Hey man, the Christians bring it on themselves. If they weren't so hateful, intolerant & judgemental, they wouldn't be getting the backlash they so richly deserve. It's called having a reaction. When someone keeps getting beat down over & over, you don't expect some fight back?
Hey man, bigotry by Christians is wrong, and so is bigotry towards Christians.
The bill had nothing do with gays, all it said was religious business had right too and that you can't sue because your feeling was hurt. It all about the exetreme attacking a business on purpose just to sue
The law said that businesses, government employees, and state funded orgs can deny services based on their beliefs that marriage is one man and one woman.
Sure that doesn't mean gays.
They were very careful to not use the word, but if you can deny service based on one being married or having sex with someone of the same sex, then that would mean only one thing.
Quote:
The sincerely held religious beliefs or moral convictions protected by this act are the belief or conviction that:
(a) Marriage is or should be recognized as the union of one man and one woman;
(b) Sexual relations are properly reserved to such a marriage;
Nonsense... The bill protects legitimate religious objections.
Stop being such a Drama Queen. You don't even live in that state.
The bill does no such thing. The only thing it accomplished is destroying the state's economy and making everyone view North Caroliners as even more backwards than they were before.
Teaching about Islam in our schools is considered appropriate, while teaching about Christianity is discouraged. Being homosexual is taught as an "alternative lifestyle", while the "Christian lifestyle" is not taught. I could go on, but you get the point.
Teaching about any religion is ok. How do you teach most of the worlds history without teaching about the religious beliefs of the area or time?
Being homosexual is taught along side of being heterosexual, religion is not the same as sexual orientation. Generally sexual orientation is covered in sex ed class, teaching religion in sex ed makes no sense.

really. so you're saying Christianity is not taught while other religions are? where?
newsflash, being gay in NO WAY ON THIS EARTH infringes on your rights as a Christian or a human being.
I'm surprised nobody is mentioning how this religious exemption could be turned against people who might never think it could affect them.
Say I started my "Mississippi Church of the Holy Gays" last week. I'm the self-appointed pastor and I'm an OBY-GYN at the local hospital. A pregnant woman comes in with internal bleeding from a car accident. I refuse to operate on her because according to my new religion, I only operate on Lesbians on Tuesday as one of my "religious edicts" and today is Tuesday. I'm the only doctor present who can perform this surgery to save her and her unborn child, but since she is straight and has her husband present, I refuse. They then have to take her to another hospital and she expires on the way there. I guess I cannot be sued because I'm protected by this new ruling. Also can I kindly remark to her husband that Jesus must have called her and his unborn baby home? I'm such a thoughtful soul!!!
I might see how there might be a few limited areas where someone might have a valid issue, but if you own and run a business that serves the general public, how can you pick and choose people to not serve, simply becase they are a legally married same sex couple?
The whole idea that I can refuse to sell you a freaking cake, just because you might place two plastc women on the top, is horse crap. It does not infringe on my religion to sell you food.
