    Not so well. This lawyer is saying it’s totally okay to discriminate based on religion, but sexual orientation is off the table.

    If a Christian business needs to serve gay people then gay people should have to serve someone who is advocating for them to be executed for existing.

    If a business can't ban Jewish people then Jewish people should have to serve Nazi's.

    Very smart take.

    Funny how they don’t mention that there are plenty of Muslims who would refuse to serve gay people as well.

    Remember when Storm bragged about discriminating against Muslims, and then he turned out to be a full-blown swastika-kissing baby-cremation fanboy?

    Not as funny as watching you proclaim Islam is a horrific oppressive regime on one hand and arguing that Christianity should be free to do the same shit on the other.

    Doesn’t mean I agree with it. If I had a business I wouldn’t turn down money over someone’s sexual orientation, that’s just dumb.

    So, you're just virtue signaling how "consistent" you are.

    Yes I’m consistent in standing up for people’s rights. The business owner has a right to refuse business and the customer has the right to take their business elsewhere. What I wouldn’t do is say the reason for refusing business. That just invites frivolous lawsuits like this one.

    :lol:

    Imagine if someone tried a "no xyz allowed" business in 2022. The idiot would die in destitution, but the real harm would be in the way they dominate the news cycle at the expense of actually dire events. Forget about the apocalypse. Everyone yell at this fool and pay no attention to the apocalypse outside your door.

    I remember when it was,”we just want our rights and be lefty alone.” Now it’s, “ make my gay wedding cake or I sue you all of the way to the Supreme Court.”

    Again, see the Dave Chapelle quote in my signature. You don’t have a right to a wedding cake. You do have a right to express your religion.

    We left the monarchy long ago, we’re with federalism now. Get over it already.

    You're the states rights twat who doesn't like federalism - wake up and remember the persona you've built (or glued haphazardly together from snot and breakfast cereal).

    You said "no" to homophobia being intrinsic to Christianity.
    That makes homophobic Christianity a sub-cult within Christianity.
    Do sub-cults get tax exempt status just by sticking Jesus into their name?
    Mormonism didn't get to slip under that blanket.

    Those are examples of the rule that you said is stupid and should be overturned.

    In one of the countries posters in this thread live in what was the last major court case run by Muslims pushing for that sort of ability?

    Yes fundamentalist Muslims can fuck off just as much as any other religion, but in western society they gave very little power as a political bloc so don't come up anywhere near as often.

    Oh man

    In the first link the really religious person who wrote the article says this:

    No, it's not. That is so far away from actual persecution I don't even know where to begin. If the person needs to change the parameters of what persecution actually is, then I don't know why I should take this person seriously. Why do you?

    As for the other link the only one of the 7 examples that could be construed as persecution is the going to jail for refusing to bake a cake. But AFAIK that hasn't happened. And while I don't think he should have to go to jail for that, I have to say as a capitalist this man offends me as he's limiting his ability to make money. Go back to Russia

    Back in reality, white Christians in America enjoy one of the best quality of lives available on planet earth. They could have truly great lives and would be left alone but they choose to shoot themselves in the foot by trying to control and interfere in other people's lives based on a fairy tale, garbage piece of shit book that has no bearing on life today. They deserve all the derision aimed their way and look like fucking ridiculous snowflakes when they complain about it

    Remember kids, this is a group of people that have no problem with the first page of their holy book proclaiming that on the 4th day God created the sun....

    I'm not sure whether there was a historical Jesus or whether he was crucified or not, but they sure as hell made a human sacrifice of irony and intelligence.

    And along the way decided that it is really they who are the victims in every scenario, no matter how much havoc they wreak. After all, they can't have their holy orgasm until the whole world turns on them for their belief system.

    Cults face the same evolutionary pressures as any other system. This one works so well because it tells people to pop out a bunch of kids, revel in the disgust of others because it proves your own purity, and never, ever think.

    This analogy is stupid and you are stupid for making it.

    No one in this case is saying anyone has to provide any service they don’t already provide. Only that if you provide a service to one set of people you can’t deny that same service to others based on their sexual orientation.

    To try and save this analogy think about if a butcher sold pork to everyone else but won’t sell pork to you because they hate those with mental disabilities. They think y’all are a drag on society and should be removed from the gene pool. As you well know being a retard (all Disabilities actually) is a Protected Class in US Discrimination Law so you would have a case.

    Ever watch Murdoch Mysteries?
    Inspector Thomas Brackenreid : I find it hard to believe that such a precise model was built by an imbecile!

    Constable George Crabtree : Ooooh-sir, uh, I believe such people as Lydia are no longer referred to as imbecile. It's felt to be demeaning. The correct term nowadays is moron.
