Winning Position: Are Christians afraid of the truth?

Are Christians afraid of the truth?
Last week the students of the University of Wisconsin-Madison were interviewed regarding a new law being litigated in Madison that force commissioned creative professionals to promote messages that violate their beliefs. An example of this is a photographer being forced to produce photos and blog posts for pro-abortion groups if they produce this same content for pro-life organizations. Now, while I do agree this law is a bit overreaching, their method of interviewing is deceptive.As a comparison to the bakery that was sued and ultimately shut down in Oregon, students were asked if they believe a fashion designer has the right to opt out of designing dresses for first lady Melania Trump or if a Muslim singer has the right to opt out of singing at a Christian church on Easter. To clarify, a bakery that discriminated against a protected class of people is being compared to a designer opting out due to political persuasion, and a Muslim singer being asked to sing at a Christian church on Easter (because that would happen, right?).My question, are Christians afraid of the truth? If they really want to find out if Christians are being targeted, compare apples and apples to see if this is true. What if a fashion designer turned down a same sex couple for their attire? What if a Muslim baker refused service to the same sex couple? I think most who sided against the bakery would feel the same way with the designer or Muslim baker, and I think those conducting the survey knew this and changed the circumstances to fit their agenda.
Why do people copy someone else's debate? Just today Cuaroc copied a debate originally created by FromWithin titled, "The greatest proof of God is the evidence of what non believers condone without him."What is the point of this? Come up with your own ideas.

No, cannot disciriminate
In reference to the following article, it seems many people believe a business should have the right to refuse service for any reason, largely due to a misunderstanding of how our laws work. What do you think? http://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/03/03/christians-who-refused-to-bake-a-cake-for-lesbian-wedding-are-appealing-135000-fine/#comment-13404653
