You have a valid point, but the pattern of behavior is clear. Progressives like these women demand entrance into a space defined by religious views they disagree with. Then, once inside the tent, they decry the teachings that they knew they would disagree with. Then they sue, costing the business enormous amounts of money, and possibly driving it into insolvency.
How many times has this scenario played out?
The Bible says to be in the world, but not of it. It is difficult to not be of the world when you accept the world’s premise that you must conform to the world’s rules - at penalty of forfeiture of your own rights.
“Then, once inside the tent, they decry the teachings that they knew they would disagree with.”
Yeah that’s what I see happening too all the time. You’re right this is a pattern of behavior. Seems to come down to where the line gets to be drawn. I think that we could have erred on the side of admission of the children into the daycare center. And then give the attendees the option to withdraw because of the teachings and atmosphere.
I think the outcome is the same, it will end up in the courts. However by excluding the children the daycare center has placed themselves in the position of defending their right to exclude children rather than defending their right to teach. Even though the 1st amendment allows both.
But one is a darker defense than the other. And as we know these days ‘feelings’ is more important than law. So from a ‘feelings’ perspective I would have sided with the gay couple in this case because we’re punishing the children for the sins of the parents. However, at the same time the gay couple is clearly looking for trouble. From a constitutional/biblical perspective there’s really no question about the legitimacy of the day care centers position. We’re dealing with ‘OPTICS’ here and also faith in the power of the gospel to overcome the evil attacks from the other side.
