“I find it hard to believe that they’ve invested that kind of money and they’re just going to change the activity,” Goodpasture President Ricky Perry said. “I really hope that it’s true.”

Hey, it’s every bit as credible as the religious mumbo-jumbo you buy into on a daily basis!

" ‘If it is not operating as a church, that’s an enforcement issue,’ he said. ‘We can tell them to cease and desist, and if they refuse we can enforce it through the courts.’ "

Because, of course, religious freedom is subject to the definition of Christo-fascists who permeate government.

Can there be any doubt that preoccupation with sex is the hallmark of the religious zealot?

Opposition to sex is not the most serious problem religulous extremists have. The more serious problems with religulous zealots is their propensity for the axis of Conservativism-Ignorance-Intolerance–Bigotry-Extremism-Authoritarianism.

I would’ve told them we’re keeping the sex - its part of an occult ritual dating back centuries. Its not like they’re doing this outdoors or broadcasting it online. Who are these busybodies to tell them what they can and cannot do in private? I live next to a Catholic private school, and let me tell you, I have sex as often as I possibly can. As far as I know, they’re aware (I have children, after all) and yet nobody kicks me out! What’s the difference save the number of people involved?

A Catholic church by chance?

When you have five roman catholics on the supreme court, the question about whether the state may or may not define what constitutes a religion become rather more problematic. On the other hand, if you follow Hobby Lobby, even the sincerely professed religious beliefs of the owners should be enough to exempt it from particularly burdensome laws…
