Great, so your hypothetical Amish have already been granted all their hypothetical wishes, so you answered your own question.

Not hypothetical. And wrong government. You also misunderstood the quote which was speaking of a general philosophical scenario.

A US supreme court ruled that Amish (who per their religion oppose insurance) are exempt from the social security system on the basis of religious freedom. The hypothetical is obviously unanswered, as it’s Amish people in Europe and not over insurance but over forced use of on-grid technology and forced use of machines that are more complex than a word processor.

How do you even think a European gov could have protected the religious freedom of the Amish? They do not exist in Europe. US and Canada only.

You only posted this trainwreck

Your trainwreck, not mine. I was after intellectual replies by folks with a bit more civility. The train wreck is purely your hot-headed emotional rant – effectively your #threadCrap.

and now that you have been mad and answered your own question, why don’t you bake some bread or do some other useful stuff after maybe deleting this whole episode from lemmy so you don’t waste other people’s time?

Why don’t you try to practice constructive use of your own time by writing civil responses - or not writing at all? Lose the hot-head, think about the inequality of religious freedom to religious people and lack thereof to non-religious people with an equally strong moral code, and try to come up with something that avoids logical fallacy. Even better if you can display a bit of inspirational wisdom.
