http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/04/05/473107959/mississippi-governor-signs-religious-freedom-bill-into-lawSo Mississippi is now allowing people to refuse service/discriminate and have no consequences all in the name of religious freedom.
I thought about this for a bit and realized that this is probably the best thing to happen to the LGBT/pre-marital sex people in the state. Here's why:
"It specifically says that is a case where a person has a religious conviction, they can decline, but they must provide somebody in their office to provide that service," Gipson says. That requirement covers state employees declining to license or perform a marriage.
Basically, the state must now hire people who are ok with gay marriage. Not only hire but keep available during operating hours every operating day. They are sanctioning gay marriage by hiring known supporters! The state is going to have to put up ads that require "Support for Gay Marriage" or at least "no moral objections to gay marriage".
But this also is a boon for everyone else too. Muslims no longer need to be nice to Christians. They can refuse service based on religious grounds and can't be fired for it. Muslims doctors can refuse to treat a patient due to them being an infidel.
But it gets better. If your religion is against "christians" then you can basically refuse service/fire anyone who IS christian. Just imagine the firestorm that no one can stop when a Satanist evicts all his Christian tenants!
