I don't remember the law shielding those accused of child molestation. Those religious folk had to stand trial like everyone else. Not much protection there.
Churches we sued for their complicity and obstruction.
There is no religion where child molestation was part of its tenets...
Of course, a couple dressed in Nazi uniforms should be able to get ammariage license from a Hassidic rabbi, right?
No discrimination means no discrimination.
If a hassidic couple came to their wedding in Nazi unifroms for their hassidic wedding, no court in the land would convict a rabbi for questioning their mental soundness.
If a hassidic couple went to Roman Catholic priest to perform a Hassidic ceremony, would the preist be liable for not performing a hassidic ceremony?
Good. Its about time. Let the homosexual lobby attack business in your state eventually they will leave for a friendlier state. Its pretty petty and sad when homosexual do this on purpose knowing full well the businesses won't bake their cake or do their floral arrangements for their "wedding".
So to you a homosexual is even a worse person than one who cheats on his or her spouse?
I see signs all the time that say they reserve the right to deny business to anyone they choose.I think I am going to sue wal mart for not letting me walk around with no shirt or shoes on! Its my right! The homosexuals are discriminating by trying to force someone to serve them when they religious views say they are against what the homosexuals stand for..go to a store that would welcome your business.
Should it be a crime for a homosexual to deny or not reveal who he or she is when trying to do business with a shop known not to serve homosexuals?
How is it freedom if a homosexual is allowed to force a christian to serve them?
How is it freedom for the businessman, who refuses service to homosexuals, when the homosexual denies or fails to reveal to the businessman that he or she is a homosexual?
They can and will refuse if the person wanting the cake violates the cake makers religious views. People just need to grow up and find someone that will take their money from them no matter their sexual preference. Stop making a big deal over it.They are just burning bridges..
If a bakers religion prevents them from baking cakes for the public, then they should not open a bakery.
If a florists religion prevents them from making flower arrangements for the public, then they should not open a flower shop.
Its pretty simple. You say the customer has the right to FORCE a religious person to make a cake,make a floral arrangement,officiate a wedding but the religious person has no right to say no I won't do that. So you are OK with discrimination as long as its against the religious person. I hate religion as much as anyone but I agree with them here...I think ANYONE should be allowed to discriminate however they wanted. If today I went to a club or bar or store and was told no you can't enter because you are white,or Atheist or Socialist or Fat or Tall. I wouldn't file a lawsuit but I would make sure my friends knew and to avoid the place...economically boycott them...they would either go out of business or accept me plus WHY would I want to go somewhere I am obviously not wanted and could be harmed? No thanks.I am not a drama queen.
No one FORCED the person to open a bakery or a florist shop. When the person CHOSE to open a business they agreed to serve the general public. If their religious beliefs prevent them from serving the general public, then they should not open a business.
As for churches they do not have to officiate ANY wedding that they choose not to officiate.
I don't think anyone should HAVE to work for anyone else but when you are in the public service industry you abide by the laws of the public.
Clergy and churches have always had strict regulations and I doubt that's going to change since the religion, by nature, is discriminatory and what makes each sect to "special".
I don't understand how people can confuse the two and think anyone can apply anything they want to their public business and it's all good. Your faith is personal and you can't make a business of it unless your business is starting your own church.
