discriminating against everyone who is not evangelical Christian?
A Kentucky Senate committee has passed a bill that would allow store owners and other providers of services to refuse to serve interracial couples, interracial families, or couples of different faiths. In addition, the bill would prevent the refused couples from seeking redress through the courts.
What is the point of this, the worst-written bill in the history of legislation? To allow persons to refuse service to anyone, at any time, as long as they can say that the persons requesting the services offend their religious beliefs.

Perhaps you ought to call the state legislator that proposed the bill and ask what the intention was.

That is the ultimate end-goal for the Christian right.
The LGBT community is just their current enemy because its something that most evangelicals, regardless of differing theological beliefs, have rallied against. Let the Christian Right get complete power though and the end-game will be a nation run by a state church in which the church's beliefs are law with strict punishment against anybody who doesn't follow them. After the gays, they will go after heterosexuals who they perceive to be living in "immorality", then non-Christians, then Catholics, and then non-evangelical Protestants. There will be no freedom of religion, freedom of speech, etc. The movie V for Vendetta paints a picture that is very close to what the US would look like under Christian Right rule.
Is there actually ANY INTENTION that would be acceptable ??
Perhaps one can "suggest" a few viable intentions that might not be laughable?
You were asking what the point was. That's all I can tell you. I don't know the point of it.
Having said that, I can certainly see how it would be a good thing to protect the First Amendment rights of people. I'm not saying I agree with this bill--I haven't read it in full.

It's weird. I've never heard of any such meeting of the "Christian Right" who supposedly is planning all this devious behavior. I mean...as a "fundamentalist pastor", one would think I'd have gotten invited.
There is NO such thing as a Christian Right. That is an oxymoron.
Anyone who reads the Gospels learns that the Teachings of Jesus Christ are liberal. If a person actually follows His Teachings, then a person who "claims" to be Christian, HAS to be a liberal.
Then again, virtually every conservative HATES the words of Jesus Christ and makes up their own words, claim that they were said by Him and believe that He actually promotes this bigoted behavior by His followers.
A person is either a conservative or he is a Christian. It is IMPOSSIBLE to be both.

The law will be challenged in the Courts, and it will be deemed unconstitutional.
True for many reasons. Imagine trying to deny access to the courts by a legislative body. Preposterous.
