Georgia is considering a similar piece of legislation that India just passed into law
Indiana just passed into law which would allow businesses to discriminate against LGBT members
now interestingly enough CNN has an interview with a florist that lives in Georgia and they
kind of called the florist bluff when it comes to the issue of discrimination at another
flower shop just down the street the exact same opinions from the florist and her son
who was studying to be a southern Baptist pastor I would respectfully tell that I just
don't want to do it because of my believes but right you know while Georgia is considering
a law to make it legal for you to do that is not and you can get in trouble for doing
that I understand that so you would be willing to take that risk yeah he died on the cross
so that's the least I could do for him I serve a god who's higher than any supreme court
judge he's called the judge of the universe I don't care what anybody else says so no
matter what whether it's a law or not you wouldn't bring your flowers to a gay commitment
ceremony no OK so he couldn't say wedding the person you saw there at first was florist
Melissa Jeffcoat she's very clear Jesus died on the cross for her so as a result she is
not going to provide flowers for a same sex couples and it's also important to note that
her son is studying to be a Baptist minister so they're deeply religious they follow the
bible and so well they don't follow the bible they don't we're about to get to that in just
a second they claim the follow the bible they claim that they follow the bible but they
seem like they're very gung ho on discriminating against gay people because died on the cross
for them none of the ten commandments that says you can commit adultery right says you
need to honor your father and mother if someone didn't honor their parents or commit adultery
would you serve them yes well why would you serve them but not serve someone who was gay
it's just a different kind of sin to me and I just don't believe in it yes I was waiting
for that I was waiting for that little sound what is that sound what is that sound effect
it's spitting it's someone spitting spitting tobacco I absolutely loved that because it
just shows you that when it comes to a huge portion of religious people in this country
and it's not just Christians religious people in general they will cherry pick the portions
of their doctrine that allow them to carry out whatever agenda they have whether it's
a hateful agenda whether it's a loving agenda right if you if you take the bible in its
entirely and you actually follow everything that it tells you to follow you are a sinner
that woman right there she's probably a massive sinner right and for some reason she thinks
that her sins are somehow better than the sins committed by those who are in same sex
marriages or relationships first of all you know just from a biblical standpoint she's
utterly mistaken the ten commandments the are ten commandments they are very very very
very important but Steve probably they most important thing right but some sins are worse
than other sins OK yeah and Jesus never once mentioned never once mentioned anything about
gays that they're taking one line out of Leviticus and maybe one line out of some other part
of the bible which I can't recall right now those two lines those two lines are not more
important than the ten commandments so so you know I mean but we violate the ten commandants
with impunity you know we all work on the Sabbath we don't we don't keep it whole that's
one of the ten commandments and so you know from a biblical standpoint she's just flat
out wrong but the point is Christianity in American today has been hijacked by two issues
gays and abortion and on both they're so massively out of touch and this partly explains why
they keep losing followers because if you're a free thinker or a critical thinker you can't
live like this this is this is from 2,000 years ago this is crazy talk I'm just glad
to see journalists going after sort of a small business flower shop owners with the kind
of relentless one two punch that they never give to politicians you know like I mean I
see that's a good point that's a relaly good point like I have sympathy for this woman
presumably they came to her and they asked her to comment and she's like yeah and she's
being honest and then he's like boom boom boom gotcha that's I would like them to extend
the same type of treatment to politicians and people of authority there's no question
about that but I actually think it's a good idea to interview business owners business
owners that are so loud and outspoken when it comes to issues like this I mean these
are the type of people that representatives in these states are trying to represent so
is there any logic in their arguments and as you see that interview and of course this
is anecdotal evidence but still you see that interview and you see that it's not based
on logic it's based on their own you know desire to discriminate it just I just I hear
you I just would rather the sponsors of the bill I hear yah I get it this is a totally
legitimate story there's no question it's legitimate and I would lose if I would have
been in the news room I would lose that argument but like you take someone who's no sophisticated
and not on TV I hear you and she seems probably kind and decent and I would love to meet a
sophisticated individual who thinks it's OK to discriminate gay people based on their
religion yeah so look I hear what you're saying so you're saying that you know the media should
go after bigger fish I totally get that but at the same time I mean this woman and her
kid are so self righteous it's just nauseating I mean you know gay people are so beneath
them they're not even worth of my flowers like I like I don't want their money they
can't have my flowers they can't have my flowers it's absurd the cannot they can't have my
flowers I'm not giving them my flowers alright yeah so they did ask he did ask it like fairly
respectfully he wasn't like you know up in her grill so you know we have this fear of
Sharia law and we love to point at these Islamic nations and say the look how barbaric they
are but I say this if we didn't have the separation of church and state in the U.S. it would get
ugly so fast cause these people they don't want you know provide public accommodations
for gays if this country became a Christian theocracy and you know they ruled from the
bible that's not all they would do LGBT community jews women whatever else they would impose
you know the America version of Sharia law and it would get ugly very fast so thank god
for the separation of church and state
