Seriously this article pissed me off, I had to stop lol.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, top medical adviser to President Joe Biden, said religious exemptions are “something we should look at.”

“If there is a legitimate religious exemption, fine. I am one of the people that respect the tenets of religion,” Fauci told USA TODAY's Editorial Board. “But if people make it up, and it's really a philosophical reason and they’re saying it's religious, that's not good.”

What’s that mean? I thought veganism was even considered a religion. What needs to be looked at? a deeply held belief whether religious or philosophical is no different, if I don’t believe in abortion or using fetal cells or my/your body is a temple and get to decide what’s put in it why is that not a sincerely held belief?

When vaccinologist John Grabenstein looked at how the world’s major religions view vaccines for a 2013 paper, he found few theologically based objections…He also found plenty of examples of religions calling on people to stay healthy to prevent infection*.

I’ve never heard a pastor tell people to get a flu vaccine.

“Every one of the major religions has a major emphasis on preserving life,

Like abortion or fetal cells?

whether that's Judaism, Christianity, Islam, etc.” he said. “Oftentimes, (there is) a claim of a religious prohibition, (but) when you get down into reading what the religions teach, it's not there.”

Because people don’t worship their religious leaders they have religious beliefs and their pope or whatever can say something completely asinine and they ignore them.

But courts have since struck down religious exemptions limited to organized or established religions as too narrow. They must also apply if a person’s beliefs are “sincerely held.”

Yeah, no kidding, their men not gods.

“It is essentially impossible to look inside someone else and make a judgement about how honestly or deeply felt (a belief) is,”

Oh I’m sure they’ll pull out the fmri’s to see if you’re telling the truth in the next few months.

Grabenstein said. “So it’s a conundrum for society.”

No, it’s a conundrum for you, how about the government and private businesses stay out of my head and I’ll leave you alone. Nobody has the right to know what I truly do or do not believe except me and the ones I wish to share it with.

That’s as far I’m going with this article. They’re trying to control read your minds and thoughts to try and distinguish philosophical between religious for the state.

Your conscience no longer matters people, the government decides what you’re allowed to object to put in your body unless it’s a fetus.
