    Unless it involves the constitutional right of freedom of religion which may trump civil rights laws against discrimination (depending on the circumstances).

    It shouldn't, but I'm sure there have been cases where laws against discrimination are ignored for religious reasons.
    Which, of course, would only further discredit the War on Christianity narrative.

    What shouldn't? Constitutional rights shouldn't outweigh statutory law? They always have. There are many cases in which people have been exempted from secular laws if it violates their religious beliefs if it does no harm---schools requiring a pledge of allegiance, Amish children only attending school to the 8th grade, etc. Those do not involve anti-discrimination based on sexual orientation, but the recent case involving the baker is a good example (although his case was based on another issue).

    Like I said, I agree that these laws are wrong. I say if it's a private business, you should be allowed to discriminate. But this has nothing to do with religion.



    America never had complete freedom of religion. We always limited freedom of religion for certain reasons, such as the examples I gave earlier.
    I’m not completely free to practice my religion lol? What country am I in?

    Requiring kids to say the pledge of allegiance isn't law. And if it is, that's a whole different problem. And Amish kids still need to attend private school or home-schooling if they don't want to go to High School.

    While I don't like the anti-discrimination laws, I don't want religious loopholes in them. If a law is bad, it should be changed, it shouldn't be ignored because the angels said so.

    No country has full religious freedom. And would you want that? Would you want to be captured and sold into slavery by people who say their religion tells them to do this?

    Saying the pledge was (and still is in many places) a law and students were suspended for not saying it and parents were charged with keeping their kids out of school. Amish kids may need to get more schooling but the Supreme Court ruled they are exempted from compulsory attendance laws and they are not required to get education further than the 8th grade.

    The religious loopholes are provided by the 1st Amendment.

    That's absolutely terrible. I don't like throwing around the word Fascist, since it's used way too much, but forcing kids to pledge allegiance to the country is pretty Fascisty. And saying kids are exempt from High School because of religion is just asinine.
    So yeah, not only is Christianity not under attack, but some Christians have rights they shouldn't have.

    Idiotic apples and oranges fallacy. Yelling violent threats at people isn't a tenant of Christianity...and yelling violent threats at people crosses into violating another person's rights, whereas opting out of participating and endorsing in homosexual marriage, for instance, violates no one's rights. Try again, brainiac.

Yes, except for in every sense of the word, the standard Christians are being held to is exactly the "same." What a fucking idiot.

    Muslims...the people you defend as a religion of peace and tolerance, execute homosexuals all over the world, as part of their bloodthirsty death cult's teachings. Funny you should bring up the one group of people that prove everything you are saying to be a lie. And for the record, Muslims aren't forced to violate their religion even when they go out of their way to take jobs that violate their religious views...

    No shit. Which is why it's not legal to force someone to endorse and participate in your lifestyle. Are gay people trying to force you to attend gay weddings or something?

    I'm not part of a religion, so not sure what you're imagining.
