The Recent Supreme Court decision to legalize gay marriage in all 50 states might have untold affects on the religious freedoms of Christians. How do we protect the rights of Christians to conduct their businesses in a way consistent with their faith? I propose the Religious Conscience Protection Act (RCPA).

The Proposed Law: No employee in the private or public sector shall be prosecuted for refusing to render a good or a service in a way which violates their religious conscience, provided that said employee does not promote violence against a federally protected group of people.

Passing this law would help to create an America of real tolerance where a Christian baker is not sued or fined for adhering to his religious conscience
in refusing to furnish a gay wedding. If tolerance is the goal , then the Christian demands it as well.

This is a good middle ground. To call this intolerance is intolerance itself. Thank God we have something like this here in Arkansas. But it should be nationwide I think. We're gonna need a middle ground like this if we are gonna avoid a civil war. Which could happen.

This absolutely serves its purpose as an preliminary proposal. We should be allowed to coexist even if we disagree, I believe that while the truth need not impose itself on its opponents as it is secure it what it is, deception, which cannot create but only distort, must be accepted and cannot have any viewpoints alternative to its own present, due to its INsecurity in what it is.
