"However, the “terrorism” comparison enters the equation when individuals are forced to, not only participate, but celebrate something that is against their deeply held beliefs."

Just because I don't care what the states allows, does not mean I don not care what the state compels.

And, of course if that's the driving concern, I'm totally on board.

But I suspect that's not the principal motive for many.

I'm Christian, but when I hear Christians talking about using the power of the state to forbid things that harm nobody but the perp, I get very uneasy.

Yeah, I understand the concept of cultural harm, societal harm etc.

But I am not my brothers babysitter and I will not allow him to be mine.

I think God blesses a country that honors Him, and will destroy a country that USED to honor Him. This is a sign how far America has fallen. It also means open persecution of Christians has arrived. Not will arrive, but HAS arrived. Make an open statement critical of homosexuality, and see how quickly you and your business will come under attack.

Like you, I really do care about “what the state compels”.

That is the crux of the issue.
