5. False analogy in a couple of respects.

First is that you are on the wrong end of the bargain. The quote you cited does not prohibit paying interest, which you are doing, it prohibits chargng interest, which you are not doing. And before you claim the purity of saving them by nor abetting their evil acts, the Hobby Lobby was not trying to prevent its employees from using birth control.

Second, you entered into the agreement to pay interest, and so cannot claim a moral repugnance against an action to which you have already agreed. Hobby Lobby did not agree to provide birth control, that was forced upon them.

I'm not supporting the decision, I don't like or agree with the decision, I'm just refuting sloppy thinking.
