Sounds like someone needs to agree on metaphors.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Oregon cake bakers who violated public accommodation law in Oregon — the same law that says you can't refuse service to women, you can't refuse to let a Jew into your public country club, and you can't decline to rent a house to black people — by refusing to bake a cake for a gay couple's wedding, are being fined $135K.<\/p>\n

Too much? Too little? Make's no difference — even the presence<\/i> of such a law is a Horrifying Descent into Holocaust-Like Oppression and Persecution to the folk in the Religious Right who love to drum up support (especially monetary) for their cause.<\/p>\n

Is this religious oppression. Only if forcing people who religiously oppose mixing of the races to hire both blacks and whites is religious oppression. Only if requiring a Muslim to rent a hotel room to a Jew is religious oppression. Only if requiring a car dealership to sell cars to women (whom we all know are forbidden by the Deity to drive themselves) is religious oppression.<\/p>\n

And, for that matter, only if a gun dealer is morally (if not criminally) complicit in any crimes committed with a gun he lawfully sells.<\/p>\n

Still think that, just because it's your True and Jesus-Given Christian Belief and we're talking about Naughty, Wicked, Impure Sodomites here that you get a pass on the law? Sorry, special snowflake, you are not that special.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
