Mr. Somebody said:
The bible says women should cover their hair.

Paul wrote that to criticise pagan Greek religious customs in which women wore their hair loose........

The cult of the goddess Demeter involved certain rites called the Eleusinian mysteries. A depiction of the Eleusinian mysteries on the Ninnion Tablet (above, from the fourth century b.c.) in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens shows women wearing only tiaras or leaf chaplets in their hair. In the Rule of the Andanian Mysteries it is stipulated that the initiates "are all to be wreathed with laurel" and that none of the women are to wear a "hair band, or braided hair." In the worship of Dionysus, the female celebrants known as maenads not only came with uncovered heads but also let down their hair and danced in the public processions. Many ancient paintings show women presenting offerings at altars—probably as priestesses—without headcoverings.

I wish this would happen. The Hobby Lobby decision would get overturned with the quickness and they might reconsider that whole corporate personhood thing.

I love hijabs and hijabis but I don't wear it because I wouldn't want to appropriate it into just being a fashion accessory.

“If Hobby Lobby can impose its religious beliefs on its employees, why can’t we?” he demands. “Are Christian business owners somehow more important than Muslim business owners?

“I read through the entire Supreme Court decision. I don’t really see what the problem is here. I’m a small, closely held business. I have devout religious beliefs. Why should I be forced to employ people if it violates my religion?

El-Helani also says he plans on cutting off his employees' hands if he catches them stealing, in accordance with Islamic law.

"This is what religious freedom looks like,
" he explains, "Thanks John Roberts!"

This has to be an Onion article.
