Herein lies the problem. What gives you the wisdom or authority to have your agenda shoved down somebody else's throat? How is it any different from the liberal agenda being shoved down yours?

I appreciate your perspective as a business owner.
Because it is God's will. I also believe authoritarian governments can be more effective. The threat of liberalism/progressivism/communism also thinks very heavily into that line of thought.
I'd rather a right-wing dictatorship than a left-wing government like China.
Dude, just........... DUDE! If you're not just trolling at this point, I gotta say short version so I don't get too preachy:
I used to be JUST like you. Bending others to God's will with the Good Book in one hand and a Louisville Slugger in the other, more or less. I did a lot of damage and destroyed a lot of relationships along the way but I didn't care. Actually DROVE people away from Christ rather than being them to Him. I lost my faith at one point and had many years where I was exactly what I hated. I eventually saw that you can't FORCE holiness on others. It has to be a choice, made from each individual heart and completely voluntary or else it is false....it is lukewarm, it is anathema. I pray you'll see that without losing your faith or causing the same kind of wreckage in your wake that I left in mine.
And if you ARE just trolling..... You got me. Screw you.
I'm not worried about what individuals do, only as a matter of government policy. So not stopping people from being homosexual, but stopping the government from recognizing it as legitimate. I see regulating businesses as not a matter of freedom because i don't see businesses as necessarily private property but rather part of commerce that must be regulated.
You can't change a man's heart by force, you can only influence society through government policy and public action.
And you contend it's the will of God for YOU to shape society via government intrusion into people's businesses, deciding what's legitimate, etc., yeah, I get it.
I'll ask you again, what gives you the authority or wisdom to try and influence society to what you believe is God's will? More specifically, what qualifies YOU particularly to make those decisions?
Well, there's little argument that God opposed homosexuality. It can be argued that it is god's will. That is not just my opinion, that is the opinion of a large majority of Christian thought.
I don't specifically have qualifications to make those decisions, it has to be the decision of the Church.
Okay, going back to your original statement, do you think that it's God's will to force people to allow firearms in their places of business?
