No, forcing your religious beliefs on others is not a valid reason to discriminate, and genetics have nothing to do with anything at all.

It makes no difference why they are the way they are. You cannot use that as a reason to refuse to serve them if you operate a business open to the general public.

You still have your "freedom of religion" and they have freedom from your religion.

If you feel your religion won't allow you to treat everyone as equals, then working in retail is not for you.

If you can't argue with the facts, just act like a moronic middle school dropout.

You're not arguing at all.

You're rambling like a drunken imbecile, and acting childish instead of having a rational conversation.

I suspect you're so drunk you can barely see the screen, since you can't even seem to put together decent sentences.

Why not go sleep it off, and maybe your hangover won't be so bad tomorrow

If you feel your religion won't allow you to treat everyone as equals, then working in retail is not for you. [/quote] They do indeed have freedom from being forced to agree with any religion. They simply go someplace else. They have that freedom. There is no freedom from religion affirmed in the Constitution, beyond the premise that government cannot require any specific religion. It does matter why they are the way they are. Homosexuality has been put on par with race and gender. Biologically, that has not been proven to be so. The intent of this, and the entire lgbtq....etc movement, is derision. While the individuals do benefit, it is secondary to the people who legitimized the lifestyle. The Alinskyites are just following the plan, as set out by the man.

Then Muslim deli's/restaurants must serve bacon. You are saying that their freedom to practice their religion is limited to a private setting. That is not true. I'm kinda curious how you feel you can just proclaim something to be true, and it must be so. A wedding cake is more than just any cake. It has a specific purpose. That purpose is to celebrate a wedding. It is a symbol of that celebration. According to the religious doctrine of the bakers, the wedding of a gay couple is NOT a valid wedding. They chose to refuse to bake a symbol that celebrates that union. Religion is not a thing that you turn on and off. Though you consider it nothing more than a myth, greater minds than yours have disagreed with your opinion.

No, they don't have to serve bacon because they have never served bacon and they don't sell bacon to anyone else.

That lame argument has been shot down many times, and it should be obvious it's nothing like refusing to sell a product you do have and sell to others.

It makes no difference if they think it's "valid".
They weren't being asked to provide an opinion.

They were asked to bake a cake, just like all the other cakes they sold to other people for various occasions.

And yet they can't prove it's anything other than a myth.
Anyone is free to disagree with my opinion.
By the same token, I can disagree with theirs.

Like people do with their religion?

You still claim it is a cake like any other cake. That is incorrect. It is a wedding cake. I would not buy a wedding cake for a birthday. Now this is the difficult part for you, since you give no credibility to religion in general, and Christianity in particular. Their religion does not stop at their front door. It is a constant, in their lives. Selling a wedding cake, they expect their work to be used to celebrate a wedding as defined by their religion. It matters to them, and to be true to their religion, they cannot aid in a gay wedding celbration. THAT is the free exercise of their religion. You are suggesting, actually STATING, that they may not FREELY exercise their religion, but restrict it to the point where it is not evident to others. The lesbians are completely free to simply walk to a store that sells GAY wedding cakes. The bakery in question does not do that. To them, there is no such THING as a gay wedding. They do not sell gay wedding cakes, yet are forced to do so, or close. That is not freedom of religion. All wedding cakes are not created equal. They are to you, but that is irrelevant. They have a specific, legitimate reason to make a distinction. That reason is the free exercise of their religion. Where exactly is freedom FROM religion stated? In the mind of liberals, yes, but nowhere else. This is yet another extrapolation of the bill of rights, that is at odds with the document itself. You have the right to freely exercise your religion, but only in private. That caveat does not exist.

Not speaking for efw, but for me, yes. I have no desire to make someone else do something for me against his desire. And I don't care for people who would use the force of government to do so.


Exactly.

It's called freedom.

Bold concept I know.

Only applies if you favor unlimited government.


Exactly; and that really is the bottom line here.

If a business doesn't want me there because of the AR15 sticker on my car or the gold cross my daughter wears around her neck they should be free to say so. I won't be offended, but the business won't do so well either.

That's called FREE markets.

Me personally; I'd have baked the cake and had no problem with it. What two people do in their bedroom is of no concern to me if they want to give me their money. But anyone should have the right to practice their "principles" in any way they choose.

Again, the market will decide if they're right or not... NOT the govt.

Our American Civil War shows the futility of armed revolution. The South was well organized, united, and was crushed. Between the hundreds of thousands war dead, the millions of lives destroyed, the combination of war and Reconstruction so damaged the South that it has taken 150 years for it to fully recover. 150 years for the South to again be prosperous and vibrant. 150 years is a long, long, time chief. Families suffered, and the fabric of the country was forever altered.

Yes if Hillary gets in and Executive orders our guns away, you can try that "they fell out of my fishing boat in the middle of Lake Superior" defense. You'll also end up in Nuevo Dachau for perjury, obstruction of justice, and 4o other gun laws she'll introduce. Go ahead, talk big. BTW, who's providing for your family while you're locked up?

Bake the damned cake. Obey the law, otherwise you are no different that BLM. If you want change, make it the first Tuesday in November.


Sounds a little kghunty.

I understand exactly what you're saying here and don't disagree but I think you're missing the point people are trying to make.

As we bring governmental power to bear upon our societal desire to make room for minorities and giv them equal standing, we're stepping upon the toes of others.

I said it earlier and I'll repeat it... there is NO Constitutional right NOT to be offended. Our cultural hypersensitivity will be the end of us. EVERYONE need to quit whining!

E-eff-dubayou is correct.

Our courts listen to things they shouldn't be listening too.

i.e. We suck each other off and they won't bake me a cake. Or, I spilled my coffee on my kgunt and I want a new kghunt.

That's because they know that the government will uphold their anti-God views on things. Look, this should have been a closed and shut case from the very beginning. If the bakery didn't want to bake you a cake, then just go somewhere else....somewhere that you are wanted. Personally, I wouldn't want to do business at a place I wasn't wanted. A number of years ago, a Black friend of ours opened up a restaurant that became a very popular eatery. It happened to be right on the edge of the Black part of town. Most of their business was from Whites, and the Blacks objected to us coming into their "part of town". Eventually, the local Blacks put so much pressure on the lady, that she closed up. Now, we Whites were discriminated against, no doubt about it, but we went on about our way and found other places to eat.......just as the lezzies should have found someone else to bake their damn cake.

That was the point I was getting at in the first sentence of my post.

Private business should be able to serve or refuse service to anyone they choose. I don't agree with the courts granting special status to certain members of society.

However, it should be more than obvious that that is not currently the law. I am all for breaking the law, just don't cry when you get busted.
