Posting on an atheist forum has no effect on proposed laws.
Sure it does. You just can't tell from inside your christer-bubble.

I'm playing along, as I can't believe you're so deep in your bubble that you don't know of these things.
Are you saying that Christians should only be allowed to practice their religion in private? You do realize that the freedom of conscience and the free exercise of religion is a protected human right subject only to a compelling state interest, which is a very high standard. Or have you stopped believing in human rights? Or maybe you think some human rights are more equal than others.
Or maybe you're just so blind that you can't see the problem. Practicing your religion should not include pushing it on other people, or making them pay for your fantasy. And your rant about human rights is ludicrous. Jump to ridiculous conclusions much?

You claimed the law only favors Christianity.
They do. The authors of the bill in Indiana said as much. A muslim claiming religious freedom is just a potential terrorist in their eyes. The only religious freedom that these christians want is to do whatever they want and say its part of their practice. Of course, all other religions don't count, because they're obviously false.

Conscientious objectors do not have to serve militarily, regardless of faith or lack thereof. Sacramental wine was exempt during prohibition. Obscenity laws are not specific to any religious traditions. Anything he can imagine would apply equally to orthodox Jews. For some reason I think this has to do with wedding cakes.
Yep, thought so. Kinda dumb when someone says the law only favors christianity.
But then again, this is the same person who claims it is scientific fact that a human fetus is a parasite.
I'm talking about the recent plague of laws being enacted.
And all it takes is to look up the definition of parasite to show I'm right.
