If a christian company defrays the costs of family healthcare, the Christian company is forced to also contribute towards a lifestyle which is in fact not condoned or a marriage in the eyes of a conservative biblical christian.


How can a company be designated with a religious title like 'Christian Company'? Because discrimination in companies because of religious belief is, I believe, illegal.
And did God say such was illegal? Did you say such was illegal? Did I say such was illegal? OR has the government made such illegal. A church is a sort of a company, .. Unsaved go in to visit and and hopefully the saved and santified come out.

I feel is is far better to error on the side of freedom. People had the right to start their own businesses and hire and fire whomever they wished for whatever reasons. Workes could begin their own companies and hire and fire as they wished. And in every case the owner had the right to buy and sell what they wished to whomever they wished and the consumer had the right to buy from or deal with whomever they wished for whatever reasons they wished. THAT is real freedom. What we have presently is government sanctioned control and manipulation of everything. That is not freedom and it is not how the United States once was. With the issue of gay marriage. it has finally arrived at the very doors of churches everywhere, and I believe the government will eventually use both the threat of taxes and the prohibition of church construction on the grounds of following or not following governmental mandates. This will officially end the separation of Church and State, leaving the government unofficially in charge...
