- I'm not an expert here, but I am fairly certain states have been passing different language through the years. Indiana? - Strongbad Aug 29, 07:49 2

    - IMO, his major point is that he is siding with the current Governor on this issue and the business lobby instead of their opponents. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 29, 07:52

  - Exactly. -- nm - znufrii, promoted Aug 29, 07:33
- Is Federal RFRA bigoted? -- nm - Strongbad Aug 29, 06:51 12
  - Yes. Next question. -- nm - TWuG Aug 29, 07:15
  - Was it passed to allow discrimination against individuals based on supposedly religious grounds? -- (edited) - znufrii, promoted Aug 29, 06:53 10
    - You and TWuG can discuss and let me know what you decide. - Strongbad Aug 29, 07:20 9

      - not picking a side but the non-/bigotteness of something can change with the passage of time for several reasons - Reagen Aug 29, 07:25
      - A cursory overview of the history of the act on Wikipedia tells me that it was passed to protect native religious practices - znufrii, promoted Aug 29, 07:25 6
        
        So the legislation wasn't bigoted when passed but the Court interpretation made it that way? -- nm - Strongbad Aug 29, 07:48 2
