no time needed ... The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of a Colorado baker and a court in favor of the muslims where's your argument ?

and once again your comparing 2 separate incidents employer and worker and owner and customer but you love to see everything thru the same lens

That federal statute is not applicable to the Sweet Cakes by Melissa or Kim Davis cases, as they didn’t involve a relationship between an employer and an employee, so neither was related to worker protections under the Civil Rights Act.

"why are you posting BS again please show me where you got that ..."

Just because YOU aren't aware of something, doesn't make it BS. We could fill the Pacific Ocean with things that neither you nor I are aware of.

Here you go. When Obama was president, two Muslim truck drivers were fired for refusing to deliver alcohol. Obama's Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), sued the truck/distributor company, and got a big cash settlement for the truck drivers.

Here is what the lawyer for the EEOC said about the case...

"Everyone has a right to observe his or her religious beliefs, and employers don't get to pick and choose which religions and which religious practices they will accommodate"

Please read that statement carefully. That is a statement made by the Obama administration. How can that same protection possibly not apply to the Christian baker who believes that working for a gay wedding violates his beliefs? Why does the Muslim have religious liberty that the Christian doesn't have? The lawyer used the term "everyone". Are Christians part of that everyone, or not?

I agree 100% with what the EEOC did in this case. Where I disagree with liberals, is that I happen to think that the Bill of Rights applies the same way to Christians, as it does to Muslims.

What do you think?

Very simple the two are not the same no matter how hard you try to suggest that they are.

No two situations are exactly identical. I never said they were.

That's a cop out. Please explain why the Muslim truck drivers are entitled to stay consistent with their religious beliefs while at work, but the Christian baker is not.

You're right, they are different. In one case, the injured party represents a group sympathetic to your side. In the other case, the injured party doesn't. And that's what matters.

The Obama official said that "everyone" is entitled to religious freedom at work. He didn't say "everyone who is Muslim truck driver forced to transport alcholol".

You are coming across as someone unable to admit that his side is ever wrong about anything.

He won’t answer, due to not knowing.

My gut tells me he knows full well, he just can't bring himself to say it out loud.

Trump is a weasel. And I happen to believe the GOP is wrong on gay marriage and the death penalty. I also believe the GOP is hypocritical to attack Obama on the debt, and not say a word about Trump's debt.

See? You cane criticize your own side without dying. Spence, Pete, WDMSO, they can't do it, not once, not ever. Paul can.

This particular issue, is stunning. The EEOC says that "everyone" can cling to their religious beliefs at work, and they sued on behalf of the Muslim truckers, but they don't care about the Christian baker.

"Everyone" means very different things, to different people I guess.
