Eternal Path International Forum - View Single Post - New 'gay rights' regulations put religious freedom in jeopardy

I'm sure it's a far too broad regulation that is poorly worded.

But I'm not sure about some of your objections. If someone is in a business and they open up to the public, I don't see why they can't just do their job. If it's so important for a Christian not to sell flowers to a gay couple for their wedding, then I don't see why they don't take a job they can be competant at, first of all. If someone is offering housing services that's what they do, do it well. If you can't offer housing services to people of certain religions or expect too much of your customers because of your religion, well there are other businesses you can go into.

I didn't see where any church would be required to marry homosexuals.

There are things I am deeply offended at, that would effect my career choices. I don't see why the world would offer me special favors to accomodate my morality. I've quit jobs because my ethics were higher than my employers, for example.

If you can spell out just how anyone would really be treated unfairly, I will try to understand and be agreeable.
