BELIEFS: Let the customers decide

| April 5, 2015 9:00 PM

Indiana is facing a backlash because of the law just passed that would protect Christian businesses that refuse providing services to those who would have them compromise their Christian beliefs.

On the surface the discussion is pointed solely toward Christians. However, the debate goes deeper than that and much further than Christian vs. non-Christian. If a Muslim has a catering business and they are requested to provide a marriage dinner with smoked pork as part of the meal, should they have the right to refuse such an order?

Wouldn’t it be much easier to find a business that supports one’s preference?
