The whole point here is that the government or the courts should NOT interfere with a Christian business owner’s right to refuse business to anyone or any organization based on his or her deeply-held religious convictions!
What I’ve thought about this legislation, all along, is that it’s the “gay issue” that brought it out ... BUT ... it’s not JUST about gays, but preventing Christian business owners from being forced into do several things that they consider to be VIOLATIONS of deeply-held religious convictions!
I posted elsewhere ...

To me, this kind of legislation seems to have a lot more to do with OTHER THINGS, other than gays. It seems that the “gay issue” is driving the discussion, but to me, that “gay issue” seems to be a minor point, as compared to ALL of what legislation guaranteeing “Christian Conscience” in business is about.
Unless I’m mistaken about what this kind of bill means, I see this bill as preserving the “conscience” of a Christian owner of a business from serving or doing business with a person who violates that “religious conscience” by who they are or what they represent or what they stand for. SO, in that sense, it is NOT TARGETED at gays, but all sorts of other things that would violate the “Christian’s conscience”!
A sampling of some other things I can think of, in which one would DENY SERVICE to people, would be a group coming in for Pizza who supports ABORTION! That would really violate a Christian’s conscience.
Or, if a Mormon church group came in and had an “after church Pizza gathering” some Sunday afternoon. I would DENY THEM SERVICE as they are one of the largest CULT GROUPS in America ... and as far as I’m concerned Mormons shouldn’t get service from ANY CHRISTIAN BUSINESS WHATSOEVER, ANYWHERE!!
If Mitt Romney were to come in to that Pizza place he SHOULD BE DENIED SERVICE because of clearly being a Mormon!
I would DENY SERVICE to GLENN BECK, too, for his Mormonism!
SO ... it doesn’t appear to be a “gay issue” but a VERY REAL “Religious Conscience” issue and opens the door to CHRISTIAN BUSINESS to serving Christians and not VIOLATING their religious conscience!
The “Liberal Left” is becoming more fascist each day. According to the Liberal Left, homosexual rights trump any freedom of religion now. So the “New State Religion” is becoming Homosexuality. So where do regular straight heterosexual Christian and Jewish people go to have their religious freedoms now?
The issue is pretty simple. I have very strong belief in the “word of God” and especially Leviticus and God’s directive toward the abomination of homosexual acts and His directives relating there to. I want the state to allow me to practice my beliefs and I want to defend them with RFRA. These people are attacking my freedom of belief. The Arkansas Governor will now be kicked out. The Indiana governor makes me puke.
LGBT MAFIA CONTINUES TO TERRORIZE ELDERLY FEMALE CHRISTIAN FLOWER SHOP OWNER
EDITOR’S NOTE: For Christian florist Barronelle Stutzman, and hundreds of others like her, it is a scary time to be a small business owner if you’re a follower of Jesus Christ. The LGBT Mafia does not want toleration, acceptance or even equality. No. What they want is complete and total dominance to their radical agenda.
In February, I wrote an article about a 70 year-old Christian florist in Washington State named Barronelle Stutzman, who was being sued by a sodomite couple because she had politely turned down their request to furnish flowers for their so-called ‘nuptials.’ Ms. Stutzman had gladly served the homosexual pair, Robert Ingersoll and Curt Freed, for years with no problem at all.
However, when they approached her to arrange the flowers for their “wedding,” she sweetly told them that she couldn’t do that because homosexual marriage goes against what the Bible says and because she is a Christian, she could not be a part of their ceremony. She offered to refer them to another florist, but they declined.

What the queer mafia is doing to this woman is unconscionable. I hope they get what is coming to them. I find it disgusting that a Christian can be abused like this and she is made to look like the bad guy. Sick to death of these bullies and their supporters.
When they use courts to bring suit against the Muslim Butcher who won’t sell pork, then this might be more than Bull S—t of the Left.
Of course a nationwide democrat smear campaign isn’t a nationwide democrat smear campaign until that greasy dwarf George Stephanopolous kicks things off on the charade of his on ABC.
How RFRA Became Controversial:
People the left hates started using it.
