Exactly! It's like PETA shaming people for wearing fur or wool. Who's easier to shame in PETA's view? Normal women who wear fur products, or intimidating biker clubs that wear leather?

They have the right to refuse service for unruly or abusive people.
They do not have the right to refuse severe because they don't approve of something that is none of their f**king business.

I have not heard of that story but it does not surprise me.

Have you heard of these:
A former Army Sergeant, James Prater is selling a home and puts up a sign which include "terms no foreigners". The Michigan Department of Civil Rights said it violates state and federal laws.
Here is a link: https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/opinion/columnists/judy-putnam/2017/08/04/fair-housing-iraq-war-veteran-mason/539322001/

And in Atlanta a gym owner puts up a sign saying "No f**king cops". The gym owner banned police and military members because they make "minorities" feel uncomfortable. (Nevermind their sacrifice is what keeps his sorry ass safe!) And there is no Department of Civil Rights calling violation!

The "Sweet Cakes by Melissa" case is out of Oregon.
I think there were more than one Muslim truck driver involved with second case. I don't know if they were each awarded that much or if that was the total split between the two.

As for the gym owner and the guy selling his house, I don't think anyone should be forced to enter into a "contract" with anyone else. As in, I give you money and you preform a service or sell me something. That is a business contract.

I also believe that citizens should have the right to be the biggest scumbags they want to be and refuse to enter into contracts for whatever reason, even if the reason is bigoted. That's freedom of association. Freedom of speech and expression says that they can advertise their "scumbagness" with signs that say, "I don't want to serve X people for whatever reason." The only consequences should come from the free market, where people will avoiding doing business with scumbags like that. They should be free from criminal, governmental, and civil liability due to their scumbag ways. That is the state/feds should not interfere with their business nor should other citizens be able to sue them for refusing to freely enter into a contract with them (even if their reasons are that they are bigoted scumbags.) I see the hypocrisy in the two stories you presented. I think both people are scumbags but shouldn't have to serve police or sell their property to whomever. I wouldn't want to sell my property to certain people, but I wouldn't advertise it. I would interview the prospective buyers and deny the ones who didn't meet my qualifications. Putting up that sign was stupid IMO and he should have known better.

The thing about the Muslims in my meme is they had already freely entered into a contract with their employer. They knew what would be expected of them and entered into the contract/job expecting special rights. They should have "conscientiously" avoided that job and found other employment.

You are right. And now that you mention it, it was rather pointless to put up the sign refusing foreigners. Like you said, he could have just refused the ones he didn't want buying it without "advertising it". Unless he was hoping to get others to do like him. He did say that his idea of foreigners is probably different than what others may think. After serving two tours in the Army, I would imagine he has quite another version of "foreigners" than what most people may think. Personally I thought he was probably referring to muslims from places like where he was deployed. And yes, those places produce a lot of people who would love to see America burn. Why some Americans want those guys to move in is beyond my comprehension. Call me bigoted. Call me an islamophobe. Call me whatever name below the sun one can think. Just don't call me someone who doesn't care about my country.

As you said, people should have the right to do what they want in those instances. It is just so ludicrous that people call one a violation and not the other. The story with the muslims, did that happen in the US? It sounds like some of the crazy stuff I have been reading about in Europe, mainly Germany. The amount of pull those refugees have over the German citizen is ridiculous.

Chip and Jo from Fixer Upper did the same exact thing. If it's against your religion then you don't have to do it, unless you're christian or you're refusing something for gays? This is all set up by the left. :-/ just the truth

Please give me the chapter and verse in the bible that prohibits baking cakes for homosexuals. Cause I just can't find that one.

I'm sure it is worse in the UK. They probably would have tarred and feathered the trucking company owners instead of just fining them hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Take offense if you will.
I know that God raises up kings and sets down kings. I know that the heart of the king is in the hand of LORD and He turns it wherever He wills.
I believe in giving the "benefit of the doubt" to other people, especially other Christians. However, to me Trump's profession of faith is not enough for me to believe he is a Christian. The Scriptures are clear that if a person's works don't match their "profession of faith" then they have "dead faith" not saving faith (James 2:19-26.)
Those are the works in their personal life. Trump "praying" with ministers and Christians in the White House or speaking to the March For Life "could be" political maneuvers. Unless he has personally expressed his need for Christ as Savior, which would change his behavior, I can't believe he is a Christian.

