I know that makes it convenient for the Church of State to force everyone to worship at it's alter. All those that is, except those who don't eat. smirk

But what is your excuse for advocating the abandonment of human rights?

They haven't lost any "human rights"

They just can't force their beliefs on anyone else while offering services to the public for money

Lose the rhetoric and focus on reality


Loose your religious bias and apply your logic to any enterprise other than the matter at hand.

If some dude walks into my resturant with his pants down to his knees and want to sit on my furniture in his underware, do I have a right to refuse service. According to your reasoning--I would not have that right.

Forget the religious element. The right of association allows me to do what I want with what is mine, or to deny services for whatever reason I want.

The issue at the heart of alomost all of these cases is "property rights." If we have not property rights, we have no rights at all.
