This is despotism at its very worst. Our first amendment guarantees religious freedom; it does not guarantee the right of people who choose to engage in immoral conduct to force business owners to lend support to their lifestyle by providing services for ceremonies that directly violate the religious convictions of the business owner. Christian business owners should never be compelled to provide services for a ceremony which, from a biblical perspective, is an overtly pagan ceremony, aimed at destroying religious liberty and eradicating Christian values from the culture. That may not be what the homosexual couples intend by their actions, but it is the effect of their actions, and it is clearly what the devil himself intends by their actions. They have been taken captive by him to do his will. Why should a business owner be forced to support a ceremony of any sort that he regards as demonic in origin? That's what these anti-religious leftists don't understand. They don't understand or appreciate the depth of conviction in the heart of Christians regarding this issue. They disrespect religious faith, and think nothing about trampling on first amendment rights.
