Rights that can't be used for fear of having them stripped are not rights.

    That seems correct.

    I would personally have to see the holy book that talks about how AI is wrong before I could buy into this supposed right.

    Humanism is not a religion. Talk about stretching a law to its breaking point.

    I can see your gears not quite meshing from way over here.

    Yes it is.

    Also, even if it wasn't it wouldn't matter, legally speaking. The EEOC guarantees protections whether or not an organization has tax exempt status.

    I don't agree with this Federal court decision and nor does many other humanists like me.

    HAHAHAHAHAHA

    Alright, so I can wrap my head around this. Your response to being told that no one is "stretching the law" because the law specifically protects this kind of speech is to say "nu uh?"

    You're claiming a religious exemption from the law that enables you to claim a religious exemption?
