Really?!?
How many County Clerks deny marriage licenses based on a couple's Christianity? Oh, I know... 0!
How many pediatricians are turning away children because their parents are Christian? Could it be... 0?
Can an employer legally fire someone simply for being a Christian? Wait, I can't hear you... Was that a no?Can a landlord evict or refuse to rent to a Christian simply for being a Christian? Is there a pattern here?
What you are seeing is a very vocal reaction to a clearly unjust and inequitable legal arrangement. But while homosexuals are still suffering from very real harm from unjust laws, you have what? People talking about you. As best I can tell Christians have not received any inequitable treatment in the legal system or from the government. They are simply receiving the backlash of public opinion. People talking.
You are trying to compare systematic denial of equal treatment under the law to your hurt fee-fees. Come on, pull the other one... Please...

You do not understand what bigotry is, Vizio. The "poor Christian couple" paid DAMAGES for the very real HARM their intensive PUBLICIZING of the couple's names and address caused. They received death threats and almost lost the foster children they were hoping to adopt. That is what the money was for . . . NOT the unlawful discrimination.
There is no universal moral argument to support racism. None. No one can make a case that it is justified. You can't say the same about homosexuality. And despite the false sense of reality in this forum, many many people out there agree with me.
Homosexuality is immoral and thus, demands discrimination.
What is the utility of homosexuality? None.
Homosexuality is anathema to humanity. Every organism that ever existed on Earth evolved specifically to reproduce to propagate the species.
One has to be truly blind to not see that homosexuality is contrary to humanity.
Especially in this case, because there is no law. Laws must be voted on and passed by the people. What we have here, like in most states where "gay" marriage is "legal", is a court ruling by a handful of misguided souls who ought never to be allowed anywhere near public policy making.
Excellent post.
I'm neither religious or Atheist. It's all "fair game" to me!
I'm thinkin of opening a homo friendly catering hall.
This is a GREAT opportunity to make some serious cash.
I've noticed (by direct observation...since most of the people I work with are homo or bi) that you see very few broke homos. They are typically creative, smart, and ambitious...and flush with cash. Many are above average income, if not wealthy. They like expensive and stylish things...they want ALLLLLLL the frills.
I will be more than glad to take their money. CHA-CHING CHING!!
They won't need to find a compatible bakery either...I'll supply the cake too. For the extra charge, of course!
I don't need "The Law" to legally compel me to do anything...or religion...I have "MAMMON-The Great and Powerful" to do that. But I'm cool about it...I give away most of it I make.

Funny how it's now all about the death threats that the lesbian couple received when no one said a word about all the hate and death threats that the Christians receive. I even recall some people trying to justify it here. Unbelievable but not surprising.

Funny how you ignore the threats of bloodshed against the non-religious just two or three posts above your own. Not surprising though.
Why do you think that all voters who self-identify as religious agree with you?
Why do you think that all voters who self-identify as religious would be willing to carry out your threats?
Why do I think that?
They are not "my threats". They are simply the way things have almost always gone down throughout human history.
The history of the way things have always gone down in this world when "push came to shove"...THAT is why I think that. I didn't make the world like it is...it just happens to have always been that way.
But then...I'm sure you (and everyone else) already knew that.
Except, of course, for those that are tracked the same sex, it is very important to them and to the humanity.
It is sad to see that some people are still bigoted in this day and age of supposed enlightenment.
Particularly the bigotry and hypocracy of the homosexual community not accepting religions people for who they are.
