If there is such a thing as freedom of religion, then how is it that Christians are being sued and imprisoned for their beliefs? How or who started this attack on Christians?
Well, if you were a "supposed" Christian and decided to kill (murder)
a homosexual, you'd be found guilty of first degree murder and either
get life imprisonment without parole or the death penalty. Does that
seem like a good idea to you? Besides, that was based on Old
Testament laws that the "Hebrews" were given. We're to obey
the laws of the land today. If you murder a homosexual, you'll
suffer the consequences of your action.
Perhaps we should not identify with the articles of a deist Nation and depend upon them.
Our "Constitution" is between Genesis and revelation. And Gods Constitution is solid and guaranteed.
Food for thought my friend.
The law of the land in Israel was the biblical law. law of the land is a phrase used in the Magna Carta. Kill and murder are two different words. I'm not sure, but I think it is against the law to make special laws that respect certain persons.
just like they can't refuse to marry non-christian or interracial couplesOhio Supreme Court's Board of Professional Conduct said judges can't refuse to marry same-sex couples on personal, moral or religious grounds.

20. Homosexual marriages are “unnatural” unions which would lead to other unnatural unions.
21. Homosexual relationships are dangerously unhealthy physically and mentally.
22. Homosexuality is not genetic, that is a lie to excuse the life style.
Many millions of people have died of AIDs because we do not keep the commandment Leviticus 20:13.
HumilityI'm sure there are other things that I am not thinking of at this time.
Shouldn't people expected to do the jobs they're paid to do?Ohio Supreme Court's Board of Professional Conduct said judges can't refuse to marry same-sex couples on personal, moral or religious grounds.
Apparently public employees do not have freedom of religion. It seems that the court can abridge the Constitution.
Shouldn't people expected to do the jobs they're paid to do?
It's not as if they don't have the right to withdraw their labour.
The one that seems to come up time and again is Catholic pharmacists refusing to supply contraceptives or the morning after pill. Did they never consider the requirements of the job they were training for?

I chose a long time to get out of the way, but to try to convince religionists not to run towards the cliff, or at least to get some entertainment for myself out of the spectacle.The world just decided to run off a cliff. Do you lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way?
Isn't amazing how people get themselves elected by having people think they are Christians?

But what has that got to do with religionists getting themselves into employment contracts that specify services they're then not willing to supply?

Christianity being criminalized in USA? What a joke
Perhaps you are on a different planet than we are. Have you not read the paper lately about Christians being sued and jailed?
those poor Christians...all they did was break the law and discriminate against a minority and they then tried to hide their hateful behaviors behind their religion
That's the risk you run in providing a service that is subject to the will of the people or their democratically elected representatives or judicial interpretation of a national constitution.The rules were changed in the middle of the game.
How is anyone being forced to change a religious belief??Gays should not be allowed to change other peoples religious beliefs.
