Discrimination is not synonymous with discernment, because discrimination has the additional factor or characteristic of making judgments of choice, sometimes involving acceptance of a particular person(s) or ideological philosophy or religious concept while at the same time rejecting some other person(s) or opposing (not simply "contrasting") ideological philosophy or religious concept.

Discrimination CAN be godly (or righteous) discrimination (as the Judeo-Christian Sacred-66-books Holy Bible defines "godly" and "righteous") is ALWAYS good and beneficial (as that Bible also defines both of those terms).

Consider "traffic-control lights" at some road intersections.

Notice that I did not instead call them "stoplights." (Had I done so, the one-sided or biased would consider that "negative" - and we all should not be thus narrow-minded, should we?).

"Good" (law-enforcement-officers-approved) drivers DO discriminate regarding (and not "concerning") both red compared with green intersection-control lights. They stop at red, but go through at green, and do not do both simultaneously.

It is not that drivers hate red lights by usually going through on green ones, nor that they hate green lights by usually stopping at red ones. As the Old-Testament states: "There is a time and place for everything," and one must not seek acquiescing and compromising peace when war for survival is expedient, nor wimpishly love in fear-of-humanity cowardice when bold, brave, and courageous hate is both vital and crucial.

They instead do what they usually do under threat of punishment pertaining to the possibility of choosing to not responsibly discriminate and not physically respond accordingly when and for how long they clearly should (and must!) discriminate in those situations.

They are under legal compulsion and requirement to share and take turns at intersections by means of intersection-control lights, for orderly traffic flow as most everyone's mutually-understood and operationally-agreed-upon purpose.

I would guess that if the very-improbable occurred . . . if BOTH red AND green lights appeared together at once at some intersection, most drivers (but perhaps not all) would tend toward the negative by slowing down to some extent, cautiously looking both ways, and carefully but quickly proceeding through that intersection if then when they perceive all is clear at the time.

The previously-mentioned discrimination is applicable to the areas of Biblically-alluded-to moral and immoral thoughts and actions, as in the areas of choosing to go through with or instead stop concerning committing the sinful perversion of becoming and being homogay sodomites contrasted with performing marital heterosexuality, committing the sin of anti-reproductively murdering human babes in wombs contrasted with the clinical and medical health of performing childbirth and nurturing reproduced same-kind-lifeform human offspring, committing the heresy of espousing evolution mythology contrasted with performing allegiance to logical and thoroughly-documented historical Biblical young-Earth creationism, etc.

It is amusing, yet sad and pathetic, to watch big-name pro-homogay-supportive TV-talkshow maggots (or is it "magnates?") like anti-firearms-possession Piers Morgan, Colbert, Anderson Cooper, Lawrence O'Donnell, Chris Hayes, Rachel Madcow (sorry: Maddow), and other editorialists puff and promote the homogay and homosodomite cause, while -- in their fast-talking trip-over-themselves blurbilizing babble and blatter -- probably presuming (not assuming) that they can and will eradicate or revise the immutable retribution-intended anti-homogay/anti-homosodomite hatred of God Himself (revealed by His non-changing non-alterable natural environment phenomena and operation mechanisms, along with His reliably-historical Divinely-inspired/humanly-authored Holy Bible) plus His Spirit-empowered, well-entrenched, zealous (i.e. "radical and extremist"), Christian saints . . . relating to righteous disdain and rejection against all things and persons homosexual.

There has been prophesied in the New-Testament book of Revelation [Revelation 13:16 and Revelation 17:16] at least two noteworthy things:

(1) The False-Prophet Antichrist will program his pseudo-"living" robotic Image of the Beast to cause all humans on planet Earth (who comply) to be tattooed with a 666 branding on forehead or right hand to buy and sell, thus monopolizing and unifying worldwide commercial transactions (something even Adolf Hitler did not and could not do during the 1940s), and

(2)The Beast Antichrist will hate the [homosexual-and-more] harlot, make [her] desolate and naked, and burn up [her] flesh with fire, for God has put it into his heart to carry out his [righteous-retribution] purpose pertaining to eliminate all counterproductive-to-his-complete-control immoral dissidents . . . even though the Beast will cause Great Tribulation against both Jewish and non-Jewish saints of the Lord during that near-future time period.

