Freedom is really not applicable to Christian businesses!

Taking the cues from your apporoved media sources I know exactly what its about.


But it still doesn't change the fact that that post when right over your head.

No, it didn't. Maybe my post went over your head?

Edna, can you cite the text of the (former) law that discriminates against gays (or anyone else)? It's not a very long law. I've read it over a couple time and I'm just not seeing it. Let's work through this.

I don't think that's in the bible. There are a few pretty specific sections against sleeping with other dudes though.

are there any specific sections on being a dick to other people?

Christ died  and rose so all who believe that he is Lord and Savior will have eternal life with him in Heaven.  He died so God would forgive us our sins.  Every person is a sinner and the sin separates us from being with our Holy and sinless God.   Jesus reconciled us tothe Father by his death - the penalty of death has been erased.  Jesus died for all sinners, even gay folks.  My sins are no less or greater than someone else's.   All are invited to repent of their sins, ask for forgiveness of them from Jesus, and to follow him and abide in his teaching.  If we continue to keep living in a certain sin without repentance we can fall away.  Christ reaches to love and pray for all so they may know the love of Jesus.  Frankly, knot head Christians like myself fail to follow Christ's directives.  Thankfully he forgives us.  I pray for peace and better understanding for all people.

Yes. A lot.

If adults acted like adults none of this would be a problem.

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

On one hand you have a businessman refusing to sell someone his services because he disagrees with how they live their life. Nobody is asking him to condone gay marriage, participate in the service, or even approve of it. Just take money, and cook food and serve it.

On the other hand someone has been told they wont be served because of the way they live their life. They weren't told they couldn't live that way, it's a one off incident, not a systemic problem (although some very awful people are portraying it that way), and they can get food at any number of other places. Instead of going elsewhere, they're throwing a huge fit and insisting on being served out of spite towards the person doesn't agree with them.

If anyone I ever knew acted like either of these people, I'd slap them in the face and tell them to grow the eff up.

How do you prove religious belief in court? Baptism receipt?

Freedom of religion means you are welcome to create your own religion and follow its tenets. Having a list of government-approved religions would be fascism at its finest.

It's like Fred Dhurst said, sometimes you gotta have faith.

Only be dicks to people who don't agree with you.  Also, kill them

If a woman discriminates against gays because the bible tells her to, she must also sacrifice pigeons every time she has her period.  Otherwise she is not really discriminating because she is Christian, she is just doing it because she's a bigot.

In all seriousness though, the government shouldn't have any say in who businesses cater to. If I open a business and don't want to cater to KU fans, then that should be on me.

I agree as long as you post a sign listing all the people/groups who you will not do business with.

Yes because your human condition is the exact same as who you root for.

Also something which was touched on in Heart of Atlanta.  Apparently the Court found it sad that black people needed to develop a book of business open to them.
