Sorry I’m not feeling sorry for these bakers, not because of them taking a principled stand in support of their beliefs, ( which is wrong anyways. Don’t remember on either occasion where Christ feeds the masses with bread and fish and tells the Apostles “pass this out to everyone, except the f@ggots!”) but because they won’t ever get rid of theses idiots. They need to bake the crappist tasting cakes, and cookies for these idiots so they would never want to come back.
Riiiiiight. Because "crappist" cakes would never result in yet another lawsuit.
Get real.
I never was all in for pink is for girls and blue is for boys, so if it was just what the colors mean to the customer I would have just baked the cake. It actually sounds like a set up to me.
Very clear scripture by Paul to the Corinthians. If a believer’s conscience is violated in doing something then to him it is sin. In this case it’s obvious that the baker’s conscience was violated to make a cake for these customers who sued him. According to the scripture, he should not bake the cake. Romans 14:23
I understand he's a Christian and wants to be be true and forthright in his beliefs. But after 10 or more years of abuse by the legal system it wouldn't blame him for saying: "Sure, here's your cake. I think I really did my best work on this one" and hand them something which looks like a pile of dog shyte.
In one way, it would be a poke in their eye, but in another, they would have succeeded in sullying his righteousness, which is really their goal after all.
And this baker is will to sell anything on his shelf to a gay, But, like Christ, he will not cater to an event or celebrate a lifestyle promoting sin.
