[QUOTE="Lurker66, post: 2476167, member: 24459"] Sorry for being late to condo again. Had to catch some fish. I wasn't back peddling on my argument that rights don't exist. I used the Obamacare as an example and called it a right. It isn't a Right, but we call it a Right because it has the force of law behind it. My actual argument, is Rights don't exist until they are realized, theyre existence depends entirely on free will or force, therefore we create them. It's a similar argument for the existence of a God. With regards to Hobby Lobby, and the question of "Can a company be Christian?" I draw from Rene DesCartes famous saying, "I think, therfore, I am". Is a Company aware of its own existence? Kinda seems a little silly but , no, Companies are not people, thus can not realize they're own awareness. Therefore they have no expectations of being anything. Can a gun think? Nope just an object. It's a joke that we are even considering the question of a Companies right to be considered a Christian. Would we consider a gun to be Christian? If rights existed, they must be realized. If a Company has a right to be Christian, it would be because it came from free will or force. In this case the People of HL are using force of law to get a ruling that makes no sense. To me, Religion, God, Rights, Freedom, these are serious things to have a serious discussion about. A Company cannot be Christian. It can't worship or get to Heaven. Seriously, Does any Christian expect to see Hobby Lobby in Heaven? [/QUOTE]
