For many Christians, God isn’t just their copilot—he’s their lawyer, too. And he’s a good one, with lots of ways to get around laws and regulations that they’d rather not obey.
Consider two of the most contentious Supreme Court decisions of the last few terms: King v. Burwell, which preserved Obamacare, and Obergefell, which gave gay couples the right to marry. Both of these cases were high-wattage media affairs and possibly historic moments.
But if you’d prefer not to obey them, with the right amount of religion, that’s not too hard to do.
Obamacare first. As is well known, closely-held corporations can opt out of part of Obamacare if they (the corporations that is) have a religious reason for doing so.
Less well known is that, thanks to a carve-out created by three centrist legislators (two Democrats and one Republican), anyone can decline to buy insurance by instead participating in a “health care sharing ministry,” or an HCSM. Affordable Care Act be damned... or blessed, I guess.
