What religious purpose do you see existing in a bake shop? If there is none, you have no reason to discriminate on the basis of religion.
Yep. Either that cake walks on water and heals my fibroids or I'm not really buying the excuse.

What does Texas have to do with this? The case is in Colorado.

No, what's cold-hearted is treating gay people like dirt.

No, it isn't. It is completely fair, completely Constitutional, and completely American.

No such law is needed.

I don't see how telling someone politely that they don't service gay weddings equals treating someone like dirt. Forcing Christians to pay ridiculously overblown fines, cursing, destroying their business and threatening their lives? Yeah, that's treating ppl like dirt.

Of course, we should bow and submit to the almighty gay agenda, huh? I wouldn't be surprised if Christians are executed in the future if they dare preach against homosexuality.

Freedom of religion doesn't exist in your version of the Constitution huh?

What about other people the bakery hates? Shouldn't they also be refusing to serve Hindus, for worshipping another god?

Of course it does.

We've already been over and over this. The bottom line continues to be that my rights end where yours begin. I don't get to violate your rights because of my religious beliefs, and vice versa. That is as it should be.

You're such a drama queen. The gay "agenda" is to be treated like everyone else.
