Got that?

I am offended over all these easily offended people.

Proponents of the conservative “Religious Freedom” strategy would have us believe differently. To them, a Christian business person is not only beyond a transaction based relation, they are an intimate who should have a personal say, and commentary on the lives of their LGBT clientele, lives in which most would say the business person has no stake.

The first amendment also guarantees the right to peacefully assemble. That includes for the purpose of business. Further, just like the other amendments provide protections both for and against forced exercise of the right; the first amendment includes the right to NOT associate with someone - even for the purpose of business. That is right, businesses have the CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to not serve you.

Well, if a pair of habitual shoplifters came to me and asked me to celebrate their thievery, I would politely tell them they are mistaken to believe that what they do is good and worth promoting. Tragically, homosexuals will not understand or accept that their behavior is not something people adhering to Scriptural ethics wish to give their stamp of approval on.

The stupid in this open letter... it hurts. It hurts my head.

[Pikachu_Dad]

Really? So why are you posting that trash here?

[Raycpa]

I think the difference in florists and bakers for weddings is the often find themselves present at the wedding to help set up things.

I’m getting kind of tired of answering that sort of question. Are we just here to talk about the latest Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh or Ann Coulter column?

God did not bring these couples to you so you could judge them. His intention was for you to experience your humanity by serving them. He intended to give you the gift of bearing witness to significant moments in their lives.

Uhm, I pretty sure God has NOTHING to do with you fascist sodomite freaks walking in and demanding service from a private business. Satan, OTOH, is surely working overtime on your behalf.

[OldSmaj]

There is so much crap and just out and out bullshit in this missive, that I lost my place several times, got confused on who says what to who, got lost in the apparent first-hand knowledge of what God is doing and thinking...my mind boggles.

What a self-righteous dumbass.

[gorush]

For the sake of accuracy I wish they’d use homonauseous instead of homophobic.

[DonaldC]

Y’all just don’t understand the nuanced argument. hehehe

[pallis]

God has already judged the act of homosexuality, and He didn’t take those couples anywhere. They went there of their own accord. And if those couples have any respect for the beliefs of others, they will brush the dust off their shoes, and go find a business that will work with them. But no, this isn’t about live and let live, each to his own perversion, so to speak. This is about revenge, about doing as much damage as possible to anyone who doesn’t kowtow to the corruption of the homosexual agenda. Go, and sin no more.

Yet a company can boot you out for wearing.a pro-life t-shirt and deny them their service. Equality will not be for whites or Christians

[2ndDivisionVet]

Is Sodomogravatus taken?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

God The devil did not bring these couples to you so you could judge them. His intention was for you to experience your humanity temptation by serving them. He intended to give you the gift damnation of bearing witness to significant moments in their lives. total destruction of your testimony.

Sorry, but no temptation comes from God. That is the father of lies department.

[Shimmer1]

I’m wondering what State Farm has to do with this at all.

[2ndDivisionVet]

It’s probably that “gay dad’s” insurance company and he wanted to take a pot shot at them in print.

[DiogenesLamp]

Really? So why are you posting that trash here?

I've noted he does it quite a lot and it used to make me wonder. I finally decided he does it to keep the rest of us informed as to what the opposition is saying and thinking.

He reads their nutburger commentary at their nutburger websites so that we don't have to. He is providing us all a useful service.

[DonaldC]

I always wonder, would these folks argue for:

A black owned dry cleaner business to clean KKK robes?
A jewish owned screen printing business to make neo-nazi signs?

Or anything else of the like?

These people are out to defeat people of Christian principles, nothing more or less.
