What Happens when the State FORCES you do serve someone?
Where will these people then, when the first Catholic Church or Synagogue is shutdown or looses it's tax exempt status because it won't preform a gay wedding?
Freedom of Religion?
Whatever!
Freedom of Speech?
Oh that was gone a LONG time ago.
Who holds the Kansas Ping List?
This Article is so stupid it gave me Colon Cancer >:(
I’ve been called racist a few times right here at FR for saying that any business should be able to refuse to serve whoever they want short of life saving care.
Nobody, insofar as I know.
If somebody does, please pop me a line so I can update my list of state ping-lists keepers.
Orthodox (small "o") religious people who opposed segregation and jim crow laws thought they were critiquing human law with G-d's law. What we now find out is that the civil rights fight has been used to label religious law as reactionary and oppressive and to attribute the end of segregation to the overthrow of religious law by secular law.
There's just one problem: there is no such thing as secular morality, and, ultimately, secular law. Just as Jews need to drop Thomas Jefferson and begin invoking G-d to defend themselves and Israel from anti-Semitism, all religious people need to stop invoking Jefferson and the language of "rights" and "liberty" and remind the world that only Divine Law is objective. All secular law, no matter how rational or utilitarian, is ultimately subjective and arbitrary.
Bring G-d in from the "religion" ghetto. Make G-d public!
