So let me get this straight 2: more rhetorical questions, this time about Chik-Fil-A

You mock Christians for trying to boycott movies and companies that they find offensive, but you’re good with trying to boycott companies owned by people you disagree with?

You know that attempts to ban books and movies increases sales, but you are surprised when your call to boycott Chik-Fil-A leads to its biggest sales day ever?

When private individuals call for boycotts of movies, it’s an attack on free speech, but when mayors and city council presidents call for banning and shutting down a business in response to something its president says, that’s OK?

You’re all in favor of choice, except for businesses that offend your sensibilities, which need to be shut down so no one can choose to patronize them? If they’re so offensive, why not let them go out of business due to lack of customers?

So let me get this straight: a series of rhetorical questions

You object to the idea that corporations are people and so have a right to free speech guaranteed by the first amendment, but you are perfectly fine with applying the right to free exercise of religion guaranteed by the first amendment only to corporate entities like churches and not to individuals?

You object to people forcing their beliefs on other people, but you are fine with forcing people who believe that contraception is wrong to pay for contraceptives for those who don’t? They don’t prevent you from using contraceptives, but they do object to paying for them, so how is that forcing their beliefs on you rather than the other way around?

The HHS mandate that goes into effect today has a religious exemption so narrowly defined that Mother Theresa’s Sisters of Charity doesn’t qualify, yet this is supposed to be compatible with the guarantee of free exercise of religion?

Are you kidding me?

The Murfreesboro Mosque

The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty is taking the case of a Islamic Center in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, whose efforts to build a new mosque have been met with opposition, vandalism, and arson. As a Christian who believes in religious liberty, I find this attack on the Islamic Center reprehensible, and so I attached my name to a letter put out by the Becket Fund in support of the Islamic Center's right to build the mosque. Christians are often accused of being for religious liberty for ourselves but no one else. Unfortunately, sometimes the charge is true. I would encourage my fellow Christian believers to take seriously the idea of religious liberty and support the right of other religions to worship in peace without threat of violence or vandalism.
