Why can't they just leave her alone? Why are they attacking her beliefs and opinions? Why can't they just stop reading her reports?

They don't, but it would have made this a non story, and been better from a business standpoint.

They can say whatever they want, but they should be aware that others can too, as is happening.

The bakery that has since gone out of business, specialized in custom designed wedding cakes. That was her passion.

Businesses absolutely have the right to discriminate in this way. They cannot be forced against their will to participate in sin.

"Liberty for me, but not for thee."

Did the bakeries offer those kinds of cakes?

IF you can't follow the law, then deal with the consequences. I break the law, and have to pay the fine. I can't claim that Jesus made me do it to get out of trouble.

Is someone forcing someone else to open a business? When opening a business to the public, it's the business owner's choice. No forcing. No coercing. A freely made choice by an individual or group. Open...to...the public. Very simple. Easily understood by fifth graders.

Be intellectually honest about it.
They are free to say whatever they choose, as is everyone else, including those speaking out against them.

Do they OFFER those items? If not then they don't have to, just like taco bell doesn't have to sell TVs.

Well it looks like these dopes are being rewarded for the their idiotic behavior. They've raised $211,000 on a go fund me and it's growing exponentially. That's probably the amount of profit they make in 3-4 months! By the end of this they'll be millionaires. I don't want to live in this world anymore, why is everyone so stupid?

I would have not problem doing anything for a Jew. It's not the same thing. Your Jewish beliefs are the "root stock" of my Christian beliefs. According to New Testament scripture, the Apostles taught that Gentile Christians are "Jews by adoption."

It's astounding how hatred contorts the mind, isn't it.

Yep. Look what's happened? Remember Jan Brewer? She has brains. Pence, no.
