Re: Is it wise for Christians to link the survival of Christianity to gay discriminat
I'm not talking about some business, except my own personal business that if I see you dying in the street I don't have to do a damn thing.
You may have that right, but you are violating someone else's rights when you discriminate against them and fail to provide them a service at your place of business. In that case the person's rights to not be subjected to such discrimination trumps your rights to insulate yourself in that way. Furthermore, those who refuse to serve people based on their sexual orientation in that name of religion, are doing so under a misguided understanding of religious principles, because they are violating the religious principles of tolerance and mercy. Jesus taught tolerance, mercy, and loving others as you love yourself.
