Are all jobs ran by Christians who may would have a conscious reason against hiding an unrepentant sinner?

Kinds of a stretch there.
You seem very hateful. This is why people don't like Christians

Wow, I had no idea that Roughsoul is so influential.

I thought the reason people didn't like the Catholic church was because of pedophile priests.

I thought the reason they didn't like the teleevangelists was because of tax fraud, fornication and hypocrisy.

But you are saying it is because of Roughsoul?

Yes it's hateful people like him who give Christianity a bad name.
Imagine wanting to see someone jobless and homeless just for being gay. I'm totally feeling the love of Jesus here

Anti-discrimination laws are never a step backwards.
Probably just means same thing in america. Employers can't fire someone for being gay, or they can't be denied housing etc

I worked as a Veterinarian's Technician and when I went in for the interview prior to being hired, he had posted a list of qualifications and disqualifications that he required. Mind you that this was not in his office. This was a large sign posted that took up the entire area below the counter so every patient's owner could read it while sitting in the waiting room. The number one disqualification in bold was, "No homosexuals (slang) need apply!"

You only see words. Beliefs can be stern and unwavering but still works based in love.

Some of us choose to live in reality. If someone doesn't want to hire someone who acts like a cat then no one would bat an eye due to the fact that person isn't living in reality and needs mental attention. Same goes for the LGBT community. Reality is based in facts and evidence. Biology, DNA, and anatomy creates how humans are to operate. This is natural law and to go against natural law you go against the natural order. The order set by our creator.

What does that have to do with a human being having the right to work and make a living? Or would you rather see someone starving at home was because they're gay?

Lol there are plenty of secular nonreligious businesses who will hire almost anyone with no conscious reasons. In my opinion many want you to not have a conscious (corruption is where the true hate lies)

Yeah... that's the way to win souls. Tell God that His holy standards need to be adjusted to fit sinful human sensibilities. Ain't happening.

BTW... Christianity flourished in Ancient Rome, where they were burned or torn apart by animals. Not exactly popular back then. And, yet it eventually became the dominant religion. Christianity in China is starting to experience a boom, too. Maybe this is just what we need here: the crazy Left to start persecuting us, with all of their warped justifications. But, then, maybe we would start to experience the spiritual fire we need here.
Judgment always begins in the house of God.

The Godless argument that Christians should never hate is a Red Herring/ Scarecrow method of controlling the debate. That's why the trolls throw us a "love is love" or "hate is not a family value" bumper sticker at us. There are things that Christians should hate and should discriminate about.

The queers attack peaceful Christians for not endorsing them, and talk like they are the ones so loving. Like Alex said, maybe they love boys a little too much. They have a queer definition for love.
This is how the LGPDQHIV crowd shows love.
They scream obscenities at families with young children as they enter their churches and threaten to do things that can't be repeated as they leave. They vandalize Thier churches and use explosives to demonstrate their "love " for Christ and His people. If that's what someone defends, like that socK puppet Scarecrow that was finally banned, good riddance. Anyone who takes the side of queers over Christians needs to find a Queer forum instead of trolling Christian ones IMHO.
That speaks about Scarecrow's moral compass. Maybe that's where he slithered off to.

I follow God because of Him, not because His followers can be good, bad, idiots.

From the first post I read of yours I thought there's someone looking for an excuse to be what he is.
‘I’m with you here.
‘If I factored in the wars in God’s name or the way people act, I would never belive.

If you want companies to be able to refuse to hire gay people does that mean I can start a business and refuse to hire christians? Fair is fair right?

Well I answered his question and I will tell you the same thing anything involving kids is inappropriate but but there was an individual on this thread advocating for employers firing people just for their sexual orientation
All law abiding citizens deserve to work and support themselves
Not true. Please show where he said that. I read his posts and did not see that.

People in Hollywood get black-listed for their Christianity and politics. A few have come out about this. The CEO of Firefox was forced to resign after it was found he supported Prop 8 (one-man / one woman marriage constitutional amendment) in California. This is by no means an exhaustive list.

Happy?

It's hard to get through to people like Dude and Scarecrow, because sin is not sin according to them. So, if you resist assisting a gay wedding, it's not because you don't want to sin against your God, it's because you hate. So childishly simplistic, but it is the way they think. And, it's the way they try to guilt you into surrendering to their tyranny.

So you would force churches to hire gay clergy?

What about non-profit like Samaritan's purse?

What about Hobby Lobby who wants to promote a Christian business? What about Chic Fil A? By the way they still hire gay people but they have to dress a certain way and behave a certain way.

Also there are plenty of organizations that will hire LGBT people while many organizations that also harrass Christians/Conservative beliefs forcing them out. (CNN, old Twitter, Hollywood, Disney, etc)

Good point.
Virtue signaling. Anything that substitutes for true virtue.
