1.)Don't think you're absolute when it comes to rights, J.
2.)You have no problem infringing on the right to life
3.) don't mind business owners religious rights being infringed if it benefits a group you support more.
1.) I dont but its what should be focused on and strived for at all costs and there are laws and rights to be followed.
2.) false actually i do
3.) not true either it has nothing to do with "Groups" I support more, it has to do with how rights work and my respect for that and people breaking the law. There were not rights infringed on of the business owners.
See if the patrons we black or women, or Christians etc i would support the LAW in that case just like i do now. The law was broken and religion isn't an excuses for that in this case by any means.
What would you have done in those cases? and would it be the same if the discrimination was against blacks, women or Christians? Do you want the law ignored/changed?
Im a Christian and I have a freedom of the religion but my religious rights are confined by the religious realm and where others rights start.
This is why i support and would fight for churches to always be allowed to discriminate which they always will be unless the constitution changes.
But at no time would I support St Anthony hospital denying my friend visitation or medical decisions for his wife because he is jewish or got married by a singing Elvis or magistrate.
At no time would i support Walmart kicking out by neighbors form the store simply because they were black
at no time would i support my uncle kicking people out of his public access garage simply because they were Muslims
and I myself would NEVER be dumb enough to open my own public business and break the law and illegally discriminate based on my own morals or bigoted views.
The rules work for ME just like they do for EVERYONE, in the public realm i must play by public rules.