A foreshadowing already occurred when the Nazi Fuehrer suddenly and non-expectedly executed homoqueer bullyboy Brownshirts who had helped get the fledgling Nazi Party into power (against the fledgling Communist Party) during the late 30s, and forced known homosexuals into concentration camps and wear pink triangles (which this author has seen actual newsreel clips of).

Pertaining to the first point stated above, do not the current pro-homosexual proponents (those especially of CNN and MSNBC) realize that that economic-restriction mandate of not-being-able-to-buy-or-sell-without-The-666-Mark has NOT occurred yet?

Consequently, genuine Christian saints yet fund whoever they want, and you can be sure that they neither want nor do not (as much as possible) deliberately and willfully donate financial monies to homogay effeminate, homosodomites, evolutionists, abortionists, atheists, antisemites, pornographers, immodestly-misattired-in-public exhibitionists, nor sexist feminists.

Such bonafide Christians, albeit a very-vocal, rather-well-organized, and determined minority, will fund those who are explicitly against sexually-oriented perverts and luridly-wicked types previously mentioned.

Not only that, such authentic Christian missionaries will legislatively and judicially influence everyone to divert government allocations of all sorts away from homogay effeminate, homosodomites, evolutionists, abortionists, atheists, antisemites, pornographers, immodestly-misattired-in-public exhibitionists, and/or sexist feminists . . . and instead toward those against such evil vermin, especially relating to apportioned public taxation.

Already, Christian individuals rightly can and legitimately do separately patronize whatever commercial public businesses they want, as they also can (and do!) in Christian groups, associations, churches, camps, schools, hospitals, charities, unions, clubs, societies, and so forth.

The recent flap in Arizona pertaining to moralistic Republicans in that legislature exercising their well-intentioned reactionary-against-homogay/homosodomite-activists and grievance against same-gender homosodomy-unions licensing (mis-called: "same-sex "gay" marriage") right to governmentally encourage or allow commercial businesses in Arizona to discriminate against potentially-vile antisocial and pollutive customers on the basis of reasonably-proven religiously-related grounds, had noble and perhaps Scriptural intentions behind it, but that legislation (vetoed by the governor) was (in one sense) somewhat superfluous and redundant .... because managers and personnel operating privately-owned businesses (even though such are registered as commercial businesses with the federal and state IRS) already had and have the right (under certain parameters and stipulations) to discriminate against any potential customer for any lawful cause "under God" and the American government must (with respect to the Constitution's First Amendment Non-Establishment-of-Religion/Non-Prohibition-of-Religion Clauses under which the American government of the United States has been and continues to be bound) allow both private individuals and business owners or proprietors of good conscience to so discreetly discriminate in orderly ways against what arguably is still overtly offensive and financially detrimental to the sane and civilized.

To give an example here in Minnesota, there was (a while back) a gun-rights law passed by the MN Legislature allowing registered firearm owners with gun-carrying permits to enter public buildings with their concealed firearms. However, many owners and managers of large and small companies in the State objected to such a questionable (and dangerous to them) opportunity for those few who on occasion might not display "Minnesota Nice" to occupants inside those corporations and companies concerning those concealed weapons. And as a result, here and there are still found signs at the entrances of such businesses: "NO GUNS ALLOWED ON THESE PREMISES."

Now, carrying concealed firearms is different than entering a corporation, company, or store to exhibit disgusting and obnoxious homosexual displays of perverted lust (misnamed "love") and/or to peddle pro-homogay or sexist feminist or atheistic or antisemitic or evolutionist or abortionist propaganda on the premises (which prohibition might be accomplished to some extent by posted "NO SOLICITING" signs prominently displayed wherever on business premises).

