Well here is the HUGE problem with this issue and Bill. If this is held up as Constitutional (it won’t be), what happens when the non-Christians are in charge? What happens if a Muslim doctor doesn’t want to treat a Christian patient who is about to die?
The supporters of this Bill are only looking at it through one lens. There is no way that this Bill doesn’t become an utter disaster for Christians in AZ.
Oh everything is just fine and dandy when your group is in charge ... but what about when they aren’t? (and no, your group isn’t always going to be in charge).
I guess the photogs and bakers could just say; “Sorry. Family vacation that week. We’ll be closed.” And then take a vacation that week. What could the courts do then? A vacation week would be less than the fine.
That doesn’t fix the problem of bully gays, but might protect the particular person/business from loss.
Then a non-Muslim doctor would jump in to treat the Christian patient. Like this situation would ever occur in real life, lol (the only doctor in town is a Muslim). Plus if a doctor let their patient die because he or she didn’t like non-Muslims, it would be a violation of the Hippocratic oath and result in the doctor losing his or her medical license. You can’t seriously be equating that scenario with baking a faggot a wedding cake, can you?
The Constitution was written in English because its authors were native English speakers. Thus, the words in the document are not interpreted by consulting a Spanish - or any other language, of whatever provenance - dictionary. Equally, the Constitution is understood in light of the Declaration of Independence notwithstanding that it is possible, and likely, that there are religions with respect to which the theological implications of the Declaration of Independence are non sequesters. The Constitution mentions the Lordship of Jesus Christ
Done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven and of the Independence of the United States of America the Twelfth.because the authors and ratifiers of the Constitution took Christianity for granted as the default in America. Consequently if there is a balance to be struck between Christianity and Buddhism (or shamanism, or anything else) the tie logically goes to Christians. Until and unless a Constitutional Amendment to the contrary is ratified.
Being able to discriminate for any reason is essential for liberty. The only entity that must not be allowed to discriminate is government. Individuals and private groups and businesses must be able to do so, or government will have the power to run our lives.
Personally, I would much rather be treated by my dogs’ veterinarian than by a Christian-hating Muslim.
I think that's actually the ultimate goal. I think all this gay stuff is st a trojan horse, and the rank-stupid narcissistic gays are jumping around in totalitarian bliss never even once realizing that the Leftists don't give a single damn about any of them. Once the laws are in place, they will then be shifted to Muslim interpretations, and those same gays will find themselves being threatened with death by Muslims who will be legally protected by the same laws the gays used against Christian.
I fell like I'm watching millions of people commit suicide, while dancing around singing that they are eliminating death. It's like a freaking Fellini movie.
