Indiana's Govenor Signs 'Religious Freedom' Bill

I really can't believe how you can rationalize this to yourself Heywood. "A little bit of baseless discrimination is OK because it won't hurt too much, and there's no way enough people will do it to actually cause a problem."

Well, once one person is seen to easily get away with it, that opens the door for everyone to. Then what? You're just going to insist it's impossible there will ever be a problem? There's certainly enough homophobia going around for it to quickly get out of control. And even one case is one too many. There is a very real possibility someone could end up dead because of it. You only need one place of treatment where everyone is homophobic. Are you willing to gamble lives on that never happening?

I can't believe I'm having to explain why discrimination is a bad thing and not a "Liberty". Think for a minute what it would be like to be on the other side of it.

"Sorry sir, I won't treat your child because I don't like the colour of your hair. It offends my religion."

Religion rotting morality in action.

Hey now, what happened to the "golden rule"? The thing christians often chant as the most amazing thing jesus brought to the world?

Would a christian want to be turned away by someone offering a service, be it pizza or life saving surgery, because of an arbitrary objection that person makes which has no bearing on the service being offered? Would they like that?

Yeah, I bet they would just love it.
