Did I hear cake? I love cake.


How about a cake flavored with an anjeo tequilla vanilla made by moi. An egg white, white chocolate, fluffy frosting kissed with cherry wood smoked salt, and caramel crystals, also made by moi.

It would do The Mouse proud.

I am going to become a Quaker and force Martin Marietta to hire me to work in their weapons plant--where I will refuse to work and demand they continue to pay be for my deeply held religious convictions of being a pacifist..

You can do that, but if you read my posts above, you'll see that I explicitly stated that an employee has no reason to expect their employer accomodate anyone in that way.

Because ultimately beliefs based on what God says is more important than beliefs based on our own personal opinions.
Says who? Um,,,let me guess, he's invisible? Can't speak English? Can be used to get out of work, get time off, shut down businesses, bomb and shoot people, etc, etc,

It's a good card to hold. LMAO!! Maybe I'll buy a small building, put a cross on it and collect my money from the neighbors all while avoiding those nasty taxes.

I remember when that was suggest on the old TV show SOAP...I have thought many times when I win the LOTTERY the first thing I do is create a religion and "donate" my winnings to myself...

Either that or start a professional sport like the NFL and go non-prophet tax-free..

You need clear groups of dedicated people and clear cultural descent through dedicated children and dedicated converts. Federal recognition is probably only about federal tax exemptions that "protect" religion (although in all reality they merely support religion be treating religion as "better" than nonreligious entities).

No. I've routinely said here that my religious beliefs are not a reason to bully my boss into bending the rules for me. Honestly...just read post 53 directly above the one I quoted here from you. I don't get to dictate to my employer what hours I work, my days off, etc. Nor should it be used to shut down a business, or any of the other nonsense you mention.
