Chris Christie: We shouldn’t let Christian businesses opt out of gay ceremonies
lifesitenews.com ^ | 09/01/2015 | Fr. Mark Hodges

Posted on 09/01/2015 12:31:59 PM PDT by massmike

In a televised interview with Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday," Christie said that while churches should be free as far as their "religious activity" is concerned, all other entities should not be allowed to freely determine their participation in homosexual "weddings."

When Wallace asked the presidential hopeful if businesses had the religious freedom to decide whether or not to participate in gay "weddings," Christie replied, "Religious institutions should be able to decide how they conduct their religious activity. The rest of the folks in the United States need to follow the law."

Christie characterized Christians who seek to live their faith in the business world as discriminatory. "Businesses should not be allowed to discriminate, no."

In the past, Christie has also said that Christian clerks must violate their faith and issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. He also signed a bill making it illegal for counselors and therapists to help gender-confused minors come out of the gay lifestyle.

Cross Christie off your list. He already has done too much damage as NJ Governor.

We shouldn’t let politicians from Democrat states run for president on the Republican ticket.

That right there, see what Chris Christie did? He went and got himself a shovel, then scooped up all the dog poop in NJ and piled it into a mound and then jumped in it.

I want an Islamic owned bakery to bake me a bacon cake, shaped like a pig. I want it baked in new jersey, and I demand you make them do it, now.

NJFatBoy has no chance to be President.

Maybe as a Democrat in a D jersey, but definitely not as a Democrat in an R jersey.

B.S.! If you want to cater to the gays, go ahead, if I choose not to, I don’t do it!!!

This is still America, and I still have rights, and I don’t care if something is the ‘law of the land’, if I don’t feel right about it, I don’t do it!!!

Get over this P.C.B.S.!!!

Well Fatbastard, that is NOT what the First Amendment to the Constitution says.

Claiming that the freedom to exercise religion is tied to membership in a religious “institution” is exactly the same, and just as lame, as claiming the right to keep and bear arms is tied to membership in a militia.

Screw him... all bakeries should deny Chris Christie service based on the fact he clearly has a problem.

Of course! Why didn't I see it before? The 1st Amendment acknowledges the right of free exercise of religion to churches only and not the people. I can't believe I missed that!