I agree with you meme in so much that the Lord would be guiding the hand of any ruler. Trump is not special or unique in that regard. Even all of the evil that Obama did, he did it because God allowed it to happen.

His vow to prioritize Christian refugees, bring back merry Christmas, member of the Presbyterian church, and the fact that he's saving the only country founded on God's name says alot.

But you'll only believe he is a Christian if he shares his personal relationship with Christ out loud specifically, using his words not his actions. Gotcha.
That's like defending Christian bakers against sjw attacks, when they ask for specific quotes about gays and cakes...

I'm thinking about his cursing and the stuff he has said about grabbing women, etc.
I'm don't doubt that there are Christians who are vulgar and behave the way Trump does but they are being disobedient to God's commands. Ephesians 4:29 and 5:4 say that is not the way Christians should communicate. What someone says tells a lot about their character and to me, the way the person says it tells me even more.
That is why I use james3v6 as my username.

Some Islamic people are terrorists, but not ALL of them. It's hilarious how stereotypical you are. It's like saying all Germans are Nazis, which they aren't. Oh, my mistake, I said hilarious, when I meant to say disgusting. Just let people be who they wish to be, let them be who they are. It doesn't matter that they are different than you, because LITERALLY EVERYONE is different than you. There are 7.442 billion other people on this planet that are different than you. 7.442 BILLION. It would take 714.432 BILLION years to count each and every person one by one, and the Sun only has roughly 5 billion years left on it's life, and 8 minutes after that goes, we go. Do you see were I'm going here? If you don't, let me give you the short version: Your wrong, get over it.

Islam is an ideology not a type of person. You and I both can be friendly and accepting of Muslim people without accepting their ideology that teaches hate and violence.

That meme is ironic because the sign they are carrying says "LGBT against Islamophobia" and those people have every right to have a fear of an ideology that would kill them because of their sexuality. They and you both seem to have trouble distinguishing between the people and the ideology.

Those homosexual men being thrown off of that building have been sentenced by the state to be executed. Those men throwing them off the building aren't hiding their faces because they are "terrorists" rather they are state sponsored executioners.

Is it OK to have fear or even hate for a government that murders people for their sexual orientation, what about the ideology that controls that government? The people carrying that sign and you don't seem to understand that there is a difference between individual Muslims and Islamic ideology and countries controlled by that ideology. You are the one accusing me of the thing that you don't understand.
My friend, you are wrong.

I don't see why you oppose gays. Jesus said to love everyone, even thine enemies. You must not have read that part of the bible, if you read it at all.

If you oppose gay marriage and gay rights, then that means you oppose gay people. And it also makes you homophobic. I laughed when I saw this post because of how stupid that comment is. Also, do you not know the meaning of a "Bigot"?

Supporting gay marriage is not anyone's job requirement. And my religion says not to support it.
2 ups, 7y
Your a Christian, right? Okay, just making sure. Say that again into this handy voice recorder so I can play it over and over just to make sure it's what you said. No were in the bible does it say anything on not supporting gays. It only mentions gays. And it IS in there job requirement to serve everyone if they run a, lets say, a PUBLIC CAKE BAKING SHOP. Since your Christian, you should know that Jesus said to love everyone, and to respect everyone.

"you're proving my point!!!"

What point of your's is she proving?

"I just don't understand why liberals say we Christians are "shoving our religion down their throats" for opposing gay marriage, while saying Islam is a peaceful religion despite all the terrorism. Guess they lack logic."

You should watch JaclynGlenn to get the liberal insight on Islam. Secondly, when Christian lawmakers say they oppose gay marriage, they wave the Bible around in the air (totally not trying to appeal blind voters at all) and site it (without context), thus awakening conservative voters' normie minds, as well as appeasing radical lobbyists. Then they get around to putting unconstitutional laws out against gays, calling it "religious freedom", and start victim-blaming the LGBT by saying that they're shoving their gayness down Christians' throats.

Follow the steps on the meme. OR
If you are on a computer follow these steps which are easier:

1. Copy the BBCode information
2. Paste in the comment section of your meme
3. Use your cursor to HIGHLIGHT everything between [img] and [/img]
*that is the link to the .jpeg file online
4. Right click over the highlighted portion and click "copy"
5. Now you can paste the link in the comment section where you want to use your meme/gif as a comment.
*That will post a "clickable link" like so:
