Hobby Lobby Controversy

I’ve been thinking about all this controversy surrounding Hobby Lobby, and I’ve (until now) kept quiet about it.  However after having a “friend” tear me apart because I said, “Hobby Lobby and I are friends “I believe I will speak my mind.   This person said that Hobby Lobby was forcing their beliefs on their employees.  Really? First, I would like to know How Hobby Lobby is doing this- Is someone forcing them to work there?  I would say to that employee the same thing I would say to anyone else.  Don’t work for a place that you find does not line up with your own belief system.  For example, I do not drink so I will not work for a place that sells alcoholic beverages and if, for some reason, you find yourself in a job where you don’t agree with their belief system; quit!- no one is forcing you to work there.  I work for a major retail company, and they expect their employees to line up with their policies.    Second, what about the beliefs of the company? Do they not have any rights?  If the individual has rights, then so should the company.  They should have the right not to have to pay for Health care in which they do not believe.  By the way, I also believe that goes for the individual. The fact is I don’t believe my tax money should pay for abortions; which go against my moral convictions.  I can’t legislate someone else’s morality (nor would I) but please don’t ask me to help you be immoral.  I say the same thing applies to a company such as Hobby Lobby also. That CEO is acting on his conviction that killing an unborn baby in wrong and he should not have to assist someone commit an immoral act.  So I applaud Hobby Lobby and wish that more workplaces would stand with them.  I hope that I have not offended anyone too much and those that truly know me know that I condemn no one, but I do hate sin.
