The reason why I said that about Romney is that it’s someone “I KNOW ABSOLUTELY” is spreading EVIL, because I know the doctrines he adheres to.
Now, with the “average Joe” ... I would have no idea, so I can’t just guess by looking at them. But with those examples I gave, the “key item” was the “KNOWING” of what they represented. Once it is known, then it doesn’t matter whether they come to you or you go to them. It’s just as much of a VIOLATION of that Christian’s deeply-held beliefs (or, at least, if “he says so”).
If that same abortion group came in to the pizza place, you wouldn’t know exactly what they represented. BUT, if someone called and said, “we want to reserve a section of your Pizza Parlor for a meeting of “Citizens for Abortion” ... then you would “know” and it would be the same as if you went to their place!
It’s “in the knowing” and not in regards to you going there or them coming to you.
I would be absolutely delighted to have the opportunity to host the local queer club at my shop. They would learn about the miracles of creation and the absolute perfection of male and female relationships in the animal kingdom. If they came to mock and destroy they would be removed from the presence by the local police.
I have a large group of patrons who are obviously queer. Some are my best customers. I am in no way offended by their presence nor am I under any obligation to cater to their sexual preferences.
Were these perverts to ask me to provide a homosexual theme I would very simply would admit that it would be impossible. I am not queer and do not understand the sentiments involved.
And, yes, I would be thrilled to have Glenn Beck or Mitt Romney as customers. they could learn a thing or two.
