Okay, let's look at a couple of excerpts and expound with some common sense reasoning.

1) she would decline to deliver pizza to a same-sex wedding reception because her religious views prohibit same-sex weddings,
~End~

It seems here to me that that she is lacking the ability to both connect and disconnect herself, appropriately, from her religious views. Delivering pizza to a same-sex wedding doesn't mean she's participating or supports the act and this is this the 'connect' to her views. Her disconnect should've been to make the money and deliver the food even if it meant charging the customers for courier service if she just didn't even want to be there to see it. So simple.

2) Suppose the couple seeking the pizza at their wedding was not only same sex, but also of two different races, and the pizza shop owner claimed a religious aversion to mixed-race marriages. Could she have followed through on her promise to deny the pizza? Or suppose she objected on religious grounds to weddings of those who had been previously married? Could she lawfully have denied pizza to them? Or suppose she claimed a religious view that prohibited her from serving pizza to anyone whose skin color was darker than hers? Is there no limit to her ability to refuse service so long as she claims a religious basis for doing so?
~End~

These are some very, very good questions and views taken on this subject. I'm going to take this even further with some of my own concerns. What about the men and women that she and her dad both know that become 'excessively drunken' regularly according to the Bible? Yeah, as in the excerpt above, what about people who have divorced contrary to what the Bible says? America, what about all the boys and girls that she knows who are FORNICATING...SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE? Are these people being turned away by her also? What about Mr. Jones who cheated on his wife...is he turned away for violating her Christian views on ALDULTERY?

America, you become HYPOCRITICAL and DEVIANT when choosing what your abusing from the Bible in an effort to promote beliefs. YOU MUST TURN ALL THESE PEOPLE AWAY FOR THEY'RE ALL VIOLATING THE CHRISTIAN FAITH AS ALL THESE VIOLATIONS ARE IN THE BIBLE AS WELL.

3) Hence, the Indiana law on its face could be used to claim the right to deny any person any service in any public accommodation, so long as the denial was based on the denier's stated religious views.
~End~

This statement supports my above elaboration on #2 with violations of the Christian faith. The denier will be turning away EVERYBODY THAT COMES IN AT SOME POINT. WHY?

Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Here's what I meant about turning away ONLY SPECIFIC PEOPLE:

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

Yep, according to people like this lady, it's okay for Tom to come to their pizza shop three sheets to the wind everyday for pizza 'cause he's not gay. Pure Bible exploitation at its' best.
