Let's clear a few things up about the Indiana Religious Freedom Law

Isn't it amazing that not one of the RWnuts on this forum can tell us ONE thing this bill does, materially in support of religious people,

once the anti-gay part is taken off the table.

How about repealing the law altogether? If it serves no purpose that anyone can identify (except the right to discriminate part)

what is the need for the bill?

Someone please tell us specifically what the need for the bill is.

Give us a hypothetical situation. A hypothetical legal case.

...and quit saying you've already done that...

Why should we submit to giving you a hypothetical case in regards to your hypothetical argument ... Neither actually exist?

.

Because laws are normally passed to deal with situations that have not yet occurred.

You cannot cite a single situation that might occur in the future that this law would be applied to.

Why then do you support the law?
 
Yep and the RWs want more and more laws, bigger and bigger government and the more invasive, the better.
Um, who is pushing for policies that force bakers to bake cakes for clients they dont want? You don tthink this stuff out, do you?


Not me.

I just think laws should apply equally across the board.

No special dispensation for fundie phobes.
Because you dont respect religion. We get it.
So you support throwing American Indians in jail for using peyote, right?

I'm a religious person. I'm not a Christian. I do not believe religion should be used a basis for hate, discrimination and/or bigotry.

Okay, so where do the rights of the religious come in? Are there any rights at all?
they never left ,like all rights they end where they infringe on others rights.
 
You've already been told a hundred times. Apparently you still can't read.

No, I haven't.

Tell me then. Does this law allow a Catholic hospital to refuse to treat homosexuals? Does this law allow a Catholic hospital to refuse to hire homosexuals?

Can that hospital use a religious argument under this law to justify the above?
This law has NOTHING TO DO WITH WHETHER OR NOT CATHOLIC HOSPITALS MAY OR MAY NOT REFUSE TO TREAT HOMOSEXUALS.

This law has NOTHING TO DO WITH WHETHER OR NOT CATHOLIC HOSPITALS MAY OR MAY NOT REFUSE TO HIRE HOMOSEXUALS.

Those issues are covered by public access laws. This law has NOTHING TO DO WITH PUBLIC ACCESS LAWS.

Anyone can try to use any argument to try to get away with breaking the law. But that does not mean the courts will hear said argument. Your question is the equivalent of asking whether the first amendment can be used as a defense for breaking the law. It is a ridiculous question, formed as a false meme directed to ask the person answering the question whether or not he stopped beating his wife, or in this case stopped gay bashing. Yes or no does the first amendment allow you to discriminate against gays?
If it has nothing to do with public access laws, what does it have to do with?

...and quit saying you've already done that...

What other than discrimination would it provide protection for?
Why would a business owner need religious protections from a patron or employee?

The governor is now claiming it doesn't provide protection for ANY discrimination. He is lying of course.

Again, the supporters of the bill know exactly what it was intended to do:

Nor should the secular law be used to hate, discriminate against, and be bigoted towards religious people.

Nor should the secular law be used to hate, discriminate against, and be bigoted towards gays, Blacks, Jews, women, etc ...

Wouldn't you agree?



Riddle me this: does the desire to be Tolerated justify forcing others to do things against their will? And by do things, I mean engage in what are normally voluntary, law-abiding activities.

And further Riddle me this: where do one person's rights stop and another's begin?
You'll make their heads explode.
far too late in your case..

Right Wign Watch? Seriously? That's supposed to mean something?
The exact same law exists in 25 states and the federal gov't. Please show me all the "No Gays Allowed" signs in those states. Go ahead.
 
Then what does the law do? What is its purpose?

Be specific and give specific examples.

Anyone can try to use any argument to try to get away with breaking the law. But that does not mean the courts will hear said argument. Your question is the equivalent of asking whether the first amendment can be used as a defense for breaking the law.

The Indiana law makes it an affirmative defense to use your religious beliefs against someone accusing you of discrimination. That would include both of the above.
Make up your mind, ya fool, are you asking about first amendment protections or civil right public access protections? The word "discrimination" is a broad term. For example, I reserve the right to discriminate what channel I want to watch. Does that make me an evil gay basher?

If you deny a black person a job and claim it's because your religion is against the mixing of the races,

whose rights get upheld?
 
No, I haven't.

Why then do you support the law?

My support of the law or lack thereof is irrelevant to whether or not it favorably changes the situation to address concerns you have that are not expressed in the text of the law.

If you would like to see "sexual orientation" addressed as an anti-discrimination protected class in Indiana ... Your assaults and bickering regarding this law won't get you any closer. That is difference in doing something worthwhile ... And being a tool used by politicians who want to progress division politics. If you feel the need to volunteer as part of the tool group ... Then I see no reason to object.

it will all be moot very soon as the governor of Indiana says they( the legislator) will amend the law to state unequivocally "no one can be refused service."

Sure it did. It singled out one group of people and denied them a legal right under the law that was otherwise available to everyone else.

The difference was that the employer was given the privilege of committing that discriminatory act because he claimed his religion wanted him to.

The question had nothing to do with gays. The question is about religious freedom. Can it be limited when it tries to infringe on the rights of others?

The answer is yes it can.

With that established as fact, all that's left is to decide where and when that infringement goes too far.

The Mormons lost A LOT of religious freedom when polygamy was outlawed.

Why don't you constitutionalist conservatives object to that?
