Seriously, would any religious person here want to be served by someone who despises their religion, who would otherwise tell them to leave their premises, but only serves them in fear of authorities?

Same for atheists: suppose you went to a hairdresser, a baker, a chiropractor, a [non-subsidised, truly] private school or a private tutor for your child, etc. and they told you: "Get out, you are not a Christian/Muslim/Buddhist" - would you then tell them: "provide me with your services or I call the police"? Would you even be comfortable receiving their services either due to making such threats or after the police came and forced them to provide it?

Yuyutsu,

You've raised some very valid points.

Of course we can only speak for ourselves and what
we would do. People as individuals think and behave
differently. Laws are supposed to treat us all
equally - but of course the reality is often very
different.

Regular morning commentator, Terry Barnes, wonders why people identifying as gay, etc, etc, make up only about 3% of the population, but they dominate almost all of our media time, "splitting and potentially destroying" governments, with shouty activists denigrating and excoriating 97% of the population.

Many, if not most, of the 97% are concerned about it too, and we had damn well better do something about it at the coming election.

Yeah, the next election is going to be a difficult
choice. At present I'm not sure who I'll vote for.
I'm still weighing up all the options. I'm not too
thrilled with either of the two major parties.
Although I'm leaning towards the Coalition at present.

NB. The incumbent government threw something away that took lawyers 3 years to perfect. True conservatives need to preference genuine conservative candidates at the next election with a view to those candidates having the balancd of power over whatever mess gains government - loopy Left
Liberal, or Green Labor.

The conservative candidates that I like are members
of the Coalition.
