    So let's say I open a restaurant and hire, oh, David Chang to be the chef and it is going to be a big deal place in Indianapolis.

    And it opens and it is a hit.

    Under this law, could I have no-Methodists Mondays or ask religious denominations and tell them no Episcopalians?

    It's the "something" you're deliberately -- and disappointingly -- choosing to not think through.

    So basically the cornpones of Indiana were too fucking dumb to make up a lie. To tell Angela and Stephanie that they couldn't possibly cater their wedding because they are already booked solid that weekend. That there was no way that they could photograph Brice and Charles' wedding because they were going to be out of town that weekend for a cousin's graduation. No, they'd much rather pass a law letting everyone know they're too fucking dumb to make up a lie.

    Is there anyone in sports who would have the guts not to show up at Indianspolis next weekend? I'm not saying that any of them should boycott, but is there anyone who would have that kind courage. In any sport?

    Well, it is very convenient when somebody's god hates the same people they do.

    No reason to drag Muslims into this.

    Muslims apparently don't care much for gays either. And yes, I have had that discussion with a Muslim. I guess that proves the President isn't a Muslim as some people seem to think he is, but that's a different subject altogether. With so much in common, I don't understand why evangelical Christians don't like them much.

    Since when has homosexuality been one of the more serious sins?

    If Andrew Luck came out against the law, it would be rescinded in record time.

    "Something" = "Legal recourse and government protection for people who refuse services to others based on heir religious beliefs."

    Hiding behind being "burdened by government" isn't going to work, considering that government makes a spectacle of being guided and inspired by a specific religion in its daily business.
