When life is fair give me a call until then it's every man or woman or whatever for themselves...Yet when I ran my business I never discriminated against the customers money..What I find absurd is that only one sin is enforced by the bakers, cake decorators or whomever takes offence to sin..I didn't know christians were suppose to be lenient in other sins people commit..Will you damn propagandist stick with one pejorative to use this is getting old..They're Nazis, they're commies, they're Marxist, they're fascist.....Do you people even know how to converse without the false narratives?
Give us but one real example of how the Pride flag has oppressed you OP.
I am not a Baker, wedding caterer, owner of a B&B, a wedding photographer, a college professor or student.......I have been untouched....
But when they came for the Baker....I said something.
When they came for the college professor, and researchers....I said something.
When they came for conservative speakers....I said something.
You will be silent till the end, on the train car to your work camp....
Their religious beliefs are their religious beliefs...not to be questioned by you or to be limited or determined by you. We have religious freedom in this country, had it engraved in our Bill of Rights long before fascists like you came along....
So religious beliefs take precedence over the rights of others? Do you realize that there are millions of beliefs floating around in this country? You can make up anything and call it a "belief." It seems to happen a lot.
This is a ridiculous statement. People question other people's beliefs all the time, including right here on USMB. Christians take smacks at other Christians, at Jews, at Muslims, at Pagans (I haven't seen the Sikhs or the Hindus put on the USMB grill yet, but who knows)? This stupid idea that a person's "belief" is paramount certainly has and will continue to increase scrutiny of an asserted "belief." And as you must know, the phenomenon of "cherry picking" among the scriptures of various faiths is quite common.Their religious beliefs are their religious beliefs...not to be questioned by you or to be limited or determined by you.
Yes....religious beliefs take precedent over serving customers.....that is why we have the 1st Amendment. Cherry picking isn't up to you to decide......a persons religious beliefs are their religious beliefs and do not have to pass muster with you....
The first amendment is not absolute, and "beliefs" do not necessarily take precedence over our laws. I can criticize anyone I want to. This is my right under the first amendment. I can criticize people for cherry-picking if I wish.
You fail to even acknowledge that there are millions of beliefs in this country, among the 320+ million of us, so your theory probably would cause social chaos.
You and your religion are not entitled to special treatment. Remember "equal rights, not special rights"?
You also fail to acknowledge that people's "beliefs" are criticized every day, including on USMB. What I said above about USMB is correct.
If you can dish it out, but you can't take it, that's your problem.
