Hey T-Rob123, can I veto your stupidest line of the day remark in favor of the above?
SERIOUSLY? The baker received the same medicine. People called out loudly to not patronize this business. That is precisely what happened to Home Depot, JCP, Starbucks, etc...only it didn't work. Just so happens that it worked against the baker. Oh well.
Oh yes, totally equivalent since Home Depot, JCP, Starbucks all received death threats and went out of business thanks to Christians. Oh wait, that didn't happen. Hypocrite much?
Not really a good display of Christian behavior to call someone stupid and a bigot. That's the typical blowup defense from the liberal left though. But then again, if you don't believe in the Bible, I wouldn't consider you to be a Christian either.
I didn't call you stupid at all. I said you won an award for the stupidest line today. Intelligent people make stupid comments all the time, I don't know you well enough to determine if you are stupid or not.
Well, like I've said, religion is subjective. I would never, EVER claim to be the deciding factor on who's a Christian or not. I don't think that's my place. If you think it's yours, then I would suggest that that is extremely arrogant.

Absolutely? Again with the arrogance. Much like OP when he mentions beatiality and polygamy, you are talking about something completely different than homosexuality. Comparing the equal treatment of people who are gay with people who choose to smoke pot is so far off base it makes me wonder if you even have any sort of point or if you are just grasping at any straws because you want someone to go "wow, thank you for pointing out the ignorance of my ways and the brilliance of yours."
I didn't call you a bigot. You arrived at that label on your own terms after I pointed out your inconsistencies. So essentially, you're labeling yourself a bigot. At least you're accurate. Throwing out "liberal left" is a label too...naughty, naughty.

Death threats as opposed to..... ACTUALLY beating and killing people for being gay, the way you homophobes do?

I'm sure those companies did receive threats...they're very public and large. That should be easy to prove. They didn't go out of business--my point exactly...because the Christians calling for the boycott--yeah, their boycott didn't work. It just so happens when people found out about the baker and stopped patronizing him, he folded. One worked, one didn't. Easy concept.

You're starting to come up dry on your rebuts...
So you are now calling me a bigot while denying that you never called me a bigot. lol. Liberal left is hardly as as offensive as your label.

Try harder, you might get it one day
Nope, I am arguing from a logical perspective which is the government creating a protected class and now we must cater to that class. But because you don't have a problem with homosexuality, you think it's perfectly fine to force their rights over people's freedom of religion. If we bring out an example that you do find offensive, you counter with saying, oh that's not the same thing!
So one wacko preacher means all Christians support that? Most Christians I know believe in treating people with kindness and respect.
Yet you seem to be ok with labeling all homosexuals as wackos since some people allegedly made threats against a baker. Most homosexuals I know just want to be treated equally under the laws of our country.
