I am a worshipper of The Goddess. I believe that men who cannot achieve an erection have ANGERED Her

[MohRokTah]

Because of this, covering Viagra for male employees violates my strongly held religious convictions.

I should not be required to cover Viagra or Cialis for my male employees.

SCOTUS, what sayest thou?

[randys1]

1. Thought you were talking about Randi Rhodes for a minute, we call her "The Goddess"

[MohRokTah]

3. Just making a point

If the SCOTUS won't allow this exception, they are violating the spirit and the letter of the precedent sent in the Hobby Lobby decision.

[snooper2]

2. First you have to harass the IRS for a decade like scientology to get recognized

Then we can "mock" your "real" religion and you can do whatever you want

[MohRokTah]

4. PAganism is already recognized. eom

[geek tragedy]

5. Are you John Travolta? nt

[quinnox]

6. Ok, one of the weirdest OP headlines ever seen

[MohRokTah]

8. Just making a point

Where woudl the SCOTUS fall for a Fundamentalist Pagan sect that has a closely held corporation?

If you've ever read anything from the really out there Dianic Wicca sects, this is actually a potential reality. All it will take is one member of a severely Dianic Wiccan Coven that has a closely held corporation and this is a real lawsuit.

I, however, am not that fundamentalist in my Pagan beliefs.

[quinnox]

11. I know, but that still is a very odd headline!

[MohRokTah]

12. Intentionally so.

[dsc]

7. actually you aren't required to provide such coverage

that likely is because insurance companies have been providing such coverage without prodding but in point of fact, there is no viagra mandate.

[MohRokTah]

10. True enough, but a plan without Viagra coverage will cost more for my corporation with 100 employees

It's "non-standard" so insurance companies charge a premium.

[Llewlladdwr]

19. That's simply incorrect.

As a Federal employee I'm on Blue Cross Blue Shield and neither Viagra nor Cialis is covered for Erectile Disfunction.

It's 'non-standard' if either of these drugs IS covered for ED.

[Nobel_Twaddle_III]

9. your also going to have to hire some male employees to need the Viagra or Cialis

[MohRokTah]

13. I have three employees in their sixties, all of which have a prescription for Viagra or Cialis.

BTW, as a male in his fifties with other medical issues, Cialis is superior to Viagra.

[McCamy Taylor]

14. I support your deeply held religious beliefs. Will the SCOTUS do the same?

[MohRokTah]

15. They are not Roman Catholic in origin.

Ergo, I doubt the Roberts Court would give this as much consideration as religious beliefs opposed to birth control.

[valerief]

16. "Hand over a million to each of us and we can talk." nt

[wyldwolf]

17. heh heh heh little missy. You do have a powerful, ah say a powerful sense of humuh!

It's a man's Christian right to have an 'rection. How else will he carry out his divine duty to make babies?

[MohRokTah]

18. Using chemical means to achive an erection violates the WILL OF THE GODDESS

The male's member will shrivel and die as the Goddess has cursed him.

[VanillaRhapsody]

20. this has nothing to do with religion.....they just codified Sexism!

those 5 are misogynists....

[MohRokTah]

21. DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING!!!!!

You have won the thread.

[The Traveler]

22. Seems fair AND implies an important safety tip

Don't anger the Goddess. The results just ain't worth it.
