re: "A New Clash Between Faith and Gay Rights Arrives at a Changed Supreme Court" (The New York Times, December 4, 2022)
The zealous fans of that famous sacred text Mein Kampf have indubitably sincere beliefs that are as well founded on reason, reality and moral decency as are the moral convictions of any other set of sacred texts pushed by any religion. (Every single supernatural claim about reality by every religion is exactly exactly equally well supported by solid evidence.) Must their sincerely held beliefs that comport with their strongly held faith about what a greater power dictates be so be similarly respected?
And then there are all those explicit endorsements of slavery in the Christian Bible, especially in the New Testament — passages such as Titus 2:9 and Ephesians 6:5. How exactly is the law of the land to accommodate the beliefs and practices of those who sincerely yearn to follow those commands of their loving god?
