Of course it's not.

You'll have to do better than "any law I don't like, is totalitarianism". Tough s___.

Laws designed to restrict the liberty of others speech, religion, and association in acts that cause *literally* no harm to another is toltarianism.

You are demand total subservience in matters of faith and association to the state...

I truly don't follow you. I desire to crush no one.

You desire to destroy business owners who refuse to participate in a religious event which cuts against their faith.

I will admit that going out of your way to tell people your point of view when you're atheist when it isn't wanted can be rude, every bit as much as if a religious person tried to convince me of their point of view. I generally leave people alone unless they start in on it first.

Atheism requires a leap of faith that there is no God when they can't prove it, just as religion requires a leap of faith when there is no tangible proof.

Agnostics are just wishy-washy and aren't willing to take a leap of faith.
04-cheers

Atheism doesn't require any leap of faith. It really doesn't matter if we can prove 100% one way or the other, just as we can't prove there is no Santa Claus or Bigfoot - doesn't affect one's life at all.

No one need answer such an irrelevant, strawman question. The actual discussion is at a higher level than arbitrarily listing off a million things.

That discussion is if people should be allowed to use an excuse of "serving my god's will" to commit crimes, like discrimination. If you'd like to engage in it, then come up with an intelligent argument to posit.

You brought the "strawman" up. Twice. I'm asking you to explain yourself sunshine.

Anywho, not baking someone a cake is not discrimination nor a crime. It's freedom of religion. A little document guarantees that. Something that document doesn't guarantee... cake.

I'm in an interracial marriage, with kids who don't look at all white. You don't know me so STFU about my life experience.

Having to pick someone else ot make your cake because you're gay, or going to a different bar because you're wearing a trump hat is a first world problem of the highest magnitude.

There is no real harm involved. Being offended is not harm.

That give them plenty of time to find a new baker.

I'll just quote your words from farther down in this post. "That's not at all what I said." Don't really know why. Don't know wtf you're trying to get out.

Let's try again. On what religious grounds do CHRISTIANS have to beat their wives?

You could also tell them you aren't interested in baking them a cake day one giving them waaay more time to find another baker. Your scenario gives them a shorter amount of time. Seems the up front honesty would be much more desirable.

Me telling you at 8am I won't serve you food is, on a scale from 1 to 10, how despicable?

You telling me you will serve me food at 8am with no intention of serving me food, thus not giving me food and wasting my entire morning, on a scale from 1 to 10, how despicable?

From which country?

The US famously adopted many thousands of Korean girls in the 1980's, who largely grew up in white homes and have gone on to lead successful, white collar, white lives.

Several countries, they are an ethnic group in SE asia, but they are not Hmong.

Quote:The US famously adopted many thousands of Korean girls in the 1980's, who largely grew up in white homes and have gone on to lead successful, white collar, white lives.

And even more of them immigrated in the 70's-80's with their Korean families, Korean customs, Korean language.

And a lot of this kids who were adopted did not settle into a nice white life. A kid down the street from me growing up was adopted off the streets of post war Korea, never felt right, became a klepto, and eventually left the US as an adult to go back to Korea despite the fact he didn't speak the language any more.
