LAST EDITED ON 07-01-14 AT 06:53 AM (EST)Nice to meet you, Speakup. Shall I now insult you by saying it's about time you did your own thinking instead of letting a group of bigots two to six thousand years dead do it for you? Or would you just take that as a compliment? How much of a fight would you like to have? Shall we both get ourselves banned here? Let's find out what the limits are before we go any farther, because you just crossed a line or two and I am more than capable of following. Personally, I'd ask you to explain the vasectomy/IUD divide, but I have no confidence that you'd answer it. Insult me for asking, yes. Answer, no.
In short form as I see it: you think you won. And you're right. Where I feel you're failing to see reality: you seem to think you're the only one who won. There are more faiths than just yours, and every one of them gets to try applying this. Legally, they now get to make that attempt.
You may feel you have the one true faith. So does everyone else.
So tell me why a Calvinist can't say 'My god's limited mercy does not apply to you' and express it as a canceled policy. That's the faith, Newsome: a recognized one with a good deal of seniority. Your death was predetermined by that deity. Can't argue with the decision of the deity. You never seem to, so why should they?
Also, about that 'illegal to inquire' question above. How does any prospective employee know what their coverage will be? How do you ask without breaking the law? What obligation does the corporation have to tell you?
Or just keep going with your current track and slap me in the face again.
That's part of the faith too, isn't it?
