    A man was charged with harboring illegal migrants. Part of his defense is on religious liberty grounds — saying his faith compels him to offer assistance to people in dire need.https://n.pr/2yOKfmU

        The man could be the 2nd coming of Jesus if you think about it... spending his time with the poor & disenfranchised while standing up to the govt. The zealots will miss the interrelation in the name of bigotry-because ”their” Jesus only helps white folks believing as they do.

        Which is hilarious because Jesus wasn't even white.

        This will be the defining schism between Christians and Evangelicals.

        Probably because holy books were written before there were immigration laws. But hey, if RFRA can work for Hobby Lobby, why can't it work for this guy?

        Hobby lobby is not breaking laws.

        Literally they went against the ACA. That was the entire point of the case.

        Advocates for killing babies have a limited voice in this matter.

        Literally what does killing babies have to do with the ACA, Hobby Lobby, and birth control? Nothing. No one is advocating for homicide. Having access to birth control is a far cry from homicide.

        I was wondering when someone would use religion as an excuse to be good to others

        So religious liberty is important when it's being used to oppress women, but when it's being used to actually help people it's problematic?

        If only he were an armed militant group taking over a Federal building and threatening harm unless demands were met. He'd walk scot-free.

        This GOP believes religious ground is only a valid excuse to suppress the rights of people you don’t want to have them, not to help anyone.

        Good. If conservatives want to claim "deeply held religious beliefs" to justify discrimination, they better support this.
