Free Exercise Clause

In defense of the First Amendment.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."

... but the Obama administration just imposed a Trojan horse that, with the excuse of providing health care for all, forces employers to provide medical insurance for abortion and contraception, regardless of the moral beliefs. I did believe in Obama's promise of providing health care for all. Only now I understand what Chesterton meant when he said:

The modern world is not evil; in some ways the modern world is far too good. It is full of wild and wasted virtues. When a religious scheme is shattered (as Christianity was shattered at the Reformation), it is not merely the vices that are let loose. The vices are, indeed, let loose, and they wander and do damage. But the virtues are let loose also; and the virtues wander more wildly, and the virtues do more terrible damage. The modern world is full of the old Christian virtues gone mad. The virtues have gone mad because they have been isolated from each other and are wandering alone.
