Is providing a sinner a business service a sin? Is that against the Christian faith?

If that service forces a Christian to provide a "wedding" cake for a ceremony of a union of sodomy when that Christian holds to the Scriptural teaching that marriage is a union of one man and one woman, then it violates the Christian's beliefs. And in a free society, no judge should have the power to compel anyone to perform that service.

Do you believe that a judge should have the power to compel a Jewish deli owner to cater a Neo Nazi rally on a Saturday afternoon and force him serve bacon cheeseburgers?

Do you believe that the courts should be able to compel a Muslim photographer to take photographs at a Bar Mitzvah and provide a nice album of the photos to the proud Jewish family?

Do you believe that Adam and Steve should be able to sue and get a judge to force Fred Phelps to officiate their very stylish wedding ceremony in the sanctuary at Westboro Baptist Church?

If a guy comes into the bakery and asks the bakery to make him a cake celebrating the fact that he is cheating on his wife, then the bakery should have the right to refuse to make the cake. If the same guy comes in and asks the bakery to make him a birthday cake, then the bakery should not have the right to refuse to make him the cake,at least based on religious reasons.

In the first example the guys is asking the bakery to make him a cake celebrating his sin. In the second example he is not.

I don’t why this is so hard to understand.

This bill wasn't about affirming or denying "sinners a business service," it was about protecting the owner of a business against being forced to participate in a ritual (aka gay nuptials, when all that's being performed is approving of men having sex with other men, sodomy) the owner considers immoral.

Next, are we going to force doctors and nurses to perform abortions because otherwise they are discriminating against a woman's right to choose and she also chooses the doctor's business service?
