Why should a Christian bookstore be able to discriminate against gay people? Why should they be able to discriminate against a woman who is a single mother? Why should they be able to discriminate against a person who is in an interracial marriage? What is the difference? Should we allow them to discriminate against some lifestyles and not others?
That is completely arbitrary. You could use the shield that "our church doesn't agree with their lifestyle" on just about anything. Hell, if they didn't go to church every week you could say that it went against what the church stood for. Its a standard that could be completely abused.
A business and a church are two completely different things.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
