[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 17959, member: 8"] Maybe, but my point was that, if certain instructions [I]how[/I] to make the cake would offend me (for whatever reason), I should have the right to refuse that particular order. In this case it has nothing to do with the customer. Aren't we entitled to have boundaries? Let's take another example: Does a prostitute have to do everything because the customer wants to? Where does it end? Belief isn't rational, and for that reason it can't be irrational either. Religion can be damaging and dangerous, but that's another topic. If I would say: I know that smurfs exist, then you can disagree with me, and probably prove that my statement is incorrect/irrational. But if truly believe that smurfs exist eventhough I've never seen one, then there's nothing you can do to change that. My [I]faith[/I] is real, not the smurfs. [/QUOTE]
