Is there a description of God that you find acceptable?
What do you mean? Playing it seems more to be playing semantics. I consider God to be a deity that has supreme power over the universe/forces but that is my personal definition the actual definition is the following.
1. (in Christianity and other monotheistic religions) the creator and ruler of the universe and source of all moral authority; the supreme being.
2. (in certain other religions) a superhuman being or spirit worshiped as having power over nature or human fortunes; a deity.
I personally am wondering what you mean by the question first.
So... let me get this straight: The US government wants companies to supply/cover birth control for it's employees, but some companies (that are religious) disagree with this? If I never got this correct, could somebody clarify for me?
Hobby Lobby will provide most contraceptives but will not allow the birth control pills they say cause de facto abortion in their opinion. The pills work by not allowing a fertilized egg to implant in the mothers uterus. They considered a fertilized egg a person and were suing as their say the mandate violates their religious beliefs and therefore violate the 1st Amendment to the United States Constitution.
It is in the video that I posted. I will give you others if you are curious.

religious companies view contraceptives as bad and don't want to be forced to provide them with the health care plans they provide.
Hobby Lobby said that only pills that cause de facto abortion in their opinion would apply. (I would like to note that it is birth control because it is technically not a pregnancy as the fertilized egg has not implanted)
I am personally against companies providing contraception/abortion pills as it would clearly violate the 1st Amendment to the United States Constitution as it infringes on religious freedom. I do understand where Hobby Lobby is coming from where they say that birth control pills they do not want to provide cause a de facto abortion.
I am assuming that you are for the contraceptive mandate Cartman?
