You're welcome to post any sort of thing. However, if it makes no sense, you can count on people to point that out in reply. Anyone can object to any post, as well, and state their grounds for the objection. For some reason, that seems to bother you.
You can post anything. We can reply in any way. It's an open forum about religion, you see. Most of us appreciate that openness, and embrace it.

It's a simple question, that could be more easily answered than your gyrations in dodging it.

Also, point of order, your own argumentation has drifted from the French situation.

There are contextually appropriate circumstances. I view a pool and a bank as a public accomodation

Well... some of us are subject to the consequences of those rules, to a degree.
