Hypocrite Liberals imposing their beliefs

Except America has a colorful history where people were refused service. Hence, we have laws that if you own a public business, you cannot refuse service to anyone based on their race, religion, creed, etc. The question is only whether or not LGBT should be a protected class or not.

The question really is about whether or not baking a cake for a wedding is in any way endorsing the wedding at all. If that were the case, a Christian baker shouldn't bake a cake for a pagan wedding, a Hindu wedding, etc. Do they think at all about endorsing the wedding otherwise? Do you think these bakers endorse or tacitly approve of every wedding they have ever baked a cake for? If I were to use a service for my wedding, and we have a religion free ceremony officiated by a Pastafarian minister, are they implicitly approving of my wedding? Should they be able to refuse service to me because I am an atheist?

I have been refused service. I walked into a hole in the wall restaurant in the deepest backwoods of Tennessee on the advice of a friend. To the hillbilly fuck that told me to get out, I looked like a "towel-head," and I wasn't going to blow up his restaurant. No one should EVER have to be kicked out of or refused service based on their race, religion, sexual orientation, etc. If you open up a public business, you don't get to choose who sits at the counter.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
