It's a fiction, not a moral treatise.

I'm a 27 year-old Instructor of Argument. It is my job to teach incoming college students that talking smack professionally is about having an opinion and backing it up. I teach young adults not only to have opinions, but to have a VOICE in their community and in the world at large. I inspire, I discourse, and I geek out.

I know I have a few people that follow me because of my political discussions, but you should know I also blog and reblog things for fun. I'm into fandom; it's part of my life. Don't be surprised if you see stuff about Disney, or kittens, or even my own artwork. Sometimes, I need to not be so serious.

“You’ve confused a ‘war on religion’ with not always getting what you want.” — Jon Stewart

Oh, HELL NO, Jon Stewart.

This is not about “not always getting what you want.” We are not two years old. We are, in fact, 2000 years old! We’ve got quite a bit of wisdom and experience under our…

If it’s a private religious institution that doesn’t pay taxes and doesn’t receive any form of government aid, then I would think it is exempt. If it does, then employers under this law can’t impose their religious beliefs on their employees. That’s violating THEIR first amendment and civil rights. If you believe otherwise, then you are expecting to get special treatment, and you are fussing about not getting what you want.

Furthermore, an Institution does not have first amendment rights — because it’s an institution. It’s not a person.
