The next culture war is certain to be whether traditional Christians can own businesses and if so, can they run their business by those values. For instance, could a Christian photographer refuse to photograph a gay wedding? Can a Christian bakery refuse to bake a gay wedding cake? Most people would probably say they could not, and that if somebody is going to own a business, they should support same sex marriage. A photographer refusing to photograph a gay wedding is the same as a 'No Blacks Allowed' cafeteria.

Like the jews in Nazi Germany they will be boycotted, picketed and brought to court but instead of by Germans it will be by the radical homosexual/lesbian/transgender lobby and their supporters. Sorry lefties but I do not make the comparison of your struggle being the same as that of the African Americans.

(And if you are a business owner with half a brain, why would you?)

So if you want to not serve people who offend your Christian values, don't open a business that is provides public accommodation.
Who walks into any business and announces their sexual orientation to the owner?

This is what I don’t understand unless they are looking for attention or intentionally trying to make trouble which is usually the latter when matters of sexuality are concerned.

Don't worry, they'll make that cake and take those pics. One thing I've seen rise above morals from most Christians is money. No problems.

In some small towns, you don't have to do that. Everyone knows everyone's business, and I'm not talking about their occupation.

You compare America becoming more secular to Nazi Germany but cant compare two civil riggts movements? Wow.


I must have missed the part where Christians are being rounded up in camps, killed, beaten in the street, and systematically exterminated.

Oh? You just cant dictate others' rights anymore? Right.

Youre an idiot.

Funny, but I clicked on this thread thinking it was going to be about Christianity and those who oppose it. Little did I realize it would be yet another anti-gay-marriage thread...

Sort of like that?
I think you've once again confused reality as it is with reality as you'd prefer it.
