everybody has an inalienable right not to have anybody else's religious views imposed on them.
There's got to be some way to make use of that ...

(11,833 posts)Let's not let yesterday's opinion stand. I just do not believe it will stand if we are sincere about not treating anyone as second class citizens. For all the grandstanding from Hobby Lobby and bs from the Court's majority, I do not believe the decision has anything to do with religious freedom. It has everything to do with equal protection under the law.

Fortunately, Michaels and Jo-Ann Fabrics have the things you'll need to complete a Hobby Lobby-designed project.

Now they can ring it more loudly.
I'm pretty sure Thomas Jefferson's turning in his grave. He realized how important a distinctive roll each of the three branches of government were supposed to have had.
Well, the SCOTUS sure fucked us on that now, didn't they?

(12,977 posts)And even funnier, it's from a document titled "Memorial and Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments" written in opposition to a "Bill establishing a provision for Teachers of the Christian Religion." Maybe somebody ought to point that out to Green's son, who wants to put Bible courses in public schools.
Here's the context in which it appears:
http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/James_Madison
We hold it for a fundamental and undeniable truth, that Religion or the duty which we owe to our Creator and the Manner of discharging it, can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force or violence. The Religion then of every man must be left to the conviction and conscience of every man; and it is the right of every man to exercise it as these may dictate. This right is in its nature an unalienable right. It is unalienable; because the opinions of men, depending only on the evidence contemplated by their own minds, cannot follow the dictates of other men.
