        So if a pious American were to stone a disobedient son to death, as proscribed in Deutoronomy, would their right to religious expression trump the son's right to life? Do you get to choose which religious practices are rights, or only to enable anti-LGBT prejudice?

        Not much of a pious Christian if they don’t believe the New Testament superseded the old. But your reply is the very center of the issue. Where do beliefs end/rights start? Arguably, a person is not damaged by being turned away - the business is. Shouldn’t that be their right?

        As a Jew, what constantly gets to me is that so many people equate "religion" in the eyes of American law as Christianity exclusively. If the SCOTUS rules on religious freedom, it applies to all religions, not just yours. Muslims, too. Enjoy that.

        Also government can't and shouldn't regulate free-market. Government shouldn't tell you who to serve and who to not serve.

        Are u kidding? Let’s say this was a Muslim bakery, would u be saying the same thing? Why is it okay for these groups to purposely target Christian bakeries asking them to make obscene cakes. Freedoms only extends to lefties, I see

        A girl at the register asked me to hold a piece of meat to be scanned. She says she can’t touch pork because of her beliefs. I hold it for her never mind it was beef. But I respect her religious values. Why my Christian beliefs are under assault in my own country???

        One persons beliefs are valid for themselves. When they affect society, then rule of law takes over.

        I love how this is framed as "two competing freedoms" like it's not just trying to find an excuse to be a bigot.

        Refusal to do business over moral issues is not bigotry. Is it a dick thing to do? Sure. But it’s not bigotry.

        I mean claiming moral issues is just a convenient excuse for bigotry. It'd be the same if someone claimed to have a moral / religious issue with an interracial marriage.

        Not allowing someone to force you to abide by their beliefs or lifestyle is not bigotry; would you allow Scientologists to force their cultural precepts on you?

        Is buying a cake from a baker morally equivalent as "forcing cultural precepts?"

        Now that’s the question isn’t it? Culturally, it’s no big deal for me to have bacon on my sandwich or to give someone a thumbs up for doing a good job. But that’s me. For some people, marriage isn’t just a state union. Do you have the right to force outside beliefs on them?

        Marriage actually has nothing to do with the case. Service was refused because of customer sexuality.

        Looks delicious. I think gay people should be able to get a cake baked for them. They're human also.
