Your confusion on this point is especially puzzling, **elucidator** , because of this exchange:

And what “burden to religious practice” are we talking about? The dreadful burden of knowing that other people do not adhere to my religious opinions?

So back on July 5th, you were aware that the RFRA applied to all Acts of Congress, not just contraception.

Yet today, you asked essentially the same question, wondering if contraception was some special case, even though I had just told you that the RFRA applied to every single act of Congress, every single federal law.

Asking the question a second time, with seemingly no recollection of the first time, is a puzzling approach. How did this happen?
