EXCLUSIVE: Colorado Baker Asked to Make ‘Birthday Cake’ for Satan
The Daily Signal ^ | October 13, 2017 | Kelsey Harkness

Posted on 10/16/2017 12:36:49 PM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

The Christian baker in Colorado who was sued for declining to make a cake for a same-sex couple’s wedding reception received a strange request last month: Design and bake a cake celebrating Satan’s birthday.

“I would like to get a quote on a birthday cake, for a special event,” the email request to baker Jack Phillips, sent Sept. 30 and exclusively obtained by The Daily Signal, reads. It continues:

It is a cake that is religious in theme, and since religion is a protected class, I am hoping that you will gladly bake this cake. As you see, the birthday cake in question is to celebrate the birthday of Lucifer, or as they [sic] are also known Satan who was born as Satan when he was cast from heaven by God.

The request for Phillips to quote a price for the cake also asks for an “upside down cross, under the head of Lucifer.”

The incident exemplifies the complexity of government laws mandating that those in creative occupations violate their religious beliefs in serving clients or customers.

This is a danger that lawyers for Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop in Lakewood, Colorado, say they’re raising before the U.S. Supreme Court, which in June agreed to take the baker’s case.

Phillips gained nationwide attention after declining to make the wedding cake for the gay couple, and eventually being found guilty of discrimination by a Colorado state agency and the courts.

Phillips has told The Daily Signal and others that his Christian faith not only doesn’t allow him to design and make cakes celebrating same-sex unions, it prevents him from designing cakes that involve such elements as witchcraft or explicit sexuality.

This is the inevitable result of all the $hit that has been happening in this country. Huge fines for refusing to bake a cake for gays. And now this. the author of the letter is daring the bakery to refuse. You know they will sue, and that’s what they are hoping for.

So, you work all your life and some phallus-inhaler sues your a$$ off for not going against your principles.

When will they go to a m*slim bakery and make the same demands?

They're no doubt working on an Hawaiian COLB right now. It will be “certified” as “authentic” by various liberal organizations.

What you do is: make the cake, and spell “Ha{py BerFdaye SAM”

Then charge them $800 and sue them if they don’t pay you.

And it’s so obvious that this is just twisting the knife in the baker’s back.

I’d love to know the names and occupations of the people who requested this, because I’d love for them to get a taste of the same knife-twisting they think is so cool...

What’s sick is their demented claim that their “religious liberty” cancels the baker’s religious liberty. If they want to celebrate Lucifer they can make their own (literally) d@mned cake - no religious liberty issue here at all, EXCEPT for the one who they are attempting to coerce to take part in a religion they oppose.

They could also use the (aptly-named) Russian SS-18 - Byeman Code Name "Satan" - I'd just like to point out that 6 + 6 + 6 = 18 - just kidding

October 26 so there's still some shopping days left!

Although she prefers untraceable money orders.

If the court’s decision favoring the gays is to be consistent, then this Christian Baker can also be fined for “religious” discrimination (After all, satanism is a religion). I can’t see how one decision (i.e. the gay wedding ) does not affect another (this current one).

With that first terrible precedent, The First Amendment has been all but rendered meaningless.

Maybe someone should request a Muslim baker bake a cake with Muhammad’s picture on it.

See how that works out.

Offer them a price of $10,000,000. Make it clear that the money will be donated to a strongly anit-Satanic organization.

The tyranny of the minority.

Those labeled as victims by the media and their incestuous politicians get to be the biggest bullies.

Saw a cartoon on this last week but can’t find now.

Look on the bright side. You can demand your local kosher deli make you a ham and cheese sandwich.

I’d tell him I’m not baking his cake. I’d further state that I’m not answering any court papers in the matter.
