Can you get gay detectors built into to the doorway then? And security simply removes god's insult to himself from the building.

What if you're bi? No extra toppings allowed?

What a bunch of absolute fucking bull shit. Just one of the reasons religion has to be smacked down; people hiding bigotry behind religious righteousness.

Good Lord. What a bunch of intolerant and anti-theist bigots you all are. So the course of action here is to bully and persecute those with whom you have disagreements with until they're forced to bend to your rules. No room for compromise when it comes to the leftist narrative.

Welcome to the block list.

Excellent. I hope I'm at the top of your list.

The irony.

You know, there is this neat little thing called "freedom from discrimination"... you wouldn't happen to know where it is written or what it is, would you?

And before you say it, no, the federal law being incompatible with your religion's doctrine is not discrimination.

And what compromise do you suggest? "We only serve gays every two weeks"?

I don't know if what they are doing is actually illegal, but it sure is a terrible business decision.

Sad to see some people think that bigotry itself is something that should be protected from "persecution".

"Stop oppressing my right to oppress others!"

The bad part is that it is legal now, because of the "religious freedom" bill. So now the persecutors are protected from persecution. It's freedom from alleged discrimination that takes form in actual discrimination.

It would be nice if we had just one theist come into this topic and stand against discrimination. Apologies if I missed one.

Understand this before you start calling people a bunch of "intolerant and anti-theist bigots":

1. You are on an ATHEIST forum.
2. You are in the minority on an ATHEIST forum.
3. You are a "christian", on an ATHEIST forum.
4. The "christian" shop owners are not a part of this forum.
5. They are not here to defend THEIR bigoted comments or answer to why they felt it necessary to publicly speak out about that.
6. They are not here to answer to the fact that because of THEIR bigoted views, they have harmed their employees' families, some of whom        may or may not depend on those jobs to keep food in mouths, roofs over heads etc.

Please outline the specifics of these "rules" you claim belong to the posters in this thread, that are being bent.
Who owns those rules?
Who made them up?
Who is being forced to bend to who's rules here, in the confines of this forum?

Because it certainly isn't a bunch of homophobic pizza shop owners. Their decision to close their store was not made because of any comments here. It was made because of the shitstorm and backlash caused by their own comments about gay people. They caused this. Not the other way around. People responded to them because they were being discriminatory.

As far as persecution, who exactly is being persecuted here on these forums? Because it sure as heck isn't the "christian" people who own that restaurant who are getting their just desserts for THEIR publicly stated bigoted views. Not a single post here can be considered persecuting or even bullying against those owners (see #4 above).

This is a DISCUSSION FORUM. We are discussing this and sharing our opinions of the ignorance and hatred that has been publicly displayed by those shop owners. If you find our views don't align with yours, then debate that, but by all means, realize where you are when you do that and realize that it is highly unlikely that those shop owners are going to ever come in here and read this thread. People can't be bullied and persecuted if they are not present to the "bullying" or "persecution", of a few comments on here. No one on these forums have threatened, stalked, harassed or done anything within the confines of this forum that would even point to what you are accusing us of doing here. Also, note that in several of the replies, there has been something called SARCASM being used. If you can't understand any of what I just wrote, then you need to go get some help for your issues.

So in your book it's the definition of tolerance to be tolerant of intolerance.

First, it's a fundamentally stupid argument and secondly, it cuts both ways, buddy. The ones not handing out their crappy pizzas to gays are fitting your own definition of bigots perfectly. Mine too by the way.
