[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By inference, the rest of us are now free to discriminate against people who belong to a religious group that believes their authority is based on a guy coming back to life after being murdered by the Romans.[/quote]

I agree with your anger and I will subtly discriminate against RWNJs but don’t forget race and religion are protected classes under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.  Gay people are not included. IMO they should.  I don’t use contractors who included bible quotes or little fishes in their ads although I’m Christian.  Taking back the title from the nutters.  Religion has no place in government.[/quote]

I don't get it. Contractors aren't the government. [/quote]

You don't get why a liberal Protestant, a Jewish person, a Muslim or an atheist wouldn't want a MAGA in their house doing contracting work, or designing their wedding website? Especially now that they are free to discriminate based ? [/quote]

No, I don't get what that has to do with separation of church and state. A carpenter who uses Christian theming in their advertising is a private citizen, not engaging in government work.

[b]The only way it makes sense is if you believe that these religious plumbers or whatever are somehow benefitting from the decision that personal service providers are free to not provide service to protected classes. There's no clear benefit to them, since they lose money if they choose to exercise their right to discriminate. [/b]

Or if you're saying that you believe that Christian plumbers are of a similar class as supreme court justices, and are therefore a logical target of outrage.

None of this is super logical. [/quote]

Why would this matter? There is also no clear benefit to the web designer. They also lose money and a customer if they choose to exercise their right to discriminate.

Well, I'm not the one talking about boycotting people, you are. Even so, the Christian plumber and web designer can choose to lose money by discriminating. It still doesn't make sense to boycott random Christian tradesmen as a stand against church and state. [/quote]
