The tales of Brownback mountain: My religious liberty > your liberty

[michigancat]

I guess non-crazies that live in Kansas should be a little ashamed. (SUCH AS SLUCAT)

[Rage Against the McKee]

Is this law specifically targeting gays, or is it more broad? Could somebody refuse service to an adulterer on the basis of their Christian beliefs? I mean, you could find instances of everybody sinning at some point, just sit on your ass all day doing nothing, and not have to worry about ever being fired because you are just following your religion.

it's like kansas and oklahoma are in a pissing match to see who can build the fastest bullet train to bigotville

Who will be in charge of reviewing denials of service against the Bible to make sure it was an religiously acceptable denial.

so weird that like 100% of all blacks, mexicans, and middle easterners are gay now

its worded pretty specifically against gays in relation to gay marriage.

but all you would have to do is say this

so weird that like 100% of all blacks, mexicans, and middle easterners are gay now

and recieve protection from the law.

its a shockingly horrible law that will cost the state shitloads in defense before the supreme court eventually beats that ass.

I think Jesus acknowledged that everyone is a sinner at some point, so I think you are probably covered just refusing service to everyone.

I don't know anything about our state senate. Is there any hope that they will kill this? I know Brownbadenijad won't veto.

The Senate is a little more moderate than the House, but I think this law probably passes. It would not have passed a few years ago, but most of the RINOs were voted out last election.

It passed the house almost 2:1

I keep thinking this should shock me and then I read the Wabash Thread of the Day thread and it makes complete sense that this could happen in KS.

Somebody needs to refuse to serve Brownback and see what happens

So let's say I start my own religion...

It says on religious grounds... not on christian grounds or anything specific

[Mrs. Gooch]

If you want to do a little more than talk about it, here is a list of who voted for the bill http://kansasequalitycoalition.org/viewevent.php?e=4981 so you know who to vote out in the next election

And here is where you can find out who your representative is http://openkansas.org/ .
And in the meantime check to see who your state senator is and send him/her an email or letter letting them know you want them to vote it down.

And here are a couple of petitions you can sign.

Pretty sure the flying spaghetti monster religion was founded for purposes just like these

thanks mrs. gooch. I really want to let my hometown rep have it but it probably wouldn't be too effective since I don't live there and all.

[ChiComCat]

My rep voted against it.  I know him and he is a good man so I would've been shocked to see him vote for it.

How do you prove that it is a "sincerely held religious belief"?

You have to have a long history of being hateful to the gays

Just get a placard that says "NO" and put it up at your work station, then party

[Stevesie60]

Since we'll never separate church and state then, as a Christian, I hope we become an atheist nation.

He's a loving Bear. He wouldn't allow us to discriminate against people that we think are assholes.
