OTOH, I have a MAJOR beef with "christians" like you, who think you own society and have the right to dictate policy to other persons. Stop doing that, and I'll ****.

That is not true. You seem to want everything you do to be considered practicing your religion, Finn . . . and then claim you are being prevented from it. (All use of "you" from here on is GENERIC) Running a business is NOT practicing your religion. You do not get to claim you are practicing your religion selling pizza. You are selling pizza and you cannot discriminate against customers you think are sinning against your religion and call it practicing your religion.

Well, homophobia is basically hate and it expresses itself in many forms of stigmatization and oppression even killing of LGBT people. That's why those who believe in the bible are not seeing that hell is just around the corner if they don't get rid of their own homophobia.

Being a follower of Christ is not a part time hobby, which you practice only when you feel it's convenient to you. It is a full time job.

If gays don't repent and sin no more, it will be facing them head on

Full timers do not deny the LGBTQ community their rights. Come up to the big leagues. Give up puttering around with God as your part time love.

They do whatever they think will honor God, even if it means that someone will have to go to another bakery.
