Dramatic fear mongering and nothing more.
Fear mongering and nothing more eh ? How about telling that to the cake baker, the photographer, Phil of Duck Dynasty, Chic-Filet, the former Miss America contestant who were all asked about gay marriage, oh and the Dugger family where on and on it all goes. They want Christians to agree with them in the public eye, and if they don't then they are under attack after they oppose it and/or disagree with it.
Yes, it is nothing more than dramatic fear mongering. All of those people are still practicing their faith but some of those people are not allowed to use their faith as an excuse to violate civil law.
When Muslim Cabbies in Minnesota decided they didn't have to take fares from drunks, people with dogs, or those carrying booze they were ordered to do so regardless of their beliefs. It was hailed as a slap against "Creeping Sharia" and a victory for freedom. When a Christian baker decides their beliefs allow them to ignore civil law as well it is seen as a violation of their religious liberties. Sorry you don't get special exemptions from the law.
On a personal note, I actually really dislike PA laws but until they are changed or
thrown out by the courts we must follow the law until that time. I would be fine if PA laws went away with exception of essential services, lodgings, transportation, hospitals, etc. Let these businesses proudly state which members of society they will or will not serve. We'll the let free market work it out and when these places go out of business they'll have no one to blame but themselves.
Well then some civil laws may need to be revisited and then revised big time in these days and times, because as things get more creepy and out of order these days, then the law seems to be empowering the weird, the idiotic, the sometimes violent, the perverted, and the creepy side of life who is exploiting the laws to their benefits in which no one had to put up with before. The cabbies should have been ruled in favor of in the things that which you have listed above. Any judge who ruled differently was from straight out of HELL in my opinion. How would you like it if a drunk were to try and ride in your cab, and then he or she spewed all in the floor ? Or how would you like it if you had a customer who had a dog that hasn't been bathed in a while or it had some sort of skin infection, and it left a stink in your cab that took you weeks to air it out afterwards ? How would you like it if a person was carrying booze, and got in your cab only to have the bottle break, and then leaving a smell of booze in your cab that took you weeks to get aired out afterwards ? I think cigarette smoking is the same as these others mentioned..
Yes change the laws a bit, but they don't necessarily need to be thrown out completely. I would love to see the people being able to vote with their wallet in this nation very much so, but the left fears this idea
trust me. You would begin to see the left crumble and fall if they could no longer control things like they have been controlling them, and especially without this radical activist government helping them, so bring it on I say, because I would welcome that along with countless others in this nation who have been robbed of their freedoms over time.
