So...individually they’re fine but in groups they’re sacrilegious?


No.

If a group shows up to eat, no problem.

If they ask you to host an event, even for only two people, you can refuse to support it.

It’s not about what. It’s about why.

A black restaurant owner may serve lunch to a table of clansmen, but if they want to use his banquet room for a KKK meeting, even if only the same four show up, the first amendment allows him to exercise his free speech and religion by refusing to support the event.

I admit I don't see the difference and it strikes me as a pretty hypocritical. But still I agree that they should have the right to stand by their religious beliefs.

I don't see how that applies because I don't see the religious connection in there.
