Reply to comment by breckenridgeback in ELI5: What is the point of Christian Colleges?? by C_Wisn

No, they absolutely can, except for a few protected reasons. You can refuse service to someone for the attitude, offensive clothing, or because you don't like their face. But you can't do it because you don't like their skin color or sexual orientation. There are some exceptions carved out for religious views, like in the case of sexual orientation, but even the church can't kick you out for your skin color

Edit:

I bolded a few words because u/ScienceIsSexy420 seemed to miss the point.

Yes. Although if it wasn't clear I can go back and bold a few words for you.

So what that means is that any reason is valid except for the protected reasons. This was contrary to what the person I responded to was saying, which is why I phrased it that way. I'm sorry if you found this confusing or contradictory, but it wasn't meant to be.

Correct.

Incorrect. This is in agreement with the person you responded to. It’s contrary to your initial comment.

The issue here is that you made an incorrect statement, were then corrected, then proceeded to say that your initial statement was correct while at the same time agreeing with the correction.

I genuinely thought my initial comment mentioned the protected situations, my apologies.
