Indiana Pizzeria Owners Say They’d Deny LGBT People Service – And Yelp Commenters Weren’t Having It
Buzzfeed ^ | 4/1/2015 | Mary Ann Georgantopoulos

The owners of a small pizzeria in Indiana were seemingly the first business to say they would publicly deny service to LGBT couples in the wake of Indiana’s new and controversial Religious Freedom Law.

Shortly after Memories Pizza owners agreed in a local newscast that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act allows them to deny service to LGBT people who wanted their pizza at a same-sex wedding, 1-star Yelp reviews rolled in denouncing the business.

Youb are a moron. Dumber than a left wing brick. The owner stated he sells pizza to anybody but will not participate in homosexual marriage by catering it with pizza. That is his conscience telling him to do so would violate his religious beliefs. Your conscience does not matter. Whether you like his religion or not does not matter. The least restrictive means of resolving this is for the homosexual couple to go to your crappy pizza place.

RE :”like I said- it would behoove you to educate yourself to keep you ‘arguments’ from looking silly- but obviously you don’t care to, so- whatever- have a nice day”

I am just posting scripture to you. I see that makes you angry.

By now even you realize that Jesus actually spoke when he was here on Earth, and you yet cant find the quotes from him in the Bible that you claimed he said, about hating sinners.

You keep going back to Jehovah quotes from the Torah when the Jews were sacrificing animals at the Judaism temple in Jerusalem .

“You can wonder all you want. It doesn’t matter. In America religious freedom does not depend on what you think about the religion.”

Was there an answer in there somewhere?
I asked a real question.

The pizza place said they’ll serve a gay person who comes in their store but not cater a gay wedding.

So will they let a group of gays have a birthday party there.
Would they make the pizzas for a gay wedding if the couple agreed to pick the pizzas up.

It is better to be thought a moron than to confirm it for all to see. Ask the pizza man shmuck. If you want to know what situation RFRA could be used as an affirmative defense, read the law. Hint: There is no subsntial burden for a pizza place to serve pizza for a birthday party. I think you would do better at HuffPost, the intellect level there is right up your alley.

Kenosis means for divinity to voluntarily give up some of the divine privileges.

It’s quite fitting to the Jesus Christ story. This is why Jesus was credibly able to call Himself humble.

Yelp is useless. Most all websites that let anonymous posters give reviews are useless.

Most of posted by competitors, disgruntled employees, morons, etc.

If someone who is visibly drunk comes into my business and berates and cusses my customers will be removed. If he’s black am I racist? If he’s gay also am I a homophobe?

Business can deny service to anyone. They’ll probably go out of business if they do it for stupid reasons so let them.

Is “No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service” mean I discriminate against filthy hippies?

Why would the pizza parlor want to serve them as individuals but not as married?

Please re-read my post to you, then do the same with your response, and then please inform me as to how the former begat the latter...but I’ll attempt to explain; the pizza guys will happily, and intelligently, serve either individual gays or married gays, either in the shop or by delivery, provided the gays keep silent about their sexual proclivities...if their gaiety is made a point, it changes the dynamic of the sale and makes it subject to denial...

Is homosexuality made any more of a sin by wrapping some sort of marriage ceremony around it?

...were you speaking to me or someone else with that post...it bears no relationship whatsoever to anything I’ve said to you...

[[I am just posting scripture to you. I see that makes you angry.]]

Nope- not angry- I’m just not going to put up with nonsense-
I pointed you In the right direction- but it’s obvious you don’t care to educate yourself on the matter- and you’re going to do nothing but ignore the evidence and keep parroting the same nonsense over and over- so yeah, whatever- If you’re not going to educate yourself on the issue- then there’s no sense trying to explain anything any further with you- the old saying lead a horse to water is pretty apropos here- have a nice day

[[Kenosis means for divinity to voluntarily give up some of the divine privileges.]]

Yeah but it appears, at least from the video I watched on it, that He gave up all of His divinity before He was baptized? Maybe the vid was by someone that hasn’t correctly interpreted God’s word- like I said, I’ll need to study the issue further- it’s an interesting concept I haven’t heard of before- but my gut feeling for now is that He couldn’t have given up divinity because of the fact that He was sinless all His life, even before being baptized- but admittedly I haven’t fleshed the concept out yet-

I wont condemn you just because you prefer the Jewish Torah teachings over the Christian Bible’s Christ teachings as I am not antisemitic, even though I defer to the latter.,

And I occasionally eat pork,
