So your willing to discriminate based off of personality type?  And what of a Christian's moral code? Screw religion is your answer?


Code and law are the things which keep people civilized. Modern thought and philosophy do as well, but even less people know about that. If you own a business, the least you can expect from people is to be civilized in the place. If I owned a business that was pretty much what I would consider my code, but again on a sociological level that changes from society to society.

If people do things which cause your business to no longer be a safe environment, then yes, you must ask that they leave. Thats the point of expelling a person for the proper reasons, and not because of their race/creed/religion.

Granted no institution is perfect but Christian values are aligned with many of our laws. You've said religion does nothing but set society back, I think that is unfair , close minded and flat out wrong.  Have there been instances where religions had negative influence or made mistakes ... sure there are, any organization is made up of individuals.  Those individuals are human and prone to short sightedness and making mistakes.


Its actually a fact that religion has held society back, which caused the founding fathers to look back at history and actually be forced to separate church and state. Its because of being closed minded, but actually allows you to practice the religion of your choice without being approached by a non-believer in your religion or even an athiest. The problem with Christianity in general is that assumes position and dominion over the US of A because certain members of the founding members of society practiced Christianity and said somethings. Science progressed because religion backed down and now religion follows science (follow the catholic church). 

"Congress shall make no law respecting and establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

Obviously, the words "separation," "church," or "state" are not found in the First Amendment; furthermore, that phrase appears in no founding document. You've fallen for a common misconception.

You're not even focusing on the fact that the fundamental reasoning of this discriminatory law is actually going to affect people in a state. Thats extremely selfish. 

I haven't read the law myself yet so I am not addressing it here. It seems like some of the posters are using double standards I am just trying to point them out.

Closed minded? Christians make up the majority of the religious people on the planet boasting billions. How were they spread? You take a guess.

I'll guess mostly mission work the same way the word is spread in this day and age. In the past ... there were prime examples of the wrong way to go about it to be certaint. Thruthfully you lost me on this one, not comepletely sure what you are gettgin at.

Am I saying stop Christianity? NO. Be free to believe in it, but do not force your beliefs on a state of people because you might ruin their lives.

It is ok though to force your beleifs on a bussiness owner that they need to serve even those they disagree with, those they think would set a bad example? I'm like others leave them the right to serve who they will and let those practices drag down their business.

This is where a lack of humanity occurs. Humanity moves forward because of proper education and the progress of science (not religion). If you put religion over proper education, you just doomed your countries progress. Tell me have you even seen the debate between Bill Nye and Kenneth Ham?  Nope haven't seen it but I'd be willing to look it up when i have time.

I should probably let you know where I stand.  Like others have said it is not Man's place to judge, I think that is very very true.  No one is perfect, people are individuals I think they should be acceptided warts and all (there are a few exceptions to this in my opinion, murders and rapists come quickly to mind.)
