The bakery that was shut down had a cross hanging on the wall and framed writings from scripture. Where they stood was obvious.

UH-HUH, Why did you deceitfully leave off where I most certainly DID state that I am NOT a Christian,hmmmmmm?!?!?!

I was deluded for decades and considered myself to be an evangelical Christian[so I know the bible], but am deluded no longer.

One does not have to be a Christian to know that abhorrent sex practices are a perversion and nothing more,and not want their children and grandchildren exposed to people of the same sex pretending to be a NORMAL heterosexual couple!

IMO~homosexuality is caused by either abnormal sexual promiscuity and a total absence of morals or a mental illness,or both.

So you don't believe in the scriptures you posted and yet you used them as evidence that your hatred of gays is appropriate? Okay.....

If that's remotely true, next time you want to justify your views, have the integrity to leave the Bible quotes out of it. Just be honest and say that your views on the subject are yours and yours alone and have nothing to do with scripture instead of hiding behind it.

And FYI, I didn't leave it out purposefully.... mods deleted many of your posts. If they hadn't, I would have quoted them all. They were very "instructive".

Now to just patiently wait for your response that says either the multiple videos in the link are faked or the people spouting this hate are not Christians......
The extremist far-left Christian haters at MSNBC, at it again. LOL.

Cenk Uygur, the MSNBC blowhard promoting this is lying, as is his standard practice. These fringe kook preachers believe that it would be hypothetically justified to kill homosexuals based on the old testament law, but extrapolating that out into them proposing that this actually be done right now is just not truthful.

Also, the Bible teaches that "The wages of sin is death" and "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." Christian preachers everywhere routinely teach that death is the price of all sin and that we all deserve to die because of our sin. Of course the Old Testament prohibitions are more harsh than that, but they also were Jewish, not Christian, and those statutes were specifically applicable to those people during that time, and have not been enforced in thousands of years.

While I will not use the terms all or never, as there is nearly always an exception to every rule, I still am not aware of a specific case of a Christian that has proposed the killing of homosexuals here in this country, much less actually done such a thing, as is apparently done periodically in Islamic countries in the Middle East to this very day.

Which case was that?

One bakery case the couple were referred by the venue they rented, the other they had been customers for a while and had family members that had ordered cakes there. The florist case they had been customers for 9 years.

I bet those guys purposely patronized that florist for 9 years spending thousands of dollars with them waiting for the day they would be legally allowed to get married so they could persecute her.

Not really. The couple in that case had been customers of that bakery, as had their family. Plus not all Christians feel the same about SSM.

Not really, how can you tell if they are one of the "live and let live" Golden Rule following Christians or one of the bigoted, anti-gay, baking a cake for you violates my religious freedom Christians?

Not all Christians hate gays and want the right to discriminate. Maybe the ones that do should post a sign that makes it clear what and whom they will refuse to serve.