Violating such postings would result in prompt and understandable 911 calls for police to intervene and charge particularly flagrant and defiant offenders with 'disturbing the peace' or 'being a public nuisance' or 'peddling without a license' or 'disorderly conduct.'

However, when the owner or manager of a privately-owned business does desire to exclude homosexuals (or those deemed with reasonable probable cause to be homosexuals), or atheists, or evolutionists, or sexist feminists, or antisemites, or immodest exhibitionists, or abortionists, such is currently and presently quite legally permissible . . . if the proprietor of the business prominently-enough displays to potential customers (in Yellow-Page advertising, with large-enough-lettered warning signs on the entrance doors of the establishment, in bold-type fine print on contracts, etc.) his desire to exclude the type of deviates the proprietor considers intolerable and non-fit to trespass into his privately-owned company property.

The frequently-seen brightly-colored cones near the doorways of some fast-food businesses read: WET FLOOR, and they mean exactly what they state during wet weather or whatever, with the obvious implication that footing slippage and consequential bodily injury could thus occur, and so such prominent obstructions in walkways are cheap but effective insurance against being successfully sued by some careless customer who arrogantly disregards caution as to where and how he or she walks near such cones.

It is not impossible for even the most intellectually-challenged (i.e. stupid or idiotic or insane) homosexual, feminist, abortionist, evolutionist, atheist, antisemite, immodest exhibitionist, cultic nut, etc. to "get the point" that they are not welcome into and on certain properties owned and operated by certain managers and proprietors.

This webpage author has - many times - observed on the bottom of restaurant menus the following disclaimer:

Sounds OK to me. If a same-gender couple enters some restaurant and begins passionately lip-kissing each other, or a bawling or shrieking infant is brought in -- both of which clearly irritate other patrons in the restaurant including the manager-- the restaurant manager is perfectly within his or her legal rights to approach the noxious offenders and calmly but firmly present an ultimatum to promptly either stop the disturbance or leave the restaurant, and give them a limited amount of time to do so, with perhaps a final more-forceful warning that if they do not cease, that the police will be called in to physically remove them from the premises.

In polite and considerate response, offenders should (and must!) "take the hint" plainly directed at and against them, back off rather than fight (keeping in mind who owns and runs what), and go find whoever wherever elsewhere to accommodate their peculiar personal and/or special-interest-group aberration -- preferably without grumbling as they leave without threatening the proprietor with whatever threat they concoct.

The above scenario reminds me of the following Biblical parable told by Jesus Christ:

Matthew 20:10 Now when the first [laborers] came, they thought they would receive more; but each of them also received a denarius.
11 And on receiving it they grumbled at the [employer],
12 saying, ‘These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.’
13 But he replied to one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong; did you not agree with me for a denarius?
14 Take what belongs to you, and go; I choose to give to this last as I give to you.
15 Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?’

Sodom-and-Gomorrah-reminiscent segregation is not only courteous common sense and common law, but Scriptural (as commanded avoidance-of-evil verses are profuse within Holy Writ). As to who should intrude upon whom, whether by use of military government or civilian mechanisms and manipulation, the Bible of America's stated Creator sets the ultimate standards as to who should have the majority, the upper-hand, and the overriding-opinion determination:

More often than not, selective censorship is crucial, for important reasons.

Numbers 16:26 And he said to the congregation, "Leave, I implore you, the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be swept away with all their sins."
27 So they got away from about the residence of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram; and Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the door of their tents, together with their wives, their sons, and their little ones.
28 And Moses said, "Hereby you shall know that the LORD has sent me to do all these works, and that it has not been of my own accord.
29 If these men die the common death of all men, or if they are visited by the fate of all men, then the LORD has not sent me.
30 But if the LORD creates something new, and the ground opens its mouth, and swallows them up, with all that belongs to them, and they go down alive into Sheol, then you shall know that these men have despised the LORD."
31 And as he finished speaking all these words, the ground under them split asunder;
32 and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households and all the men that belonged to Korah and all their goods.

