Not to mention the unmarried woman wanting a cake for the baby shower, or the pregnant woman buying a wedding cake.

Why aren't you asking these people to prove that they aren't sinners before you take the order for the wedding cake?

(This has nothing to do with swingerrs or any other silly comparison you come up with. Just address these circumstances and tell us why you'd make the cakes. We already know you will make them, and probably deliver them too.)
why are you so worried about others? Why not simply live and let live? I can never understand why some people are just so bound and determined to force everyone else to endorse their lifestyle.

It's a concept called "equality." Advanced civilizations and evolved people believe it is an important concept.

Not a huge surprise that fundies don't.

Yet, it is not a lifestyle like that which you have endorsed, and want others to follow.

Nor do I expect others to violate their consciences to endorse my lifestyle. You don't wish to be a Christian? Ok. That's your choice.

Yes, that is a choice, whereas, being born a certain way isn't.

The question is, why do you believe we should cater to some sins that people claim to be born with, but not others?

Try telling that to all the gluttoness Christians. I'm not baking you a cake because you need to shed a few pounds. The hypocrisy of fundies is astonishing.

OK. So fat shaming is ok, but it's not ok to refuse to compromise my convictions in regards to catering a ceremony I object to?

I was born a large baby. I've been fat my whole life. I was born this way. Don't I get a pass?

No, not at all, a fat person calling out assumed sin in another is hypocrisy. I guess from your response you could cut down on how many donuts you eat.

Then, why are you shaming people for being born the way they are?

I have never seen a bakery turn anyone away for being overweight?
