I think a lot of people on here are "fishing for a hypocrisy story" as one commentor said.

What's the point in that? what if you're right,is it a surprise that hypocrisy exists? it only speaks to the character of the individual(s) not the quality or correctness of their belief. A person did something criminal. period. what point is there to be made with respect to their religion? Did they claim their religion mandated the importation of the artifcats or the ignorance of the laws involved? or is the expectation here that people of certail beliefs or moral values are incapable of committing crimes?

Regardless, I hope the people making this about religion also hold other corporations who commit crimes to the same standard and associate their beliefs or religion with their crimes.

I for myself won't correlate an unrelated moral or ethical stand someone is making to a separate crime they've committed. Would you call a theif a hypocrite because he said he was against murder? or the same accusation to a murderer because he was against rape?

Come on... leave some room to reason.

There's no need to fish. See my comments above, they Green's were well briefed on this before they started their collection. They were briefed by a well-known legal authority. Honestly you sound like a shill.

>"Regardless, I hope the people making this about religion also hold other corporations who commit crimes to the same standard and associate their beliefs or religion with their crimes.

Why wouldn't they?

>"Come on... leave some room to reason." Except that none of the actions or claims by the Hobby Lobby stand up to reason, which is why they lost in court.

Nein, the story is about a crime, why fish or something else?

> Why wouldn't they? Because it happens all the time and nobody says "Oh, <insert corp> are atheists,that's why they're so bad, hypocrits!" maybe that's just because their beliefs has no moral standards at all.

>"Come on... leave some room to reason." Except that none of the actions or claims by the Hobby Lobby stand up to reason, which is why they lost in court.

I wasn't defending hobby lobby, "reason" in that context means accusing someone of a different crime when the evidence/context is for a present crime. You're calling a thief a hypocrite because he said he doesn't approve of murder. that is unreasonable.