Psalm 106:17 the earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.

Second Kings 1:10 But Elijah answered the captain of fifty, "If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty." Then fire came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
12 But Elijah answered them, "If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty." Then the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty.
13 Again the king sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and entreated him, "Oh man of God, I pray you, let my life, and the life of these fifty servants of yours, be precious in your sight.
14 Wow, fire came down from heaven, and consumed the two former captains of fifty men with their fifties; but now let my life be precious in your sight."
15 Then the angel of the LORD said to Elijah, "Go down with him; do not be afraid of him." So he arose and went down with him to the king."

Second Kings 6:17 Then Elisha prayed, and said, "Oh LORD, I pray you, open his eyes that he may see." So the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw; and hey, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

Second Kings 19:35 And that night the angel of the LORD went forth, and slew a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the camp of the Assyrians; and when men arose early in the morning, hey, these were all dead bodies.

Second Chronicles 19:2 But Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to King Jehoshaphat, "Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the LORD? Because of this, wrath has gone out against you from the LORD."

Job 8:22 Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, and the tent of the wicked will be no more.
Job 11:20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail; all way of escape will be lost to them, and their hope is to breathe their last.
Job 18:5 Yes, the light of the wicked is put out, and the flame of his fire does not shine.

Job 20:3 I hear censure which insults me, and out of my understanding a spirit answers me. Job 20:4 Do you not know this from of old, since man was placed upon earth, Job 20:5 the exulting of the wicked is short, and the joy of the godless but for a moment?

Proverbs 13:20 He who walks with wise men becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.

Jeremiah 28:15 And Jeremiah the prophet said to the prophet Hananiah, "Listen, Hananiah, the LORD has not sent you, and you have made this people trust in a lie.
Jeremiah 28:16 Therefore thus says the LORD: 'Hey, I will remove you from the face of the earth. This very year you shall die, because you have uttered rebellion against the LORD.'"
Jeremiah 28:17 In that same year, in the seventh month, the prophet Hananiah died.

Acts 5:3 But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back part of the proceeds of the land?
4 While it remained non-sold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? How is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God."
5 When Ananias heard these words, he fell down and died. And great fear came upon all who heard of it.
6 The young men got up and wrapped him up and carried him out and buried him.
7 After an interval of about three hours his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
8 And Peter said to her, "Tell me whether you sold the land for so much." And she said, "Yes, for so much."
9 But Peter said to her, "How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The feet of those that have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out."
10 Immediately she fell down at his feet and died. When the young men came in they found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
11 And great fear came upon the whole church, and upon all who heard of these things.

Acts 12:23 Immediately an angel of the Lord smote [Herod], because he did not give God the glory; and he was eaten by worms and died.

Romans 16:17 I appeal to you, brethren, to take note of those who create dissensions and difficulties, in opposition to the doctrine which you have been taught; avoid them.

Second Corinthians 6:17 "Therefore come out from them, and be separate from them," says the Lord, "and touch nothing unclean; then I will welcome you . . ."

Ephesians 5:7 Therefore do not associate with them. . .

First Timothy 6:20 Oh Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you. Avoid the godless chatter and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge . . .

Second Timothy 2:16 Avoid such godless chatter, for it will lead people into more and more godlessness . . .
Second Timothy 3:5 holding the form of religion but denying the power of it. Avoid such people.

It behooves all residents and citizens of this nation claiming to be "Under God" who exchange currency embedded with the motto: "In God We Trust" to comply and adjust to the Basic-Operating-System Directives of whatever American-tradition-accepted-and-embraced "God" not only the Founding Fathers cherished and enslaved themselves to, but also and similarly all those closely following after them who have been and yet are ideologically identical morally (both in general public and in private).

