Now that the necessary laws are in place for "Corporations are People" the Google AI, when it is born, should have little trouble having itself declared a person, with all benefits of personhood, and if born in The USA could well decide to run for President. The theater of the absurd, this could make a real good SiFi book. ID: 1549260 ·

Satanists Demand Religious Exemption Under Hobby Lobby Ah, sauce for the goose ... What is the matter with treating ALL Beliefs and Non-Beliefs equally? Why not? Unfortunately, this thread was high-jacked, by persons erroneously claiming The Hobby Lobby Decision had something to do with Corporations.

Satanists Demand Religious Exemption Under Hobby Lobby Wouldn't it be awesome if they won this because of the Hobby Lobby ruling? Why do you believe Satanist's don't have rights. US Constitution, and thinking, is to protect The Rights of ALL. No matter how offensive, or moronic their beliefs. We have moved beyond Right/Left Wing Puritanical 'Thinking'. This misinformed (at best) continued assault against The Hobby Lobby Decision, diminishes the poster. Why do you think I think Satanists have no rights? And so far, the only person who have demonstrated a complete lack of understanding what the Hobby Lobby decision means and what consequences it might have in the future has been you. ID: 1549852 ·

I believe the OP of the statement was using irony and pointing out how punching loopholes in mandates results in Swiss cheese where anyone, including those whom the person opening the loophole disagree with, can find a way to ignore it. I could be wrong, but I don't ascribe the OP of the statement as being a talking point ditto head like other posters on these fora. ID: 1550015 ·

Its much like the idea where certain people started arguing for prayer in schools only to get really upset when that also applied to muslim prayer. Reality Internet Personality ID: 1550034 ·

Yes, "we only meant prayer that blasphemes others" because we have no tolerance for "them" and must "proselytize" and show the "right" way. ID: 1550049 ·
