Hobby Lobby long term goal: "Mandate" 4 Year Bible Curriculum - that Hobby Lobby writes - in Public Schools
Anyone still want to pretend this doesn't extend beyond birth control?

While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.
Previous comments... You are currently on page 4.
(That's from AS part III maph)
Apparently have no problem with the ACA / Obamacare and the consequent government takeover of health care itself. So there isn't really a lot of room for discussion.
You like big government and all its ills, and I do not.

Only if we stop them. They've got plans to do exactly that. You seem to be operating on the assumption that these plans are inherently doomed and guaranteed to fail, while the truth is that they will only fail if we fight back against them. Sure, Hobby Lobby may not be in a position to mandate anything RIGHT NOW, but they are very clearly attempting to put themselves into such a position, and they will succeed if we don't fight back.

"mounting evidence that the dictatorship was depraved and murderously cruel."
Christianity didn't make it depraved and murderously cruel. It wasn't depraved and murderously cruel because it was fundamentally Christian. Or Moslem. Or Jewish. Or Buddhist.
Objectivism has as much to do with Nazi Germany's depraved and cruel nature as Christianity. Because Objectivism can as easily be warped as can Christianity to justify depravity and cruelty.
Again, like with communists and all the rest on the left, religion, any religion, is just a tool to further their agenda, not a motivating belief system.
I like that...
A growing body of scholarly research, some based on careful analysis of Nazi records, is clarifying this complex history.2 It reveals a convoluted pattern of religious and moral failure in which atheism and the nonreligious played little role, except as victims of the Nazis and their allies. In contrast, Christianity had the capacity to stop Nazism before it came to power, and to reduce or moderate its practices afterwards, but repeatedly failed to do so because the principal churches were complicit with—indeed, in the pay of—the Nazis.
Most German Christians supported the Reich; many continued to do so in the face of mounting evidence that the dictatorship was depraved and murderously cruel. Elsewhere in Europe the story was often the same. Only with Christianity’s forbearance and frequent cooperation could fascistic movements gain majority support in Christian nations. European fascism was the fruit of a Christian culture. Millions of Christians actively supported these notorious regimes. Thousands participated in their atrocities.
What, in God’s name, were they thinking?
Before we can consider the Nazis, we need to examine the historical and cultural religious context that would give rise to them."

Just for your general fund of knowledge I cant stand either party. I am for small government which neither party supports.
The Republicans rob you blind and the Democrats make sure you are too poor to rob. Not much difference to be seen for the people having their pockets picked.
Zealots of either stripe are a ridiculous pain in the ass.
I am not sticking my head in the sand.
Unlike you I understand the reality that Hobby Lobby is not now, nor is it ever likely to be, in a position to mandate anything of the sort in the public schools.
Did you not read that far in my post?
In a private school they could, but not in the public schools. And in a private school that is perfectly ok.
Something else to think about too, if they did set up private schools like that plenty of people would prefer that to the public schools.
The only one denying reality here is you, but then you are busily surrounding yourself with straw man arguments so there is no room for reality.

Much of the "state religion' revolved around the historic pagan religions of the Germanic regions.
And all religious references were used by the Nazis to promote their agenda... just like communists do.
Oh, and the Soviet Union made Nazi Germany look like humanitarians... so try again.

I suppose you don't need to watch the video, as the transcript of what was said is written right there, so you could just read it if you prefer. But sticking your head in the sand and pretending Hobby Lobby doesn't actually have these plans is a denial of reality.
You're all for freedom of religion... until someone chooses to exercise his CHRISTIAN religion...
