"-- is the evangelical Christian who believes that Jews are inherently and absoltely evil because they killed Christ and who believes that any contact with Jews will taint his soul permitted to refuse to serve jews? Your answer, and your basis for it, please.

I did not know that this had previously been a serious question. I do not support any kind of illegal harmful discrimination. You did not define the service but if it is something like a Christian book store then I would require the proprietor to sell books to who ever wants to buy. If it is something like being a pastor then I would not require the priest to provide pass over services to the only jewish family in town when they complained that they are being excluded because no rabbi lived near-by.

Likewise...If mojo is selling oils and such out of his store front I would expect him to sell to anyone who saw them as useful. True a woman could come into the store and seeing that he is a handsome and charming man, become aroused sexually. A retail sale is not intimitely entangled by its nature in the sensuality of one's person. You have made a blanket statement that women have a right to be included in mojo's services but you have not drawn a limit on that right. Mojo has, and I do not see it as rising to the level of discrimination that you have labeled it (bigotry). In fact using such high powered words that connote every kind of hate and cruelty and associating them with the worst circumstances and events in human history reveals something else about the basis of your complaint...I've covered that already.
