I'm telling you plainly, simply and rather patiently, that you can't pick and choose who can be discriminated against based on your wish to pander to a certain religion.

And go on, prove I don't read.

Yeh but bare in mind your view is "i dont care which religion they are" so you clearly couldnt see differences even if there were any (there are some). I dont think its worth discussing it further, this is simply how you have evaluated, i understand your perspective and i think its very closed-minded.

He has a very good argument, He researched the religion of the monks to get a better understanding of the situation and he understood that there's two sides to every story.

He's not the one in the Serous Debates section refuting researched arguments and well balanced points simply because it doesn't match his world view despite the factual nature of the argument in question..

Listen to her speaking about it, her discomfort doesn't count then? Only the happy religious guys who got their way have a point of view that matters?

I can't see differences because there are no differences. You just can't see the obvious.

Such a lazy response.

Withano researched and explained things like Sunyata, the concept that explains why these monks made these demands which is far more than anyone else has done in this thread.

Selective leftism. That sounds like a disease.

It's not difficult to understand.

The monks didn't make this woman switch seats, the airline did because they handled the situation poorly. They should have simply moved the monks to seats that would have been more suitable for their needs.

It's not really comparable to the bakers for reasons I've said before. The bakers chose to actively discriminate against the customer even though their business isn't really aimed at a christian audience. Monkey mentioned 'Muslim Cafes' not serving pork products as a comparison and I said it's no different to going to a vegan place and expecting meat. You wouldn't do it because both of those places would be designed around a muslim and vegan audience specifically.

The Bakery had no such distinction thus you can't use the same defense. If they were called 'Ashers' Christian Bakery' then you'd be foolish to expect them to make a cake for gay marriage just like you wouldn't expect a church to host a gay wedding.

Yep this, and it also entirely different situations because unlike the monks, the christians didnt claim that they did not want to bake the cake because they felt unworthy to do so for gay people.

The monks didnt want to sit next to a woman out of respect for her, the christians didnt want to bake the cake out of disrepect to them. Its entirely different and it has been explained to personally you, cherie before.
