    My hope is this with other rulings to come will force the government to remain neutral to all religion when making decisions and policies, noting, most businesses don't want to turn away customers the fringe ones will.

    Agreed. Or just a sign that says "I don't serve Baptists, Evangelicals, Mormons, Muslims. Jews with cash okay-no credit. Atheists just keep walking." :)

    Doesnt matter . Abortion is legal. A baker will take customers who have had an abortion but you are saying they have to be forced to bake a cake celebrating it?

    Of and From are two different words to begin with.. The only way to have Freedom from Religion would be to ban Religion and the first is damn clear on the matter.

    Again, I do not hate the individuals that compose the Christian faith, I simply hate the faith itself. Along with Judaism, and Islam, I find them to be the most villainous of faiths ever conceived, and Islam more so than the others.

    My hatred may be wrong to you, but alas, I care not fair knight. Do save us though with your sword from ourselves!

    Correct, so why give deductions for "special people"?

    What has that to do with the ruling? The Baker was not enforcing a religion on the pair of homosexuals.

    Again, I ask you to prove it. You, for example, do not get to come onto my land and convert my kin and kine to your faith.

    I have the freedom to not adhere with your religious dogma. I have the freedom from it thus.

    You want to ban free speech. Did you agree or disagree with the right of the Nazis to march in Skokie? Why? Why not?

    The US Constitution applies to the US. Read the 1st Amendment.

    The evangelical right, as is normal in this nation. That is who is attempting to circumvent our freedoms with their legislation of faith.

    That does not mean that the law is unconstitutional. Like I said, feel free to quote the portion of the ruling which says that the law is unconstitutional.
