Now with the Colorado ruling saying that religion can override public accommodation laws

How long will it be before some business refuses service to black people because they say it's against the owner's religion?

How long before an employer gets to refuse to hire a woman because the business owner's religious belief is that a woman should be at home serving her husband and raising children?

And how many other laws will get to be ignored on the basis of a religious claim?
Right now, the TRUMPCourt is restricting its accepting religious intolerance only towards homosexuals.

But you are correct.
Their decisions have been open ended and there is nothing preventing someone claiming to be religious to refuse service to mixed race couples, adulterers, those of different faiths, atheists
 
If a restaurant sells meals ... they are required to serve anyone who pays.

They are not required to provide anything which is not on the menu.

So if a graphic designer puts wedding websites on their menu......why is that different?

So, wedding cakes were not on the menu at the bakery? Websites were not on the menu at the Web designer's shop?

The customer's were always able to buy cakes and web design. That was never contested.

They are not able to demand of the baker or web designer they include decoration or content that offends the baker or web designer.

Exactly. Facebook has the exact same perogative.
 
No buts, according to SCOTUS, I decide that.
Yeah... well you don't.
So there is that.
Go ahead and do that, and see how it works out for you.
Of course, if you are in a liberal city - you will have no problem violating a persons civil rights that you don't like.

So, a black person demanding to eat white people's food could be offending to the wait staff, and thus they should be able to decline service...correct

Being black isn't the same as being a homo, SD.

Homosexuality is something the people DO, not something they are.

Huge difference.

A black dry cleaner can refuse to clean and press some Triple K guys sheets, because unlike being a Honky, being a member of the Trip K's is voluntary. Similarly, taking it in the caboose and violating other men's buttholes is a voluntary activity as well that many object to.

Tere is arrogance and ignorance in all people. Anyone working in a restaurant as a server knows who does not tip and plays games. It is just percentages. From religious to racial compensation.

So are you saying that religious beliefs based on what people are don't have the same level of constitutional protection as religious beliefs about what people do?

So if a GRAPHIC DESIGNER designs a website (content is not the same as design) then they can be obligated to sell to any and all customers, right? As long as the graphic designer isn't obligated to provide CONTENT, right?

I don't get your point here, SD.

Are you suggesting that taking another man's butt cheeks is a "religious" act?

I don't see it.

The law is very specific about content. That's why places like Facebook try to disavow any responsibility for it.
