WRONG IN SO MANY WAYS!

So, the Supreme Court has spoken ...again.....out of the wrong side of its mouth......twice before noon.  Makes me wonder what thinking  evolved into the decision. So now......the owners of Hobby Lobby can force their religious convictions on their   employees and it  is perfectly legal?

    A dear friend of mine pastors a church and has for many, many years. Every Sunday, in their church bulletin there is a list of the members and what  each family put in the collection plate the previous Sunday.  My belief is that what I put in the plate is between me and my God.  Were I to attend his church...the donation would be in CASH or in a sealed envelope and  there would be NO name attached.  I may visit his church but I am not a member of his church or his denomination.  He and I have had that discussion and have agreed to disagree.  An elder down on his luck approached me one day near a fast food restaurant and asked if I could buy him a sandwich. I could, I did  and I would never say what was spent. My children were riding  in the car one day and saw a man standing in the rain with a sign....they rolled down the window and handed their fast food out the window to the homeless man. They saw two men dumpster diving in a major city stopped them and handed out their own fast food meal to the men.  Both incidents are years past and are mentioned  for illustration only.  I raised six children to adulthood....I am not wealthy and I never have been and its not going to happen now.  My church provides the framework for my actions (and those of my offspring) but that's not for public accolade or knowledge....and there is no way I would demand that others (in my employ or in my range of influence.....assuming I have such) should follow my example.

      What  is my point?  My religious convictions govern my behavior...but I have no right to force my beliefs on others and others do not have the right to force their beliefs on me. NO EMPLOYER should have the right to cherry pick the health coverage of his/her employees. Whether a female does or does not use birth control is NOT the employer's business!  Whether the employer does or does not  use birth control is NOT the employee's business. TOO MUCH INFORMATION!

     The only choice left to me is to vote with my feet and me purse. I will NOT set foot in Hobby Lobby ever again.  In my belief...they have gone  TOO FAR. Two of my historical relatives came to this country for FREEDOM of  RELIGION. One set were Quaker....one set were Catholic. One set didn't (supposedly) practice WAR...the other set (supposedly) didn't practice Birth Control.  There were probably lots of differences in beliefs....but the singular agreement  between the two sets was the right to select and practice their chosen religion....without interference.
