Thomas is not wrong. The more exact equivalent is requiring all Jewish restaurants to serve pork so as not to offend anyone who walks in wanting it. Or requiring a devout Jew to cater a pork BBQ when he only serves BBQ Chicken.

Can the state force you to do an overt act against your religious beliefs? If so, what religious freedom do you have?

This is all about government “discriminating” against religion and allowing the non-religious to use the power of the state against religious belief. It is 100% against what America was founded on, but it is emblematic of the godless, anti-christian state that is modern America.

That simply isn't true. Discrimination laws everywhere aren't about what you serve, they are about who you serve (and refuse to serve). The people who did the sit-in at the Woolworth's lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina, weren't sitting in because they couldn't order the kind of food black people like, it was because they weren't allowed to order at all, on account of not being white.
