Maybe so but we don't decide for others their occupations.

If there is a need not being met maybe you should be a baker.

I can't bake, so I would make a lousy baker.

Jesus also said, "render unto Caesar"... meaning obey the damn laws. You're not going to go to a fiery lake lorded over by a guy with horns and a pitchfork if you have to make a cake for Jane and June.


BTW: no anti-religious person thinks that Jesus would lead abortion rallies, or gay marriages, or leading a pride parade (though let's be honest, he did hang out with 12 confirmed bachelors so let's be real about the likelihood of some very, very close bonds having been developed in such a situation).


These bakeries are such hyporcites: Anniversary cake for a couple "living in sin" (fornicators!?!) = no problem.

Divorce celebration cake? = no problem.

Wedding cake for a Hindu wedding that invokes false gods? = no problem.



The collective moral inconsistency of the religious right is showing and you're too busy with your noses in the air pretending to be doing God's work on earth you can't see what is obvious to everyone else.

Thankfully not all gays are militants or sabotaging POS. Thankfully there are also kind, caring, understanding, empathic, respectful gays who have no desire to be the unwilling pawns in a gotcha-game that deliberately harms others.

So, you admit that you can't bake that up?

Or, was that just a half-baked response?

Man, I'm fricken baked today.

Why should anyone care what you deem normal? Take your opinion to court and see how far you get.

wrong. when you supply anything for a wedding, it means you are supporting that wedding. and it isnt issues baking cakes, its issues baking a particular cake.

divorce is allowed in the bible, couples living in sin can be a problem for some, wedding cake for a hindu wedding, at least it is a proper religious ceremony.

You have it backwards. It is the customer who supports the baker.

In this country, survival has never been in doubt but it is also not the issue.

Divorce is only permitted under certain circumstances:

Jesus then answers, "Because of your hardness of heart Moses permitted you to divorce your wives; but from the beginning it has not been this way. And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery" (Matthew 19:7-9).



The "fornicators" are sinful per the very same passage that is used by the religious to condemn homosexuals! Don't you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God's kingdom? Do not be deceived: No sexually immoral people, idolaters, adulterers, or anyone practicing homosexuality. (1 Corinthians 6:9)


And baking a cake for a ceremony that invokes another deity or is part of another religion is literally breaking the #1 commandment:

“You shall have no other gods before Me.” (Exodus 20:3)




So.... do you have a point or something?
