Re: Do you believe the idea of churches being forced to marry people is likely/ration
So you lose your religious freedom when you own a business? Please show me that in the Constitution.
Because businesses operate under different rules than churches, which has been true even before same sex marriage and gay rights were an issue. There were plenty of places in the past that did not want to serve blacks or interracial couples, but they were forced to do so anyway. Yet in all that time, churches have been able to deny anyone a wedding, black couples, white couples, interracial couples, couples of a certain faith, all because churches especially when it comes to religious ceremonies, are protected from being forced to allow anyone to participate, other entities, even those where the owners are very religious or have based their business around some religious principles are not given such protections.
