Tim Cook: Pro-discrimination ‘religious freedom’ laws are dangerous
Washington Post ^ | March 29, 2015 | Tim Cook

Posted on 03/30/2015 7:13:22 AM PDT by C19fan

There’s something very dangerous happening in states across the country.

A wave of legislation, introduced in more than two dozen states, would allow people to discriminate against their neighbors. Some, such as the bill enacted in Indiana last week that drew a national outcry and one passed in Arkansas, say individuals can cite their personal religious beliefs to refuse service to a customer or resist a state nondiscrimination law.

Hey Timmah:

Put your $$ where your mouth is. Shut down your Apple stores in IN (& any other state with such laws) and refuse to sell or support your products there.

I’m betting that none will repeal it. My bet is the country has not only had a belly full of years of all things liberal but is increasingly willing to resist, if not reverse, the nonsense.

Remember, we just wanted to be left alone - it was they who brought the war to us. Engage.

OK...so Timmy...say I’m a Nazi loving guy and want to place an ad with a swatzika on Google? Or even better... I’m a Christian and want a cross in my ad?

If the pervert owner of a restaurant refuses to serve me because of my "It's Adam & Eve,Not Adam & Steve" t-shirt how does that endanger me?

If Cook, who is homosexual, has such strong feelings against Christians, he should not do business with them. Refuse to sell Apple products in those 20 states. It is obvious what he worships.

The LBGT??? can complain, cry discrimination all they want, but a person of religious conviction is forced to keep their mouths shut and take it on the chin.

I sure hope the laws are not repealed!

If you read it carefully, what the headline actually says is that religious freedom is dangerous. These attacks on these laws are proxies for attacking the 1st amendment.

After reading all of those many threads about that ex-CFO guy living in an RV in Portland — I think I finally found a company where he'd fit in. Sounds like arrogant, Christian-hating, friends of Sodomite ‘marriages’ would be welcome at Tim Cook's company. Yesterday I wrote that I could not see this guy getting hired anywhere, but today I can. He should trample down to IL1 in Cupertino with resume in hand. He'll probably be treated like a rock star.

Liberal starts with “L” so does “Liar”. Coincidence? I think not.

Tim Cook: "I won't eat at Bob's Pizza because Bob is homophobic. That's my choice."
Bob's Pizza: "We won't serve Tim Cook because he's pro-homosexual. That's our choice."

Question: Why does Tim Cook get to choose but Bob doesn't?

Stupidity beyond what can be described. Not allowing people to be harassed out of existence because they don’t feel comfortable participating in a same-sex ‘wedding’ ceremony is “dangerous”.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

“I was never taught, nor do I believe, that religion should be used as an excuse to discriminate.”

But placing ads, etc. AGAINST another religion ARE DISCRIMINATORY.

So, you WERE taught to discriminate.

Liberals do not believe in being a conscientious objector.

The fag is just mad that the laws keep him and his kind from claiming protected status and privileges, one of which is forcing straights to bake a damn cake for his butt buddy’s wedding....
