I'm OK with people using those on the Hobby Lobby as well.
Political disagreement = call for violence
How subtle.
Oh come on I'm just joking, I don't actually condone violence on them and violence should only be seriously considered in any situation if all other options are exhausted and you can justify such an action.

Well that was a boring and rational response to Auston's post. I'm disappointed. For a thread about religion AND politics, we're being awfully kind in here...
Any more news on this? Google isn't turning up anything of interest.

They did a great job with my Badab War Poster, though.
Spoiler:
But when you had it made, did you mention that those Space Marines worshipped a corpse-god? Because odds are that if you did mention it, they would have refused you service for worshipping false idols!

Also Phantom, they would be fine since 1/3 of the Christian God is a zombie angel, and another 1/3 is a spirit to begin with. The dead practically rule christianity!*

Why the change of heart for Hobby Lobby's failure to comply with the law? Shouldn;t we Mace them too?
Except can we use an older version of the mace this time around?
Technically that's not a mace, that's a morningstar. The spikes give it away.[/medieval weapon geek]
O.o... that it was more like:

That's a mace-and-chain. Somewhere along the line, someone (probably Gygax) called one a morninstar and there's been confusion ever since.
CHAOS! PANIC! DISORDER!

Some people seem to be backing Hobby Lobby on this issue, likely because they are on the same side of the debate over woman's rights.
But if this goes through and Hobby Lobby wins an exemption on religious grounds, how about some Jehovah's Witness-based company deny Easter and Christmas holidays on the same grounds? Or Tom Cruise denying.... whatever he believes to be evil... lets say coffee... to the crew of his next film?

Do Jehovah's Witness' fund Christmas? Does Tom Cruise buy the coffee? Not really applicable situations.

Businesses must pay their employees extra on statutory holidays. Jehovah's Witnesses could try to get out of this on religious grounds.
The Tom Cruise thing was a bit of a joke, but I think production companies provide food and drink to the crew do they not?

This. I worked on Christmas Eve and received no extra pay. There is no law that demands this and Federal holidays are only required to be observed by the state.
Christmas Day, New Year's Day, Good Friday, Thanksgiving, Remembrance Day, Canada Day, and a few others are statutory holidays up here. Full time employees get a day off with pay or overtime if worked.
Don't you guys even get Xmas Day and July 4th? Are there any paid holidays at all in the land of the free?

Depends on the employer. There is no law about having holidays off, holiday pay, etc besides those that only effect government offices.
The US recognizes 11 Federal Holidays: New Years Day, MLK Day, Inauguration Day, Washington Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
On those days the Federal Government doesn't usually work and employees are paid. States sometimes do the same but there is no law that binds private employers to the standard (Banks regularly do however do the same things).
Typically a full time job will probably give someone most of these days off work (but may not be paid).
Well I do believe I learned something about my southern friends and neighbours. Thank you and good night!

While there certainly is no law requiring it, I have yet to work for a manufacturing company that doesn't have holiday pay, time off for salaried folks on holidays, etc.

Agreed, I have 9 paid days off due to company holidays. So with that list that was given of federal holidays, I work a chunk of those, but like I have New Year's Day, President's Day, Memorial Day, July 4th and and 5th this year, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Black Friday, and Christmas... so there are plenty of days that I have work when others don't, but yeah... The ONLY job I've ever worked that worked on a holiday was when I worked at a summer camp. I "technically" didn't get memorial day off, but our boss was visiting family and told us to go home for the long weekend, but I should have had to work, and for the 6 years I worked there, I never once had a July 4th off.
