Yeah but your religion is going against the values of this country, by your logic, then mormons shouldn't be prosecuted for been polygamist, or lets allow child sacraficis because some satanic religions accept this. That is totally wrong dude.
What is wrong with Polygamy?
If two women want to marry the same man, and the man is fine with supporting two women... who are you to say that is wrong?
Seems quite bigoted, to me.
If the members of a satanic cult want to sacrifice their own children - why should I object? It's their child - their hereditary future - they are sacrificing. Honestly, I can't really find a down side to that arrangement.
Now, if they abduct someone else's child - that is clearly prohibited. Then we can perform an adult human sacrifice.
If you come into my store, my place of business - I have every right to not do business with you, for any reason I choose.
You do not have the right to come into my place of business and start demanding service at your terms. I mean - you have the right to free speech and to walk in the door - but it would require you to enact force upon me. You would have to call armed men to hold me at gunpoint (threaten to close down my store, to freeze my bank account, etc).
And that is not how we do things in this country.
If someone does not want to do business with you for such petty reasons as being homosexual or of a certain ethnicity - then don't do business with them and let your friends know.
By your logic - communists are not in line with the values of this country and all advocacy of communism should be illegal.
my beliefs aren't preventing someone from doing their shopping because they disagree with me and like i said religion is unproven and to see a law giving religion such power baffles me if a religious person who is against gays shouldn't go into business where they are bound to meet different people
Then perhaps you shouldn't go into shopping where you are bound to run into owners who refuse service to you.
I mean... if you are a person who likes having money, perhaps you shouldn't open a business where people are bound to come through without money. We can't discriminate against economic class, now can we?
Or how about those businesses that tell me I can't have service if I don't come in with shoes and a shirt? There are a lot of perfectly good establishments within walking distance of the swimming pool. I have to get fully dressed to get a candy bar that isn't a 500% mark-up at the pool? Maybe they shouldn't set their business up so close to the pool, then.
And... I know you are a decent photographer, but I -really- want a professional to get some nice shots of my next kid's conception. I'll report you if you refuse to give me service.
