Hobby Lobby Ruling Bites Us in the Ass Again

In a new article from The Daily Kos, Vergel Steed, a member of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, doesn't have to comply with a federal subpoena because naming church leaders would violate his religious freedom. This is according to a Sept. 11th decision by U.S. District Court Judge David Sam. The FLDS has been under scrutiny because of alleged child labor violations and forced marriages of grown men to underage girls. So once again the Hobby Lobby ruling is biting us in the ass. The FLDS is trying to use the ruling to cover up its less than moral activities. This asinine SCOTUS ruling basically allows anyone with "deeply held" religious beliefs to thumb their nose at the law and get away with it no matter how idiotic those beliefs might be because "It is not for the Court to 'inquir[e] into the theological merit of the belief in question.'" How fucking quaint. It's my "deeply held" belief that the chronically fucking stupid right wing SCOTUS jackwads responsible for this maggot ridden piece of filth be strung up by their genitals while having every nerve excoriated. 

The Hobby Lobby Ruling: The Satanic Response

   Remember when SCOTUS ruled that corporations with "closely held" religious beliefs had the same First Amendment religious protection as human beings? The Christian Right wanted this ruling as yet another way to impose their religion upon everyone else. Other people wondered what would happen if non Christians tried to use this ruling. In an article from the Daily Kos, the Satanic Temple is trying to do just that. Their claim is that this ruling exempts its believers from state-mandated informed consent laws that require women considering abortions to read pro-life material. Information regarding the Temple's efforts can be found here. I love it. I want to see how the right wing religious pricks are going to respond to this. I'm certain they'll be frothing at the mouth at the Temple's temerity. How dare they exploit a ruling that was only supposed to benefit Christians! I want to hear how the propaganda monkeys over at Fox are going to handle it. Those verbal diarrhea spewing, hate mongering jack holes must be going apoplectic over this. Of all the world's religions, Satanism is the only one that makes any sense. They are little different from atheists like me. They don't believe in God anymore than I do.

SCOTUS has fucked it up again

  First, the Supreme Court declared corporations to be people. Then they declared money to be speech. Now they're giving some of these corporations, like Hobby Lobby, the right to ram the owners' religious beliefs down the throats of their employees. The five cocksucking vermin on the Supreme Court that granted this right to the hypocritical, religious zealot, fascist owners of Hobby Lobby are clearly owned by the corporations and gleefully cater to their whims. The owners of Hobby Lobby aren't looking for religious freedom. They want power pure and simple. Check out this article on Daily Kos.

Religious Exemptions

    Hobby Lobby is trying to get a religious exemption in order to avoid providing contraceptives to its employees covered under their insurance plans. They're claiming that just as corporations are considered people when it comes to free speech, they should be considered people when it comes to religious freedom. I disagree. Corporations aren't people. They're collections of people. People with different opinions and religious beliefs. By making them people, they're giving the heads of these corporations the freedom to impose their religious beliefs on their employees. I'm tired of these cocksucking religious zealots ramming their superstitions down everyone's throats. If you're against contraceptives, don't use them. That's your right. But forcing that belief on others is wrong.
