Apple says Mississippi 'religious freedom' bill 'empowers discrimination'
I was merely objecting to your entirely unsubstantiated claim that I seem not to know a thing about the Christian religion. If you had expressed an argument to begin with rather that that claim, perhaps there would be one to be had. Do you want to try again with an actual argument? Substantiate your statement "Turn the other cheek refers exclusively to petty, secular behaviours, not to heresy and sin."? Would you consider adultery sin, as per the adage of throwing the first stone? Where exactly did Jesus tell us to discriminate against others based on their choice of life partner?tallest skil said:
"Seem".
What give you the impression that this proves you right? Do you want to try again with an actual argument? Because it's one of the more fundamental understandings of Jesus' teachings and you don't seem to get it.

You got all that from a one line post? Incredible. I'll have to hunt down my religious education teachers, the vicar I babysat for and my school chaplain and let them know that what they're teaching is incorrect according to someone on the internet.tallest skil said:
No, since you don’t seem to know anything about Christianity.oseame said:
turning the other cheek if you really are a Christian?

You can disagree all you like, you just can't discriminate. Anyway, shouldn't you be leaving the judgement up to god and turning the other cheek if you really are a Christian?leighr said:
I totally agree. I don't understand why lgbt groups feel the need to push their beliefs onto everyone else. No one else can have an opinion, no one else can disagree with lgbt. If you disagree with Lgtb then you're wrong, you're phobic and you're intolerant. LGBT will NOT tolerate other people's beliefs or opinions, it's just totally unacceptable to have your own views. If they're allowed to have their opinion, why aren't I allowed to have mine?roake said:There is a difference between not discriminating and being forced to abandon ones personal beliefs. This latest movement is yet another and an endless series of attempts to marginalize or suppress Christianity.
For example, take a random mom and pop Christian bakery with a gay couple as customers. Most would not have problems selling items to the couple, but when it comes to endorsing or celebrating that gay union (bake a cake by that bakery, with those names on the cake, in the bakers box), then they have the right to draw a line, if not an obligation. Within their religion and most closely-held beliefs, to make that cake is wrong, and places their own souls at jeopardy for not doing what they believe to be right.
Sure, there are tons of other bakeries, but none cares. They want to force the Christians to do something that is against their beliefs.
I'd like to see this tried in muslim communities. When good ol' Butch and Billybob go to there to order a "wedding" cake and stir up some kind of controversy, it ends up with a couple beheadings.
It's very easy to judge people. We always want justice for others but mercy for ourselves. Why do you think that difference exists?
