[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cool, then you are also fine with businesses refusing to serve people of different races[/quote]
And that envolves which religious beliefs exactly? Apples and oranges, stop being an ass.[/quote]

Oh, please. The "religious liberty" argument - the exact one used here - was used to justify slavery, segregation, and anti-miscegenation laws. http://wakeforestlawreview.com/2012/04/a-unique-religious-exemption-from-antidiscrimination-laws-in-the-case-of-gays-putting-the-call-for-exemptions-for-those-who-discriminate-against-married-or-marrying-gays-in-context/[/quote]
Change the channel. Private business should be free to do as they please. It is reasonable to expect gov't institutions to be controlled, not the private enterprise. [/quote]

So, you're saying that yes, private businesses should be allowed to exclude people based on race?[/quote]

Yes, if they can in a court of law make a case that it goes against deeply held religious beliefs AND the customer in question has reasonable access to the same service elsewhere.  Of course I don't know of any case that could be made in this regard, none whatsoever, but the theory holds I suppose.  Besides that, this is truly a straw man that people keep throwing up as race is not a behavior or action and there is no defensible religious argument in that regard.  In terms of ACTUAL situations that occur, that are absolutely fucked up ..... we allow "special men" to slice off part of a week-old baby boys penis off with no anesthesia and then put his mouth on the boys erect penis and suck the blood off.  Because we allow religious liberty in this country.  I may be horrified by it, but I do believe in protecting peoples deeply held beliefs to the extent our government protects them.  I think the 1993 federal act was a good one, as are the individual state laws.  What's better, having the government make you do or not do things that you have deeply held religious beliefs for/against?  The government simply should not have that power except in the most extreme cases.[/quote]
