OK, I respect the fact that you are consistent.
But what about the Bill Of Rights? Why doesn't the Bill Of Rights, absolutely, irrefutably, prevent the government from forcing these people into violating their beliefs?
When we have had military drafts, for example, people with religious objections, were not forced to go to war. People who didn't want to go to war for other reasons (let's say they didn't want to go because they didn't believe in the cause), were forced to go.
If these pizzeria owners tell you that the Bill Of Rights guarantees them the right to make this decision, what's your response?
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"
That doesn't seem very ambiguous to me. Like it or not, the Constitution gives them this right.
Do you deny the Bill Of Rights gives them this right? Based on what? How can you read that text, and draw any other conclusion?
