But the Bible regulates slavery and says it's OK. So it's a Natural Law!

So YOUR version of God creates gay people for the sole purpose of being abused by society and if a society doesn't abuse them then he gets angry?

pretty sick. if anybody would ever WANT to worship that version of God i'd have to kinda slowly walk away from them and then after awhile start running and not look back out of fear.

does that God also cut babies with a knife slowly for kicks?

What does a business of public accommodation - a rental hall - have to do with religious freedom and one's right to practice religion?

=Jaymax;25806929]I find prejudice, bigotry and discrimination offensive. Don't you?
Ahhhh, JayMax has spoken from her enlightened pulpit! LOL

*drinks a beer* I know you are not talking to me...but I want to answer this one. That is to say/ask...what in the bleeding hell do you mean by "predjudice, bigotry, and discrimination" being "offensive?

That phraseology is just one of those super-emotive that mean nothing more than Humpty Dumpty in Lewis Carrolls" "Through the Looking Glass; Alice in Wonderland". when the character just defines words according to the "meaning" being nothing more nor less than what "he" wants it to mean.

Sometimes "discrimination" and "predjudice" are quite human and quite rational. You -- as well as the rest of the human race -- practice it every day of your life by choosing who you associate with, and what kind of judgements you make on others. Tell me I am wrong.

Sorry to spill sweet Southern tea on you, JM, but having read many of your posts, you seem (like many on the activist leftist gay arena are) about the most "bigoted" and "intolerant" of all.

You dare call out others for "bigotry" and "discrimination" and whatever the hell, but have no "tolerance" -- in turn -- at all -- for those who just might...just might...have a different world/moral vision than you do.

*animated falsetto voice* Oh lordy mercy me, jayymax "find(s) prejudice, bigotry and discrimination offensive" And, by the tone and content, seemingly presumes others need a self-delivered lesson on the subject.

For some reason it never seems to occur that the said definition might mean different things to different people. But of course, that is gay/left "tolerance for you!

Good gawd amighty...where do you people come from? And why do not practice the tolerance you all make a public point to so self-righteously preach?

Instead of letting it go these vindictive homosexual bullies intentionally and deliberately took it upon themselves to punish the Wildflower Inn for having beliefs they don’t like and if they could put them out of business they would happily do so.

Thanks to these little “darlings” nobody can have a wedding reception there anymore. They obviously are savoring their victory and proud of what they accomplished.

Needlessly taking punitive action and financially punishing the Wildflower Inn makes them bullies. They should have taken their business elsewhere to a homosexual friendly establishment, which is what they wound up doing, and let it go at that. The Wildflower Inn did not have to be sued.

It would be much more logical to just ban all same-sex marriages in the first place, then no-one would have to worry about being sued/fined etc..

Apparently too many people don't know what the meaning of Freedom of Religion is. The business owners are not being denied the right to practice their religion. They are, however, using their business in a manner that is in violation of state law.

Freedom of Religion does not give you free reign to break Federal and State law. Otherwise, everybody could just make up their own religion that says, "Stealing is a tenant of my religion, and therefore the State is denying me my first amendment rights by not allowing me to be a thief".

You people just hate the law when it rules in favor of something you hate (gays). Has nothing to do with Freedom of Religion.
