'Keep Your Religion in the Closet' Says NYT Editorialist

Bruni asks, "Would we be content to let a Muslim store owner who believes that a woman should always cover her hair refuse service to women who do not? Or a Mormon hairdresser who spurns coffee to turn away clients who saunter in with frappuccinos?"

Bad analogies.

No one is forcing the Muslim to uncover her own hair. Nor does she have to endorse uncovered hair in order to wait on the woman in her shop.

No one is forcing the Mormon to drink coffee. Nor does she have to endorse coffee drinking as a requirement of doing the coffee drinker's hair.

The gays came into the bakery and the photographers shops and insisted that they PARTICIPATE in the behavior forbidden to the shop owner.

Keep yer sexual perversions in the closet, pipesmoker.

[ealgeone]

Keep our beliefs private while someone’s are made public. Yeah....that’ll work! sarc!

The NYT agrees with Hitler.

But, not with Christ.

“Do not hide your light under a bushel basket.”

[VRW Conspirator]

While Bruni has kind words for "people of faith," he wants that faith kept in the closet, or in his words, in "our pews, homes, and hearts"—but not outside our pews, homes and hearts.

Should I pray for him to keep wishing?

[Viennacon]

And I’m supposed to care about psychos like this being thrown off buildings by ISIS??

F’ them! Don’t let the ground hit you on the way down, turd puncher.

[GeronL]

Keep your sex life private

BTW- Does the NY Times give this advice to Muzzies?

[stevem]

So says an influential New York Times journalist.

Influential where? The NYT caters to illiterates, so, if not for sites like this, no one would ever read him. I doubt he can influence most of this site's readers.

Haven’t met a queer in years. There aren’t enough them to justify all the attention they get.

[windsorknot]

Meanwhile the homosexual-activist agenda demands that homosexuals come out of the closet.

[2ndDivisionVet]

“Unless you’re Muslim.”

[Texas Eagle]

In other words, "Keep your religion in the closet."

No.

[Bodleian_Girl]

I’m not trying to be a homophobe, but I do not get how a man of what seems to be some intelligence can allow another man to insert a penis into his rectum.

[righttackle44]

I believe that a journalist has the same rights of free speech and religion that I do.

But I believe that he only has them while he's in his closet at home.

[Darksheare]

LOL, tell it to the muzzies and the butt bandits.

[BusterBear]

But the pious photographer who was forced to shoot a gay marriage ceremony would be having his religious sensibilities offended. Now, the NYTimes wouldn’t want to have anyone’s religious sensibilities offended, would they? (Reason they gave for not publishing the CharlieHebdo cartoons.)

[cookcounty]

How about this: I’ll keep my religion in the closet, but first you keep your politics in the closet.

[garjog]

Keep your newspaper where it belongs. In the recycle bin.
