Any time a Christian organization or business owner is confronted by a liberal fascist, the Gay Gestapo, they need only say this: my salvation is far more valuable to me than your incessant desire to force me into accepting a deviant and immoral lifestyle.
The truth is most Christian businesses never inquire or care about their customers' personal lives. Yet, some activists are hell bent on politicizing their sexuality and enjoy creating a contentious conflict of interest. If you already know we have irreconcilable views then your only purpose here is to initiate contempt and discord. Do I demand pork chops from a Halal butcher or lecture swingers about the scriptures? Of course not. I support everyone's right to live as they choose, that is the premise of America, but I do not have to agree with homosexuality or violate my faith by catering to it. That is the essence of religious freedom. Unless you enjoy being told what you like or how to think, please kindly return to your high horse and re-educate yourself to the term "sentient" being.
My life is not dependent upon helping the LGBT community feel better about themselves; especially when they show little or no regard for my faith or my family. If you refuse to be tolerant of other views, what exactly are you tolerating? Perhaps you should ask Muslims why gays are killed for merely existing by those Islamic nations your liberal utopia openly embraces. Unless you don't believe the Holocaust was the greatest tragedy in human history, I suggest you return to threatening the lives and livelihoods of Indiana businesses and Christians nationwide to satiate your sense of enlightenment and entitlement. You are the bigot, my friend.
Say it is a “sinful lifestyle choice”.
I can understand why whites are not comfortable walking alone in a black neighborhood.
It has never been a good idea for a white person to go about in a black neighborhood...never...
Aspects of these broad generalizations can help explain the odd worship of “consensus” on the part of people who pride themselves, above all else, on their open-mindedness.
Excellent observation, spot on...
on another note, your tagline; interesting, are you saying ‘Should God massacre me, yet I shall have faith in God’

“1973 when Homosexuality was removed from the DSM as a mental illness.”
Worst decision; that was an early culmination of the sexual revolution.
In businesses providing custom services, I’ve always found the pricing mechanism works well to direct customers to competitors when I didn’t wish to perform a desired service. Require the perspective clients to list in writing all of the services required as well as the names of customers. If the normal market rate for a similar list of services is $5000, quote a price of $50,000 with a 50% non-refundable deposit due on signing and the balance due 10 days before the event. If the balance isn’t paid on time the contract is void and the deposit will not be refunded. In the contract, include a provision that permits you to subcontract the work.
Very few people will pay ten times the market rate for any service. In the event the business person is being set up by an activist for a future court challenge or publicity smear, and has paid the deposits on time, hire a subcontractor to perform the actual work and deliver the product. Give the obscene profit to a charity performing the work of God. If the work is completed per the contracted specifications the customer has no legal standing for a court case against the business, no matter who does the actual work, if the contract permits the work to be subcontracted.
If challenged on the price the owner can state he/she had other activities planned for the date requested and the price reflects the premium for changing the plans. This response is truthful because the owner did not plan to be providing services to a gay wedding.
They key to using the pricing mechanism is not to publish a price list. A published price list can be used by the customer to demand services a the specified price. Simply state something to the effect - “We believe our pricing is competitive but due to the custom nature of many of our services we can only provide price quotes when we fully understand your specifications. Please call for an appointment to come into our store and discuss your needs.”
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant. I had that vague idea, but you have thought it through.
They are trying to redefine what we mean by tolerance. Toleration always meant to me putting up with something we don’t agree with. It was always a grudging willingness to endure something that is disagreeable, not to approve of it or even promote it.
There is no ‘right’ to marry in the constitution. The Constitution is silent on marriage all together. There is even less right to gay marriage.
You and I and everyone knows that the Left enshrines their policies by cloaking them as rights, particularly those that are by no means rights.
The Court system, particularly at the Federal level is completely corrupt and we should be calling them out and forcing changes . We are a Republic, not a judicial oligarchy.
All arguments about constitutionality are irrelevant when un elected judges decide that the Constitution says things it does not.
We are in a state of chaos NOW.
The only way the Left gets away with their nonsense is because the Right, particularly Christian Right is tolerant and law abiding. They are never held to that standard, but demand it from us.
I say NO I do not tolerate it I will not comply with your immoral rulings. I will call it what it is and fight against it by hook or crook, to paraphrase Obama.
