This guy was on FOX this morning with his attorney...

both of them mentioned that he couldn’t make a cake with those words and symbols...but didn’t explain what they were...though I waited to find out...

what words ??? what symbols ???

Personally I got fed up with the mystery...

I decided I’m not sympathetic with this guy...

why should I be when I don’t really know the reason why I should be ???

Since Modi was elected there has been a HUGE rise in Hindu attacks on other religions.. All my Christian Indian friends hate him with a passion... I guess they probably have a good reason...

Why should he advertise the beliefs he finds reprehensible?

Why does it take months for the justices to rule?

“But let us remember that it is a costly thing to follow Jesus.” If a man (or woman) wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus, he will be persecuted, wrote the apostle Paul. My wife and I may soon be housing a Christian refugee from Iraq who fled after she converted and her family threatened to kill her. A Christian knows that to trade away Jesus for a life of comfort is a terrible trade. Such people who have born the burden teach us who have known little.

Signing up to be a Christian is signing up for suffering. That is the primary motif.

Yet no one is holding a literal gun to our heads and threatening to kill us unless we deny Jesus.

The author is wrong.

The complainers called a government official to rain potential violence on the bakers head.

Eventually that will include someone from the government who will use a gun to enforce compliance, even at the cost of a persons life.

There are many examples of that right here in the US.

Meanwhile the Pope chastises Trump for recognizing Jerusalem as the capitol of Israel and disturbing the “ status quo” ( usurpers)

As soon as I heard they walked out of the shop and cried...that was enough for me.

Decorate your own damn cake. I'm sick of you folks.

Do what you want....Leave us out of it.

So Religious rights and Free Speech rights are black and white and undeniably explicitly written clearly in the Constitution, First Amendment. Where exactly is the homosexual amendment? How is this even a contest???? Outrageous!

The BJP government appears to have gotten caught buying votes in Gujarat. They had literally stuffed the ballot books with money, and there is increasingly significant evidence that they have been tampering with the Electronic Voting Machines, so that votes for other parties are getting recorded as votes for BJP. There apparently will now be a full re-vote in Gujarat using paper ballots.

This, plus the disastrous demonetization, the GST, and other missteps have largely soured the public on the BJP, and there is a good chance the INC will carry the next national election.

This in turn should drain away a goodly amount of the nationalist/radical hinduist sentiment.

From what my family tells me voting buying in one form or another is VERY common there. Esp in Tamil Nadu...

Demonetization was pretty much hated as well, the rich all had advanced warning to they didnt lose very much, the poorer folks suffered quite a bit.

I was really surprised at how much Modi was hated by the Christians there, and the ones here as well.

I'm sorry?

It's doesn't take but 2 seconds thought to accurately envision a gay wedding cake with two males as the cake-topper and the word "Congratulations." 100% what you'd expect. Pretty standard.

And that's offensive.

“Why does it take months for the justices to rule?”

It doesn’t. Rush had a talk with one of the justices, either Thomas or Scalia and they told him it takes about a day or two to make the decision. The rest of the time is writing the opinion, and then timing the release for ‘maximum effect’.

The last part, about the timing, is my input, because I can’t see why they always wait until the last day of the term before releasing the ‘big’ opinions, like Obamacare - but the rest was from the interview.

I pretty much confirmed this when the fireworks went off right after the first Obamacare case. The Dems melted down within days and were hysterical. Obviously someone tipped them off that they had lost. Then, later, Roberts flipped (for whatever reason) and Obamacare was saved. That’s why people think that some entity has control over Roberts at least in the rulings that are really important to the Left.

They have to make sure it won’t conflict with previous rulings, make deals, write opinions, etc.
Just think of all the problems a few commas cause us in the Second Amendment. That is what they are trying to avoid.

The words were “Holy Matrimony” with the symbol of two men kissing.
