Both are based on religious beliefs. Both are flouting a law. An individual who refuses to marry a gay couple because of religious belief is shirking their job duties as much as someone who refuses to handle pork. Both should find new jobs.

Redwitch, for obvious reasons we are scared and worried in this country about Muslims who are extremists. Those who behead people and make bombs that maim and kill people running in a Marathon. It is a very charged subject and it gets people all nervous.
What we found on this thread is a Christian who is typical of conservative Christians. We found a Jew who is an atheist who is really hot about issues of separation of church and state. AND other nice people who HATE to be tricked.
Please don't do that anymore Blueash. You were luckily born with high intelligence and you should not use it to trick people.
