    Islam is the largest example of bad religion.

    But i have to say, the 1st story mentions someone who allegedly blasphemed Mohmed being threatened with death.
    It's sad... and wrong.
    but i have to ask would it be OK if the mob had just demanded that he'd lose his job over his religious opinion?
    What about over his political opinion or disrespect of a national flag or an anthem? Death is extreme of course, but his job that'd be fundmentally different right?

    suppression of unpopular religious and political views takes many forms seems to me.

    True.

    The suppression of discrimination without a just cause of gays by Christian bakeries that would not bake wedding cakes for gays is a good example of government bringing an immoral Christian and his poor moral tenet to heel is good example of proper suppression of religious immorality though. Right?

    uh, no it's not.

    Are people FREE to participate in homosexual weddings or not?
    If the "god withen" leads them not to join or promote the practice. aren't they free to OPT OUT?
    or do homosexuals have the power to force people do their bidding when it's against those people's understanding of faith?

    Are Jew's forced to make sausage at thier deli because a customer or pig farmers demand it?
    Are Muslims forced to sell bacon from their food stores?
    Are pet owners forced to sell dogs to some Asians that still like to use them in their traditional celebrations for food? would that be OPPRESSING tht Asian minority. Or might it be adhering to a standard of personal belief that it's cruel to uses dogs for food?
    But isn't that just AN OPINION not even backed by any protected or clear religious standard?

    so no the Christian's aren't "oppressing" homosexual by not selling them wedding cakes... or participating in their weddings

    That is not what the law of the land says.

    I said nothing of participating in a wedding. I did say something of discrimination without a just case.
