Do pitchforks need to come out every time a Christian or Christian topic is mentioned on HN? Everyone knows there are people who exercise their religious freedoms, do we need to keep trying to burn them in effigy here?
- mhurron 10y agoIf people think strongly enough about a topic, it will happen.
- kmonsen 10y agoI agree with your general sentiment, but disagree with your wording. From what I understand HL, and many others, are not exercising their religious freedom but rather imposing their religion on others. For example, if you are against an action like prevention on religious reasons you should of course be free to not use them yourself. Enforcing those standard on others, including your employees, is not exercising your own religious freedom.
- Dagwoodie 10y agoHe's not imposing any behavior on his employees or taking their freedoms way, he's just choosing not to pay for it himself on religious grounds. I suspect the real issue is that he's going agains the grain by not celebrating that form of birth control and that's enough to feel like oppression to some.
