The mayor of the city of Salem, Massachusetts doesn't regret her city's decision to sever its ties to Gordon College, the Christian university that asked the federal government to grant it a religious exemption from workplace protections for LGBT employees.

In fact, in a letter she posted to the city's Facebook page, Mayor Kimberly Driscoll pledged to donate five dollars to an LGBT youth charity for every angry phone call her office gets from conservatives bent on harassing city employees over the decision.

In the wake of the Supreme Court's historic decision in the Burwell v. Hobby Lobby case, Gordon College President D. Michael Lindsay joined a group of other Christian leaders who sent a letter to President Barack Obama insisting that their "sincerely held religious beliefs" compel them to demand exemption from federal nondiscrimination laws.

Suppose my sincerely held religious believes involve pummeling people into applesauce when they insist on oppressing LGBT people.

Do I get an exemption from homicide laws?
