February 21, 201610 yr Georgia Senate passes religious freedom bill - CNNPolitics.com Senate has passed it 38-14. Senate 161-0. Being debated now. What say ye?
February 21, 201610 yr I just don't get it. First, I thought our country was founded on religious freedom, so the naming of this bill is conspicuous at best. Also, I know several pastors/ministers who have refused to marry folks, for various reasons. And lastly, if you're employed by our government and perform the ritual or administer the licenses and you have an issue with it religiously, get a different job. It's not that friggin hard. If you own a bar, and are religiously opposed to alcohol consumption, sell the bar.
February 21, 201610 yr And one other thing. If you have to pass legislation that ensures businesses are "allowed" to remain closed on Saturdays or Sundays if it conflicts with their religious beliefs, maybe Georgia is more screwed up than I imagined.
