We have allowed Conscientious objectors to not go to war but you can be one w/o saying it violates your religion. I guess the thought is that if you don't want to fight, we are better off not having you on the front lines regardless of why you don't want to fight.n
I don't know if genital mutilation is illegal here but along with social reasons, people use religion as a reason for forcing it on their girls. Are you in favor of allowing people to do that here?
The baker can now sue the state and claim it violates their constitutional right.

"I fail to see how making pizza or a cake violates someone's religious beliefs"
hen you haven't given this much thought. These people believe gay marriage is a sin. They believe that their religion dictates that they not participate in, or endorse, sinful activity. Now you know. So now that you know, why isn't their belief protected?
"I guess the thought is that if you don't want to fight, we are better off not having you on the front lines "
Using that logic, and there is logic to it, why the hell does the engaged couple want a baker at their wedding, who does not want to be there?
"Are you in favor of allowing people to do that here?"
The girl ha the right to not get mutilated. The gay couple does not have the right to force anyone to surrender their right to exercise their religion freely.
"The baker can now sue the state and claim it violates their constitutional right."
Not in this case, because the state didn't do anything to the pizzeria owner. It is your fellow world travelers, those who preach tolerance, who forced these people into hiding. How very tolerant...
Paul, you don't agree with their religious objections, neither do I. That doesn't matter. All that matters, is that our constitution guarantees them that right.
I cannot force the Klan to not hold rallies. Similarly, I can't force these people to abandon their religious beliefs. It's not rocket science.
