[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 2947361, member: 24302"] If it violates one's conscience to do something, there should be a reasonable accommodation made. Y'all are saying that the only acceptable point of view is your's, and everyone must conform to your belief. In my America people have the right to live as they choose as long as they aren't physically hurting someone. Philosophical disagreements are just that. If Black activists want to blame everything on White cops, that's their right unless they cross the line and physically attack cops. If gays want to parade up and down Main Street acting lasciviously, that's their right as long as they don't cross an established line of what's considered indecent legally. As a Christian it's my duty to not hate them because God loves them and wants them to turn to him. As he does all of us. But it's my duty also to not accept what the Bible teaches is immoral behavior. You may choose to disagree, that's your right as an American. I do not have the right to dominate your view, and you do not have the right to dominate mine. I can only be in charge of my beliefs, and as a Christian I will not yield to yours if I know that the Bible teaches otherwise. So non-believers who zealously pursue forcing others to accept their view alone have a choice to make. They can either make accommodations for other's beliefs, or they can try to destroy that person's finances through the legal system. Which choice do you think will galvanize the Christian community to through voting make certain that their rights are assured? Why do you think Republicans have been successful in winning elections in recent years? It might make you feel good to run a baker or photographer out of business, but if you think there are no repercussions for doing so you are kidding yourselves. Accommodation would make everyone's lives easier, a lesson extremists can't seem to learn. [/QUOTE]
