Listen, I hate Obamacare as much as anyone. But the myth that Muslims are exempt has been disproven over and over and it doesn't help our cause to perpetuate a falsehood.

Now the Amish are a different story, and it's possible but unlikely that they could be found exempt, since they are exempt from paying some other taxes. In particular, self-employed Amish do not pay Social Security tax. Those employed by non-Amish employers do pay Social Security tax. The Amish do however pay real estate, state and federal income taxes, county taxes, sales tax, etc. So it's hard to see them being exempt from paying for Obamacare.

I will have to take you at your word; without a reference. But the principle is the same. You have stated that the Amish have certain waivers ,albeit, not ACA.

Ergo, the government is giving them a waiver for religious reasons on some taxes and not others. Therefore, the gov is deciding what is a recognized religious belief and what is not.

That is exactly where the HL case is currently. This is a very serious issue considering how the USSC is stocked.

God help us!!!
