RE: Does the landlord have the right to say no to certain religions?

When it comes to a person’s private property, I would say he has the right to refuse business with any religion, race or gender or orientation NO MATTER HOW REPUGNANT I FIND HIM TO BE.

I will of course personally refuse to have to do anything with him (I could even publicly cal him to task and inform others what an abhorrent, disgusting person he is). He has to live with the consequences of his decision.

But I sure as hell will not want government to FORCE him to be kind to others. Using one form of evil (THE USE OF FORCE) to enforce kindness is not the way to change a person’s mind.

Heck, even Jesus Christ the creator of the universe, does not force others to receive Him as Lord and Savior.

But that is the essence of freedom... even the freedom to be cruel, racist and unkind.
