Faith organizations will now be required to provide contraceptives and abortifacients regardless of convictions

created 1/22/2012 - 8:30 pm by Chris

Hey, at least they've been granted an extra year before being forced to act in opposition to their beliefs, right? How kind. CNS News:

The Obama administration on Friday finalized a regulation that orders all Americans—unless they work directly at a church--to purchase government-approved health insurance plans that cover sterilizations and all FDA-approved contraceptives including those that cause abortions.

The regulation further requires that health-insurance plans must provide sterilizations, contraceptives and abortifacients without any fees or co-pay.

The regulation, issued as part of the initial implementation of Obamacare, requires Catholics to act against their faith--which teaches that sterilization, artificial contraception and abortion violate the natural law and that Catholics cannot be involved in them.

In a statement, the nation's Roman Catholic bishops immediately condemned the administration's decision to move forward with the regulation as "literally unconscionable."

The regulation will go into effect on Aug. 1.

It should be illegal to bring cases like this to court

created 1/21/2012 - 6:28 pm, updated 1/22/2012 - 8:59 am by Chris

I'm not sure it gets much more ludicrous than this. From Moonbattery:

If suing dead teenagers over damage caused by their flying body parts after they are hit by trains isn’t crazy enough to evoke outrage, maybe this will work:

David Belniak had drugs in his system and never braked when he slammed into the back of a family’s car stopped at a red light on Christmas Day 2007. Three people died.

In August, Belniak pleaded guilty to three counts of DUI manslaughter and was sentenced to 12 years in prison. He never said a word in court, not even when the victims’ children begged him for an apology.

But now he has plenty to say — through his lawyer.

Last month, Belniak’s attorney filed a lawsuit against the now-deceased driver of the other car, alleging the crash was the victim’s fault.

Belniak was going between 75 and 85 when he crashed his pickup into his lawsuit’s victims’ SUV, crumpling it up like a beer can. He was on alcohol, Xanax, and cocaine at the time. His previous driving history included two DUIs and killing a pedestrian.

Ron Paul has introduced legislation that would repeal portions of the National Defense Authorization Act. Specifically, the Congressman from Texas is referring to section 1021 of the NDAA, which he says is so vague that it leaves the door open for the detention of American citizens without trial. 

Why I hate religion but love Jesus

created 1/18/2012 - 9:34 pm by Chris

Just saw this for the first time today and thought it was well done and pretty cool. It's all about the relationship.

A poem I wrote to highlight the difference between Jesus and false religion. In the scriptures Jesus received the most opposition from the most religious people of his day. At it's core Jesus' gospel and the good news of the Cross is in pure opposition to self-righteousness/self-justification. Religion is man centered, Jesus is God-centered. This poem highlights my journey to discover this truth. Religion either ends in pride or despair. Pride because you make a list and can do it and act better than everyone, or despair because you can't do your own list of rules and feel "not good enough" for God. With Jesus though you have humble confident joy because He represents you, you don't represent yourself and His sacrifice is perfect putting us in perfect standing with God!
