Indiana's oppressive religious freedom law

I have been following the news about Indiana's oppressive religious freedom law. First off, I never use the word religious if I can help it. Religion is a cult. When asked, I tell people that I am a follower of Christ. My faith practice is non-denominational. Other people use terms they feel comfortable with.

The term religious conservative is bandied about when people talk about this law. I did not know why that phrase left a bad taste in my mouth.  So, I looked up the definition in the urban dictionary. It
 was very accurate for how I feel about this phrase. Others that I talked felt the same. See the link below.

Lonewalker found a question regarding this on the Facebook page of a friend. It says it all.

"Jesus regularly ate dinner with thieves and prostitutes but your telling me it's against your religion to bake a cake for a gay person?

I read the following information before blogging.
