Despotism and OR go hand in hand.
I see! Then we are in agreement.
I hope the Christian Bakers read FR because your response was very informative and comprehensive. Thanks indeed for your input. I do hope something good comes out of these rot.
I'm a member of the Lutheran Missouri Synod (conservative synod).
The judge's church referred to is part and parcel of the national ELCA Lutheran synod, the leftist, heretical synod which rides along smugly on the Lutheran name.
From it's web page, this church states: "We welcome all God's children to worship with us regardless of sexual orientation or identity."
Type in "United Lutheran, Eugene" for an eye-opener read. The church even caters to convicted criminals, etc.
To each its own, of course, but now we know one of the places the corruption of the Constitution by this liberal judge emanates from.

Because there’s a strong belief throughout Liberalism (so not just on this one issue) that getting even helps you get ahead.
Part of that is example-setting: you get even to send a clear message to others not to oppose you. Result may include (as you point out) lingering and even increased resentment from their opponants, but then those opponants and their resentment will be silenced and submissive. Even when you’ve won dirty, you’ve still won.
The only effective way to counter this is what’s called malicious acquescence. Which is what happens in a tug-o-war when one side, knowing it’s going to be beat, simply lets go of the rope. It doesn’t get pulled into the mudpit while the “winners” get knocked back onto their a**es.
You're right; I haven't seen clarification of this either.
Yep.
It’s involuntary servitude, and illegal under the 13th amendment.
