Anti "discrimination" laws have recently been used to force Ministers to preform same sex "Weddings", rent out wedding halls for same sex "Weddings", sell wedding rings" for same sex "Weddings, bake wedding cakes for same sex "weddings", forced religious colleges to accept homosexuals into them etc.


Are the anti-"discrimination" laws as currently practiced in much of America bigoted against religious people who are trying to follow their religions.

Religions are a cult and I am part of it because I was brought up catholic and believe in god. But honestly, how do you believe in an unknown entity

No, and the argument that they are was made long ago to our Supreme Court (the argument then was that forcing white religious people to serve blacks violated their religious belief that the races should never mix or be integrated) and was soundly rejected.

No. The laws and cases in question govern FOR-PROFIT Business's, and not Churches, etc.

No. This argument was settled decades ago. Anyone who has seen those pictures of black kids sitting with white kids having food dumped on them understands *exactly* why businesses and other public accommodations are banned from discriminating. Businesses owned by people who thought their religion forbade "race mixing" just had to learn to live with it.

It astounds me that a person of the jewish faith doesn't understand this. There are still plenty of people in the world who believe their religion tells them that jews are the source of evil in the world. In america, those people get no traction.

no they just make laws like the current anti-discrimination laws that prevent them from following Judaism.

Just to clarify I'm not asking your opinion of the original intent of these laws I'm asking about the ones that include sexual orientation with the current interpretations (by people in governmental power) from across different parts of this country

Why does adding sexual orientation change anything?

You can follow you judaism all you want, you just cannot run a public business and use it to discriminate. Why can't you understand that? It is not directed at jews or christians, it is directed at all businesses. Having a religion does not mean you can avoid or ignore the law when running a business.
