WN: Arizona bill letting businesses deny service for religious reason

[Guest shiloh357]

Where does the line get drawn? Can a travel agent opt out of booking a honeymoon get away? Can a hotel opt out of renting the bridal suite? Can a real estate agent opt out of showing houses to a gay couple? Or is it just the wedding and once they are married it does not matter anymore?

If a Christian business owner is confronted with any aspect of a same sex relationship and is asked to accomodate that relationship (wedding, honeymoon, whatever), if they feel it violates their Christian beliefs, they should not be forced to accomodate the request. 

 

The same sex couple is free to go down the street and find another business that will accomodate them.

I have Christ, but thank you for your judgement none the less. Amazing how many people give themselves the power of salvation.

Christians defend bibllical marriage and do not support the homosexual lifestyle.   The Bible says that God hates that lifestyle and calls it an abomination.   Christians support what the Bible says.

Takes note of your status as a seeker and not as a believer.

To add to Shilohs reply, a Christian business owner is not saying you cant marry a same sex person. The business owner is merely saying I choose not to participate in helping you prepare for your wedding.

The status is assigned by a human, not God.

Thank you for your answers. Why should such a opt out policy be limited to Christians. What if an atheist disagrees with gay marriage and does not want to bake them a cake

IMHO:

It makes little difference what laws are passed by legislatures.  We have a supreme oligarchy that makes the laws now. And we have an exec that decides which laws to ignore & what exec orders to make regardless of any legislature.

 

If AZ passes the law, watch that it doesn't take 3 days for a Fed judge (or state) to declare it void.

I wish we were God's people, but I don't see that we have a covenant with God like Israel did.  The USA is not Israel.  So I don't think that if Christians in the USA humbled themselves & prayed it would necessarily lead to God healing our land.  But who knows?  I don't think we have really tried it, and I think we have disregarded scripture telling us to pray for authorities in govt.  Cud the SCOTUS have passes all its evil laws if Chrs had prayed a lot for the SCOTUS?  And do we pray for Ob.?

If that is their religious belief, then Im ok with that too. 

 

If the atheist doesnt want to make a cake celebrating a Christian wedding, that is his/her choice too.
