I know some people keep asking for any verse in the bible that may support a religious exemption. Well this popped up on my app this morning and for some of you it may fit the bill. It's not about a vaccine, but it is about your freedom of will.
"Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." 2 Cor 9:7
Society is telling us that we should give our bodies to this massive science experiment for the "greater good" and is using various forms of force or pressure in the form of some kind of punishment to encourage compliance from those who are reluctant to give their bodies to science. However, God wants us only to give from our hearts, and we are instructed never to give under compulsion, this is a warning sign. If you are reluctant in any way, God says not to give. Remember, God gave us free will, God gave us our freedom to choose. To be pressured by any entity to do something against your will under the threat of punishment is a violation of your religious freedom and can and should be viewed as religious discrimination.
Claiming an exemption is implicitly agreeing that govt has the RIGHT to require an exemption in the first place, or else you have to do whatever they say.
Govt never had any right to pay for a vaccine to be created for an illness with a 99+% recovery rate and two cheap, widely available, highly effective CURES. Hundreds of M.D.s call them CURES. They hold medical authority. So, HCQ and IVM are CURES.
As such, govt never had any right to create any "mandate" for their phony "vaccine". I need no waiver or exemption from that which is illicit on its face from the moment of its creation.
If 100% of the populace held this view, govt would have 0% success in oppressing society with this fake covid bullshit.
I agree that the government has no right to require an exemption or to demand you have to take the death jab.
However, businesses can pretty much demand whatever they want, provided they don't discriminate against people That's why they can make you take a drug test before hiring you, why certain businesses have dress codes, and crap like that.
To circumvent their idiocy requires exemptions--I remember a few years back a Muslim woman complaining about The Gap or whatever the store was, because they had a rule where employees had to wear their clothes (advertise the merchandise, obviously), but she sued because she wanted to wear her head to toe bubble covering. She won, I believe, because they discriminated against her religious beliefs.
That's all the religious exemption is to me--something to keep me from having to get the mark of the beast to get or keep a job. If it works, fine. If it doesn't, I'll figure something out. I'm not selling my damned soul for a job.
How is this not discrimination?
It is, but most people don't see it as such.
I mean, if you want to get technical about it, hiring quotas are also discrimination. As the guy up above said, drug testing is discrimination. Hiring H1B workers over Americans is discrimination (when our unemployment rate is this high, there's no excuse for hiring foreigners over Americans, but that's what they do).
The problem is that the government supports this crap and won't put a stop to it because you have businesses lining politicians' pockets. Until the government starts doing what it's there to do--and NOTHING else--this stuff will continue and we just have to find ways to work around it.
That said, I've always been one who supported the idea that, as long as businesses follow the law (like not hiring illegal aliens), then let them do as they please. If they don't want drug users, fine. If they insist on having drug users, fine. Let people choose whether to support them or not. A truly free market would end up guiding business practices. Unfortunately, we've never had a truly free market.
IMHO this is only because it's never been fought in in the right court before the right judge, by a sufficiently canny lawyer.
Drug testing is outright invasion of privacy on the face of it, by definition. It also is highly unreliable, with a legendary percentage of false positives.
Agree with all that. I wonder why no one has ever tried suing over it.
That said, I am in a right-to-work state, so I'm used to employers demanding all kinds of bullshit to hire anyone.
I don’t need to ask for permission / beg to not be injected.
