Yep! We should get right back in their faces!
Well, to tell you what Ive thought about this legislation, all along, is that its the gay issue that brought it out ... BUT ... its not JUST about gays, but preventing Christian business owners from being forced into do several things that they consider to be VIOLATIONS of deeply-held religious convictions!
I posted elsewhere ...
To me, this kind of legislation seems to have a lot more to do with OTHER THINGS, other than gays. It seems that the gay issue is driving the discussion, but to me, that gay issue seems to be a minor point, as compared to ALL of what legislation guaranteeing Christian Conscience in business is about.
Unless Im mistaken about what this kind of bill means, I see this bill as preserving the conscience of a Christian owner of a business from serving or doing business with a person who violates that religious conscience by who they are or what they represent or what they stand for. SO, in that sense, it is NOT TARGETED at gays, but all sorts of other things that would violate the Christians conscience!
A sampling of some other things I can think of, in which one would DENY SERVICE to people, would be a group coming in for Pizza who supports ABORTION! That would really violate a Christians conscience.
Or, if a Mormon church group came in and had an after church Pizza gathering some Sunday afternoon. I would DENY THEM SERVICE as they are one of the largest CULT GROUPS in America ... and as far as Im concerned Mormons shouldnt get service from ANY CHRISTIAN BUSINESS WHATSOEVER, ANYWHERE!!
If Mitt Romney were to come in to that Pizza place he SHOULD BE DENIED SERVICE because of clearly being a Mormon!
I would DENY SERVICE to GLENN BECK, too, for his Mormonism!
SO ... it doesnt appear to be a gay issue but a VERY REAL Religious Conscience issue and opens the door to CHRISTIAN BUSINESS to serving Christians and not VIOLATING their religious conscience!
You misread it, as do all the lib screamers.
Serving a sinner food is not a violation of any Christian morals - Jesus did it.
Participating in a gay “wedding” does for some. A wedding is a sacred Christian covenant. Gay “weddings” make a mockery of that sacred covenant. Christians should not participate in such mockeries.
Serving food, repairing cars, selling goods - there are very few instances in business where Christian morals are violated by serving a gay customer, or any other customer. But there is an obvious difference between most commerce and participating in a wedding.
