Episode notes
True Religious Freedom Defined
- Religious freedom means living faith 24/7, not just reserved for worship hours.
- Personal conviction and relationship with God guide religious objections beyond specific biblical mandates.
Compelling State Interest Explained
- Compelling state interests allow government to limit religious freedom but must be proven and necessary.
- Issues like traffic safety or illegal drugs justify exceptions; religion cannot override harm to others.
COVID Vaccine and Religious Freedom
- COVID vaccine was not fully tested and caused many adverse effects and deaths according to Brad Dacus.
- Without prevention of transmission, mandating vaccines violates religious freedom without compelling state interest.
