Then you acknowledge that a business isn't a church. Killing your 'foot in the door of churches' bullshit when businesses are held to public accommodation laws. .
Not when engaged in commerce they don't. A business is a business first. And the fines for violating PA laws are levied against the business. If your religious beliefs are incompatible with your job, find a different job.
Your religious beliefs don't make you immune to any law you don't like.
Where is the law that says that only churches are allowed to abstain from participating in what they consider sacrilege?
When they declared businesses to be public property. Which is what this shit is really all about.
Yeah, well, businesses aren't public property..and neither are business owners.
But they are subject to public laws. The idea that there can be no regulation without ownership is Sovereign Citizen bullshit. The States have uncontested authority to regulate interstate commerce. And have since the constitution was written.
All without the imaginary 'you gotta own it to regulate it' nonsense.
That's a mistake.
I disagree. I think its completely reasonable for a State to require a minimum standard of conduct for those who are engaging in commerce in their State. And such a code of conduct mandating that customers be treated fairly and equally is also reasonable.
Its also fully within the State's authority. And without the 'collective ownership' nonsense that Sovereign Citizen movements push as the only justification for regulation.
