With what? Bullets and bombs? For what purpose. If World War 3 is coming, I certainly won't take any sides. I think war is ignorant and foolish.
 
I actually have to agree with dcontroversal:

a business that does not take government funding should be allowed to serve whoever it wants to serve without fear of lawsuit.

I couldn't have said it better myself. I think what the florist did was morally wrong, but I feel she was within her rights (or what I feel SHOULD be her rights).

What is funny is the fact that if I walked into a place and they refused me service because I believe in Jesus I would say whatever, walk out and go find another business without filing a lawsuit......at the end of the day it is not about gay rights, but rather a fat payday and the love of $.

Eh, no necessarily. Many people believe businesses shouldn't be allowed to discriminate. I think businesses should be able to serve whomever they want. If you sell flowers and you don't want to sell to gays, that's fine. On the other hand, I'm also okay with florists refusing to sell to churches or people using the flowers to decorate churches.

If someone refused service to me because I'm an atheist, I would be outraged and I would cause as much of a ruckus as I could within legal limits and without getting the government involved. I would do everything I could to let other people know that the company is intolerant - that's all 100% fair and within my rights. But I wouldn't want the government to force them to serve me, unless it was a government funded organization (if you take money from the government, you lose your marketing rights).

Everyone has morals, just different reasons for having them... arguably. Then again, one can argue that morality is fairly inherent whether it be through genes, God, both, neither, gerbils... Regardless, it's there (usually).

too funny..................just too funny........but then I expected you would focus on "morals" and not "atheist." :)
 
I think I'll start suing unchristian lesbians for not having out of wedlock sex with me. :mad:
