Quite true."...Jesus never admonished businesses to refuse service to 'sinners'. That is a wholly fabricated, aftermarket if you will, belief that some so-called Christians have latched onto out their own biases..."
It is interpretation of sacred texts and historical teachings, and applying them to a modern-day problem; something that is done all the time, in any number of focal areas. This is no exception.
Quite true. But Freedom of Religion is an inviolable right that the Constitution has protected for far, far longer than it has been operative in shielding homosexuals."...Religion is not a magic bullet that can shoot holes in the Constitution."
The beauty and genius of such 'Religious Objection' laws is that sooner or later one of them is bound to hit a high-end judicial nerve in connection with Freedom of Religion.![]()
I suspect that The Opposition will continue to probe along those lines until it hits upon the right formula, and wins-back the playing field.
The 3% cannot dictate to the 97% indefinitely - it's simply unsustainable.
You keep throwing that 97 to 3 number around but there is not 97% opposition to gay rights in this country.
And furthermore, only 1% of the US is Muslim. Does that mean their religious rights are doomed?
