Keep Your Religion Out Of My Bloody Life
byLaFeminista Follow
I just want to make this absolutely clear, I don't care if you worship pie in the sky that forbids tonsillectomies it really has nothing to do with you whatsoever. The fact that you also own a pie in the sky factory does not allow you to decide what anyone's health care should be.
It is between the patient and her/his doctor.
It has absolutely nothing to do with you.
I don't care if you think skin grafts are an abomination unto Nuggan
I don't care if some shriveled old monk thinks contraception makes Catholic Jesus cry.
Fine, if your god forbids any cutting of follicles you can go around looking like a tangled sheep for all I care this does not mean I have to do the same.
Our physical health has nothing to do with you or your god[s]
Quite frankly it is the same if I demand my employees cannot have insurance because they are wearing a cross because religious symbols offend my soul.
This is what freedom from and of religion means.
Keep out of my health care and I will keep out of yours.
Giving power to religion to control others is so against the first amendment as to be absurd. SCOTUS should have kicked this out without even bothering to hear the arguments.
Religion is not a science, religion has nothing to do with medicine.
Why are we even having this bloody stupid argument in the first place?
