Do you know what a wedding website is? It has info about hotel blocks and registries. It's not a statement of beliefs. [/quote]

So? She doesn’t believe in gay marriage. I wouldn’t do it either. [/quote]
Gay marriage exists. It’s not something to “believe” in. The issue is that she doesn’t [i]like[/i] it.[/quote]

She believes it's an abomination. Christianity has rules against encouraging or participating in other people's win. [/quote]

It has tons of rules, like no tattoos or shellfish but for some reason some rules are ok to ignore while others aren’t. The belief system is random and illogical.[/quote]
Exactly. She’s just cherry-picking church doctrines to find a pretext for her bigotry.[/quote]

Bigotry isn't illegal in and of itself. [/quote]
What is your point? There was a law that made her conduct illegal here until SCOTUS shut it down by claiming her bigoted feeling supersede the rights of others.[/quote]

No. No one has a “right” to the services of someone else. [/quote]
People have rights under the law to not be discriminated against.[/quote]
That goes for Christians too. If she doesn't want to create a web site with the story of a gay couple, that's fair. There are other choices and this decision shields people from being forced to say and create or design when it goes against their religion. All this temper tantrum is not warranted. [/quote]
Religion is not a get out of jail free card. As plenty of people pointed out, there are countless religious rules and doctrines that people like this woman ignore. If she were truly concerned about violating her beliefs, she’d be refusing to make a website for anyone who marries outside whatever random Protestant sect she happens to be a part of. But that’s not what she sued about. She sued specifically because doesn’t want to serve gay people. And it’s because she doesn’t like them. Everybody knows this. Religion is just an excuse to dress up her personal animosity toward an entire group of people.[/quote]

What Protestant sects have rules like Judaism against interfaith marriage?[/quote]

Southern Baptists and Mormons[/quote]
