Should a business be able to deny service to a customer if the request conflicts with the owner’s religious beliefs? (accuse, pay)

A business is able to deny you service for any reason or no reason.
They can do it ~ but they better not say why. Of course, they can make up a story and say we don't carry this item anymore, or we are sold out. We'll take your number because we're so backed up now.

more to the point I would never say why, that only invites crazy liberals to attempt to come in and attempt to label you racist and such to create a scene , I ran a business from 07-14, so been there done that we absolutely did refuse to work for some potential customers.

Yeah it's funny that anyone should think that by threatening business owners with violence if they dont serve everyone, that discrimination has been eliminated and prejudices abolished.
When you do business IN THE PUBLIC, in a "civil society" you thereby accept how that civil society works. Going in, knowing full well the law, benefits and consequences of said involvement in commerce.
What does physics have to do with it?
If one in this country, chooses not to participate in our "Civil Society" one should not open a business and expect to be able to discriminate. That just how that is.
I can think of other countries you could go to and get away with it though. Just not in America.
You don't curse in a civil society. Better rev up those morality laws and arrest people saying bad words.

No reasonable person thinks this. No one is being threatened with violence or criminal prosecution.
Not if that business enjoys the benefits of tax benefits provided for said business operations (property upon which the business sits, etc.) when you operate within the public you should not be trying to deny anyone. If you are private entity not doing business within the general public sphere, then you get to choose.
Exactly. Which is what businesses refusing to serve African Americans back in the Jim Crow era didn't get - black citizens had to pay taxes like anyone else in the community that benefited racist business owners yet they couldn't have the opportunity to patronize or make use of their services.
