Quote:Agreed on most points. I just find it hard to swallow the idea of allowing personal religious beliefs to impact the lives of others... I do accept that people have them no matter how much I despise them. For me it's a tricky situation. One I do not see a clear solution to. Like you said, it a balancing issue and not an easy one.

It is tricky. I'm a Christian and go back and forth with this myself. On the one hand, though I don't agree with it, I understand why religious businesses don't want to serve folks whose life they don't agree with, and they shouldn't be told by government how to run their privately owned business. On the other I don't think it's right that folks discriminate because they don't agree with something which makes the government step in and make laws. 

 

I can totally see both sides.
