Hate Crimes for Christians

You've heard the one about the frog and the pot of slowly heating water. Well I think the temperature is being turned up a little.

The question, "Does a Christian business person have the right to deny serving a customer when that customer violates the principle by which the Christian orders their life?"

Some other questions that occur to me.

"Does the "couple" in question have the right to break the Law governing the States by use of semantics?"

"If the Christian lied and said they had a "scheduling conflict" what would have been the implications of their faith and their business?"

"Were Biblical convictions used to overturn discrimination half a century ago?"

"How do those same Biblical convictions apply to this kind of "discrimination"?"

"Does a Muslim Photographer have the right to deny homosexuals their photographic services?"

"Why didn't Miss Willock choose a Muslim Photographer?"

As a pastor I watch this sort of thing a bit more closely because I fully anticipate that one day soon clergy will be brought into this same arena, actually they already are, but that's another post. And the Law of this land changes like the wind but the Law of the Lord has remained for centuries and He is my judge. I need to love Him with my whole heart, mind and strength. It will take all of that to stand firm as a Pastor, photographer, you fill in the blank.
