Do you not understand my question? I will rephrase...does any baker of custom cakes have any reason to not make a custom cake if it against his long held religious beliefs. Can I ask the custom Muslim baker to make me a Jesus cake.
I understand this case was different. You don't need to explain that to me.
Does the Muslim baker have the Jesus shaped pan? Is it something that he would regularly make for a customer? If not then no.
There was another case where a "christian" went to a bakery and wanted an anti-gay cake made. The baker said that she did not do hate speech on any cake, but would bake the cake in the shape he wanted and sell the materials to write whatever he wanted on it himself. She won since she does not do anti-anything statements on any of her cakes. If the muslim baker does not do some type of religious decoration he would not be required to do so for anyone.
Go back to the taco bell example, they MAY offer custom services, but that does not mean that any and all options are available.

I love to keep repeating this to the ignorant conservatives......
Freedom of religion means freedom to hold an opinion or belief, but not to take action in violation of social duties or subversive to good order," In Reynolds v. United States (1878), the Supreme Court found that while laws cannot interfere with religious belief and opinions, laws can be made to regulate some religious practices (e.g., human sacrifices, and the Hindu practice of suttee). The Court stated that to rule otherwise, "would be to make the professed doctrines of religious belief superior to the law of the land, and in effect permit every citizen to become a law unto himself. Government would exist only in name under such circumstances."[27] In Cantwell v. Connecticut (1940), the Court held that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendmentapplied the Free Exercise Clause to the states. While the right to have religious beliefs is absolute, the freedom to act on such beliefs is not absolute.[28]
Their religion tells them that homosexuality is wrong. I don't agree with them. Furthermore, I agree that by law, if they are doing business, they do have to serve everyone who asks equally. On top of that, I voted against prop 8 in Cali, and for the right of gays to marry.
How so? The anti gay crap is in the OLD testament which Christians don't follow.

Speech is the more applicable clause here.
Human sacrifice violates an individuals rights. Not being served a hamburger by a private party does not. Service is not a right. Life is a right.
Does the 1a have limits? Yes. Where another parties rights begin and ONLY where another parties rights begin.

You can say whatever you want. You can tell a black customer when they come in that they are a dirty ni**er. But you still have to serve them the same that you'd serve anyone else, as of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Amazingly, people care what the owners of a bakery think about homosexuals.
Only because for conservatives, they take it as the next war on Christmas while for liberals, they see it as an attack on individuals.
