I was thinking more along the lines of the old joke about the woman who was amenable to the proposition of having sex with someone for a million dollars, but was offended when offered ten. If the baker will abandon his religious principles for money, the amount is irrelevant.
The baker could always just outsource the cake to another baker willing to compromise his principles.
There is a huge piece of me that agrees with you. There’s another side of me that realizes 135,000 dollars could totally break most American families. It should be an extremely difficult thing for us to ask martyrdom of another Christian family. We can rejoice when they do so, but we should be understanding when they are crushed and give in. I think for most of history, the worst torture was always having the lives of one’s loved ones threatened with torture.
