It seems to be about spoiling the goods of Christians.

Heb 10:34 For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.

“They will move on to the next step which might include human rights tribunals that punish speech and practices critical of homosexuality, including what religious schools and congregations teach about it. And how long will it be until members of the clergy who decline to officiate at homosexual weddings are charged with violating anti-dscrimination laws?”

.....Unless the radical gays want to step into a hornets nest of trouble with the Churches themselves.

And I stand by my statement also.

There is both the REALITY which those of Christian faith hold and the SYMBOLS of Easter, which those who have no faith hold on to.

Have you ever heard of the saying, “timing is everything?” It is in this case.

everyone knows that gay-owned businesses will be allowed to discriminate against Christians with no threat of reprisal by the laws, same with Muslims

How many corporations are threatening boycotts of Indiana today? So.... they cannot refuse to do business?

Got to remember that this is a very important week in the Christian Calendar, called Holy Week, which will end with Easter Sunday. The left is playing around with both faith and emotions.

Excellent observation.

If you can’t discriminate, you’re not free.

The problem the left has with religious freedom starts with the fact that they hate religion unless, like Islam, it’s an ally in the left’s ongoing war against Western civilization.

“This is what liberals think liberty means today.”

My only disagreement with this article is the use of the word “think”.

Liberals/Leftists can’t “think”. They are irrational or insane (or purely evil), as evil as the Marxism they worship. The Leftists hate Truth/God, destroy critical thinking in our children on purpose with Limbic excitement during Latency, to suppress intellectual development (Sex Ed/Global Warming/Evolution/Earth Worship) because they base every assumption on the Big Lie and memorized false “history” which demonizes Truth/God/Wisdom of Ages/Traditions so there can be no transmission of culture to the young (banning Christ/real History from culture). All their perceptions are warped, twisted and false. Critical thinking can never occur-—unless they are purely evil and trying to destroy the USA on purpose.

Many know that these laws which protect sodomizing others will destroy our Constitution and create a “Justice” system which spits on God, spits on Natural Law (Science) and the Natural Rights of a baby (like abortion)-—and that is their purpose—plus to control the emotions of children to make Christians seem “evil” and “bigots” since they have to destroy Christian Ethics in children to collapse the culture (Virtue). Destroying the most rational religion creates irrational children where Good and Evil can’t exist—except in irrational, muslim, pagan, Atheist form: Might makes Right.

All Reason is being ejected from Just Law-—and all these rules and regulations of the last 80 years are based on emotions-—”feelings” and there is no Right Reason in any of their laws whatsoever.

Right Reason and “Justice” (a Virtue) was thrown out with Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. when all evil laws and regulations became “Constitutional” when they are actually antithetical to the Constitution and should be “null and void” as Justice John Marshall stated all “law” which promotes evil, vice, welfare (theft), etc., are.

The freedom of association of human rights. To associate and trade with who we choose. This business has nothing to do with religion. And if we continue to retreat to religious freedom that freedom will not last much longer. People have the right to discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, ethnicity, sex, sexual proclivities, looks,etc. etc. Until somebody starts making that case we can expect freedom to be continually diminished.
If somebody does not want to do business with me for whatever reason is fine with me. Let people sort it out for themselves. Always resorting to “religious freedom” is cowardly and counterproductive. I am a Christian.

When will Christians learn to use the law? One well publicized suit against Muslim Butchers forcing them to sell pork chops should put their “equality demands” in perspective.
