What is the lie, Tenchu?

Ok, back when we had a draft, the only ones who got approved as a conscientious objector were Christians. Prior to 1948, that was even the standard, no other need apply. That is a fact. Want to discriminate against LGBTs? It is ok if you are a Christian. Obama wants to issue an executive order disallowing government contractors from discrimating against LGBTs. Guess what group demand they should be exempt?

How many official religious holidays are not Christian?

Laws take Sundays into account if they involve a day in the week. When I was growing up, Texas had blue laws. Most are gone, but not all.

That is just a few.

I know, I know. Y'all like to style yourselves as a group who is persecuted and demeaned. In reality, what is happening is y'all just don't get your way all the time. That isn't persecution, it is life for everyone else. You have argued that a person's religious beliefs have primacy over the law. But the only beliefs you see are valid are Christian. All others are "silly".

Like I said, a massive sense of entitlement.

I don't mind exemptions in certain cases for things of conscious. But religion shouldn't be a factor. Of course, that would be an assault on Christians, wouldn't it?
