If Bernie Sanders didn’t have to fight in Vietnam because of his religious beliefs, why do business owners have to participate in gay weddings in spite of theirs?

As early as the American Revolution, citizens whose religious beliefs reject violence in all cases have been granted accommodations and have not been forced to fight. The guarantees of religious freedom in the First Amendment solidified the right to refuse combat service owing to deeply held moral beliefs. In the 1965 Seeger decision, the Supreme Court extended conscientious objector status to pacifists whose beliefs were not based on any orthodox religion.

All of this leads to an intriguing question: if Sanders didn’t have to fight in Vietnam because of his beliefs, why do business owners have to participate in gay weddings in spite of theirs?

Because the Constitution only gives you rights to avoid things lefties disapprove of. Duh.

If a communist can fake a religious objection to fighting a war against a communist country, Hobby Lobby, the Little Sisters of the Poor, and the photographers, cake bakers, pizza parlors, and florists ... they have a right to claim conscientious objection too.
