Moderators OLD fashioned preacher Posted April 27, 2016 Moderators Share Posted April 27, 2016 So then a black owned Mom and Pop bakery can be forced to bake and decorate a cake for an anniversary meeting of the KKK, a Muslim owned Mom and Pop food store can be forced to order pork and a "????Pop and Pop????" owned print shop can be forced to produce flyers for a Westboro Baptist anti-same sex marriage rally? First: I don't see it happening. Second: They shouldn't be required to do so, anymore than the above mentioned Colorado bakery should be restricted. heartstrings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since those things are not politically correct they would receive media outrage aimed at the non-PC people would dare to try such things. At the same time, we could expect activist groups to rise up, protest, threaten riots and bring much fear into the equation. Politicians would be quick to show their support for those downtrodden "minorities" who had been so offended. There would be no thought these people had some constitutional right to expect a business to violate their moral or religious convictions in order to placate them. In the midst of all this none of these would see or admit the double standard and hypocrisy involved in forcing Bible believing Christians to violate their morals and religious convictions while not applying the same standard to everyone else.

Courts ruled (several ears ago) that a senior citizen's discount is allowed but a "ladies night out" discount is not -- one "discrimination" is okay while the other isn't.
