    Religious freedom means the freedom to discriminate against people who don't share your faith and cultural beliefs.

    THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION is considering whether to grant a South Carolina request that would effectively allow faith-based foster care agencies in the state the ability to deny Jewish parents from fostering children in its network. The argument, from the state and from the agency, is that the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act should not force a Protestant group to work with Jewish people if it violates a tenet of their faith.


    The case being made by South Carolina is an extension of the debate around RFRA, which is more commonly associated with discrimination against LGBTQ people, but by no means applies exclusively to that group.


    If granted, the exemption would allow Miracle Hill Ministries, a Protestant social service agency working in the state’s northwest region, to continue receiving federal dollars while “recruiting Christian foster families,” which it has been doing since 1988, according to its website. That discrimination would apply not just to Jewish parents, but also to parents who are Muslim, Catholic, Unitarian, atheist, agnostic or other some other non-Protestant Christian denomination.

    Both are accurate, the latter is a take.

    I've got a problem with discrimination against non-Protestants.

    I'm not sure how that equates to hating religion, can you explain how?

    To put a finer point on it, I take a dim view of discrimination against Jews and Catholics.

    Does discrimination against Jews and Catholics fall under closely held religious beliefs that should be protected under federal law, as South Carolina seems to think?

    Do you think that "discrimination" is not a reality when it comes to adoption, regardless of the service?

    Move from the abstract to the concrete: Miracle Hill denies adoption to Jews and Catholics period.

    Are you cool with that?

    If so, why?

    do you think religious freedom means the freedom to discriminate against Jews and Catholics?

    He doesnt know what a sociopath is and doesnt think he's sociopathic despite all his sociopath behaviors and obsessions.

    They select based on what they have deemed the best criteria. Discriminate means someone deserves something. They don't.

    If your religion requires it, why not?