Suffice it to say that committing (and not "performing") homogay sodomy, abortion-homicide murder, anti-Jewish/anti-Israel antisemitism, heretical-fool atheism, immodest indecent-exposure which is in-effect lewd-and-lascivious pornography, etc. are NOT at ALL concordant with the majority's conception of "The God in Whom They Trust" (who, I dare say, was, is, and will continue to be: Jesus Christ referenced within His Holy Word and qualified in and by Leviticus 20:13, Ecclesiastes 7:26-28, Isaiah 3:12, Nahum 3:13, Romans 1:26-28, First Corinthians 6:9-10, First Timothy 2:11-15, First Timothy 5:14 (KJV) and a lot more).

Life is a mixture of both discrimination and non-discrimination.

The blind non-discrimination at a four-way-stop intersection, at which whoever gets there first has both the right and the obligation to cross that intersection first (be they communist, nazi, illegal alien, fascist, predator, thief, hatefully-malicious homofaggot or TV-talkshow-host homodikes promoter, Republican-males-despising sassy-twit feminist, antisemitic islamic terrorist, or Christian evangelistic preacher) reminds us all that God dumps His snow on the driveways of both the just and the injust, and at times does not distinguish between the righteous and the wicked as to who gets chilled by His subzero winter temperatures:

Matthew 5:45 . . . so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the injust.

Romans 3:23 . . . since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Sometimes the discrimination is self-imposed within The Given Playing Field God has confined everyone to:

Proverbs 11:8 The righteous is delivered from trouble, and the wicked gets into it instead.

At other times, God makes even a definitive lethal distinction as to who gets blessed contrasted with who gets cursed, and the Divine Umpire instigates and enforces His holy discrimination or "ethnic cleansing" as He sees fit:

Exodus 8:21 . . . if you will not let my people go, hey, I will send swarms of flies on you and your servants and your people, and into your houses; and the houses of the Egyptians shall be filled with swarms of flies, and also the ground on which they stand.
Exodus 8:22 But on that day I will set apart the land of Goshen, where my people reside, so that no swarms of flies shall be there; that you may know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth.

Amos 4:7 And I also withheld the rain from you when there were yet three months to the harvest; I would send rain upon one city, and send no rain upon another city; one field would be rained upon, and the field on which it did not rain withered . . .

Zechariah 14:17 And if any of the families of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, there will be no rain upon them.

Malachi 3:16 Then those who feared the LORD spoke with one another; the LORD heeded and heard them, and a book of remembrance was written before Him of those who feared the LORD and thought on His name.
Malachi 3:17 "They shall be mine," says the LORD of hosts, "my special possession on the day when I act, and I will spare them as a man spares his son who serves him.
Malachi 3:18 Then once more you shall distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him."

Matthew 25:31 When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne.
32 Before Him will be gathered all the nations (including those at CNN and MSNBC, and morality-hating broadcast and newsprint editorialists), and He will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats,
33 and He will place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left.
41 Then He will say to those at His left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels;
42 for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink,
43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.'
44 Then they also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?'
45 Then He will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it not to one of the least of these [zealously-"extremist/radical" political-action anti-homogay Christian activists], you did it not to me.'
46 And they will go away into eternal punishment [in the fiery outer darkness], but the righteous into eternal life."

A threat? Yes, and, a promise!

Romans 9:13 As it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."
14 What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God's part? By no means!
15 For He says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."
16 So it depends not upon man's will or exertion, but upon God's mercy.
17 For the scripture says to Pharaoh, "I have raised you [and those at CNN and MSNBC] up for the very purpose of showing my power in you, so that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth."
18 So then He has mercy upon whomever He wills, and He hardens the heart of whomever He wills.
19 You will say to me then, "Why does He still find fault? For who can resist His will?"
20 But who are you, a man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, "Why have you made me thus?"
21 Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for beauty and another for menial use?

God's choice as to anyone's eternal fate is dependent upon the choice of each and every anyone, and clearly it is "either His way or the highway" [to the outer-darkness Lake of Fire]. HE is The Boss, and no one is able to overthrow nor successfully compete against The Forever-Anti-Homosexuals Almighty God.
