Americans are starting to tire of people claiming a religious exemption for not complying with a law or regulation they don’t like. Too often these people have no connection to any organized religion.

            Some companies want to save money by reducing the coverage of insurance for their employees. They claim the separation of church and state to get an exemption and then to try to make the state do what they want. By demanding the state comply they are forcing others to believe as they do which, of course, violates the very idea they use to get their way.

            Today we have stupid people who don’t want the Covid vaccine so they suddenly decide it is against their religion. Some ministers have even written letters supporting the views of people they don’t know. One minister told his flock not to get the shots and then changed his view when several of his flock died. The people died because he said God would protect the righteous.

            All of these exemptions avoid the free will pillar of the Christian religion. These people miss the point that scientists invented these wondrous vaccines to save us just as they invented so many of the things we all feel we couldn’t live without.

            In reality most of the exemptions people feel they are entitled to is actually just their misguided political views. Doing so is just an extension of the “Big Lie.”
