So you love evil and hate good.
We are instructed to hate evil and love righteousness.
Psalm 97:10.
Let those who love the Lord hate evil, for he guards the lives of his faithful ones and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
Proverbs 8:13.
To fear the Lord is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.
Amos 5:15.
Hate evil, love good; maintain justice in the courts. Perhaps the Lord God Almighty will have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.
Micah 3:2.
you who hate good and love evil; who tear the skin from my people and the flesh from their bones;
John 3:20.
Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.
John 7:7.
The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that its works are evil.
Romans 12:9.
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.
The founding Fathers rightfully guaranteed by force my right to rebuke faggots and their supporters like you.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

it would be a great harm to ME if I had to photograph a gay wedding. That is an infringement on MY freedom.. freedom of association, and of religion.
Uh huh. I see. So don't do it.

they do neither. NO one is being the denied to worship as they see fit and no one is silenced. At the same time no one gets to discriminate against a minority
Its sad you think that treating others they way you would want to be treated is antichristian

I don't know of any logical / legal reason to oppose these, that is why I asked you why you do. I've asked you that before and then like now you avoid answering.

An interesting side note is what happened to the Oklahoma "religious freedom" law. State representative Emily Virgin added an amendment to that states proposed law stating: "Businesses or companies not wanting to participate" in a business exchange based on the sexual orientation, gender identity or race of either party shall post notice of such refusal in a manner clearly visible to the public in all places of business, including websites."
The bill died a fast death immediately after.

Nothing wrong with that.

Got it. I do, for reasons of faith and morality.
BTW, so does my pastor. So lets say that an adult biological brother and sister approach an orthodox Rabbi and ask him to perform their marriage ceremony.
He politely declines on the grounds that such a union is an affront to his faith.
Is that Rabbi a bigot?
If justice is served, should he face civil punishment for acting on his convictions?

If you are going to discriminate be upfront about it

neither of these are a logical or a legal reason
What nonsense. No one is obliged to perform a wedding ceremony.

:doh: You really need to catch up. Yes some certainly are obliged, or at least those are the lawsuits that are passed and being contested. If a couple comes to my church and asks me to marry them, as soon as I allow access to one, the lawsuits are pushing that I then must allow all.
They forget that the free-exercise thereof, is my religious conviction, but they are suing none-the-less.
We've allowed 1% of the population to tell 99% how to live. That is absurd.

Have you been banned from an atheist website?Sounds like you're doing something wrong.
