I don't know, guy, why did black folks do sit-ins at the lunch counters of businesses in the Jim Crow South. Why did Rosa Park insist on sitting at the front of the bus? How dare she impose herself on unsuspecting strangers!
being black or a different race is not an action nor a choice nor a learned behavior... homosexual activity is
Yes? Because you tried being gay? You made that 'choice?'
I'm gonna have to call bullshit.

I remember how you chastised me about Phil Robertson, and how you said that my support for his views on homosexuality somehow directly injured you and your close friends.
Yeah, I call bullshit too. Have you ever tried to be tolerant of people who oppose homosexuality, or of opposing views in general? You ever make that choice? Nah.
Joe, your argument gets weaker and weaker. If you don't want the government to stick its nose into your bedroom, why are you asking them to condone the practice of homosexuality? Hmm? My faculties are just fine, it's yours I'm concerned about.
Given that my job is irrelevant to this discussion, that also makes your argument irrelevant, Joe. My employment has zero to do with this discussion, and it shows how intellectually bankrupt you are by having to stoop to such a level to argue with me.
And if I want your autobiography about YOUR sordid adventures with employment, I'll ask for it. Which will be never.
Your employment status is not relevant, but you might want to show a bit of reciprocal consideration by not trying to make everyone else's points some sort of hypocrisy issue.
By your logic, a religious person with religious convictions against homosexuality should be able to refuse to pay his taxes,
on the grounds that they go to a government that supports gay rights,
and defend his refusal on 1st amendment grounds. You can't really believe that, can you?

I wasn't talking to you, child.
Would you dare ask this question to a Muslim? Or they somehow untouchable? Is it for fear that unlike us, they will find a reason to hurt you for it? Your question is hypocritical. If a Muslim said he wanted to discriminate against Gays, Christians and Jews, I doubt you would question him in such a manner.
If I reverse the religions in my question, will you stop dodging it?
If you stop dodging, will you answer my OP? Why should I answer your question, given your proclivities to promote Islam over Christianity, giving them greater allowances to practice their faith and discriminate against women and homosexuals? I don't respond to inquiries conducted by hypocrites.

To lie about what I believe as a tactic to dodge debating your own topic with someone you know you'll lose the argument to is pretty feeble.
Didn't you once say you were studying to be a lawyer? How do think your tactic would fly in a courtroom?
It is absolutely absurd to allow the intolerant to set 'the rules' of tolerance. Karl Popper wrote, "unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them."

oooh yes we do ! it has been the RIGHT of business owners for more years than most posters here have been breathing, "WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE TO ANYONE"

I can reserve the right not to pay my taxes too; that won't make it legal.
1) If you truly believed in equality, you would believe in a balance of freedom. There is a two way street to equality. You have every right to your lifestyle, but you cannot force others to endorse it.

The Bill of Rights forces Americans to endorse all sorts of lifestyles. If you disagree, tell us what definition of the word 'endorse' you're using.
I say endorse means to accept as equal under the law and therefore entitled to equal protection, and not subject to be discriminated against.
For example the 2nd amendment enables the legal pursuit of all sorts of 'lifestyles', including hunting, shooting sports, etc. We are required by law to 'endorse' them, whether or not we approve of them.

Can the law require a Christian to do business with a Muslim? Can the Christian businessman refuse to serve Muslims, claiming religious rights?
Or can the Muslim claim the right not to be discriminated against because of his religion?
What are you talking about?
You know what I'm talking about. I'm talking about your claim that a business can discriminate against anyone they want by claiming their religious rights under the 1st Amendment.
What if they want to discriminate against another religion? What happened to the other party's religious rights?
