 > The First Amendment of the Constitution states: > `Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or > prohibiting the free exercise thereof;...' Bakers are free to exercise their religion, just as anyone who operates a public accommodation is free to exercise their religion. Unless that religion tells a barber something like "you are forbidden to cut the hair of someone of a different religion." If the barber wanted to discriminate, or felt that their religion required them to discriminate, they should probably look for a different line of work. > If a Christian photographer doesn't want to violate their religion by > photographing your sodomite wedding, thats their right to not violate their >conciencous relilgious beliefs. "Conscientious objector" status has some relevance to the military, but not to photography. The wedding can happen with or without a photographer. --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Dada-1 * Origin: Prism bbs (1:261/38) |
