Now the important distinction is that if we back up Christianity a few hundred years they absolutely did things like that. Heck, look what we did to the mormons in Illinois?

So that should give everyone pause to understand that a lot of the core issue isn't the religion itself but rather the political system that it's married too.
Thought the Mormon thing was Missouri with a militia.

Looks like it was both IL and MO

I saw what was there.

Worked in a hospital. Saw and heard white patients saying disgusting things to and about their black roommates. Saw the black roommates being moved, never the white roommates.

You wanna know how I know you didn't bother reading the article?

My dads old enough to remember segregation. If you're going to dig up stories from your past, it would be helpful if you'd give some context as to when it happened.

Yep, that’s exactly the same thing <sarcasm>. One is a legal form of protest while the other is murder justified by Islamic law.

But, certain groups are protected from discrimination, which is different than choosing not to do business with someone due to their views. Yes, all kinds of arguments can be made back and forth on that. I would be interested to see if this goes to court and what the verdict would be.
This was an interesting thread and years later, looks like not thinking out all the consequences has CA reversing course.

Their whole agenda is LGBQ, from your article it said over 500+ bills were introduced to support or were affiliated with LGBQ. Their priorities are out of whack.
