>> Should people of faith have more rights than everyone else? The rights of "people of faith" must be absolute to insure against theocracy.

Religious freedom is a right protected by the First Amendment. So yes, people of faith have rights. Every 8th grade civics student knows that.

CJ, And we don't allow them to discriminate in the public sphere. The problem is that you are discriminating against those who have religious beliefs. Anyway, the pizzeria wasn't discriminating against anyone. They'll serve everyone regardless of sexual orientation. They just said they won't cater a gay wedding, but that was an answer to a trick question because no one asks a pizzeria to cater a wedding. Mission accomplished, here come those discriminating against religion, writing false negative reviews, threatening to burn down the business, and being bullies. Obviously those people have more rights than the owners of the pizzeria. Homosexuals are encouraged to come out of the closet, while those who have religious beliefs are told to keep their views in the closet. Even those on this thread tell the religious to basically shut up. Tenchusatsu
