Forcing someone to violate their religion is not a neutral law.
Neutral law means that the law is not singling out any one person or group. Anti-discrimination laws do not say Christians must not discriminate against Gays. The law says that places of public accommodation can not discriminate in the sales of goods, merchandise, or services. That applies to anyone who owns a business.
Furthermore, forcing a business owner to play a participatory role (provide goods and/or services) in a same-sex marriage when their religion prohibits such does not meet the third condition: "(3) the purpose could not be achieved by some less burdensome method." The gay couple can merely take their business elsewhere. That would be the "less burdensome method."

I see you're still repeating this. It appears that's all you have left.
"Plant your corn early this year."
"Hell, no. No more corn. I refuse to participate in same-sex marriage. Corn becomes pork becomes sausage becomes pizza. Nope. Ain't gonna participate."
I think it's wonderful that somewhere in the vast, cavernous server racks of Google there's now an indelible data point linking you with an inquiry for "Big Gay Pizza Parlor". What will the good parishioners think when news of this gets out? Discriminatory retribution? Good luck pal, you're now marked for life...
Sorry to disappoint you but I'm Agnostic.
Besides, I'm sure that google's electric eye has far more damming records of dooley's seach terms than gay pizza.
Shame that your post was so quickly and easily refuted by actually doing what you claimed was impossible though huh?
Tell me, would you demand that a Muslim restaurant serve you pork at your gay wedding?
Or is your intolerant demand for tolerance reserved only for Christians?

What does the 3rd Condition have to do with the Constitution and the 1st Amendment??????
You're just angry the third condition can't be met.
Yeah, that's it. I'm angry. You're really at a loss here, but I know you won't give up. Somehow, that's commendable, as nonsensical as it is.
