The religious issue is being part of a homosexual marriage, something that is against the belief of the service provider.

Isn't homosexuality also against the religious beliefs of the service provider? So then how can the owner say that we're fine with homosexuals in one setting and dead set against them in another?

It’s not rocket science. If you don’t see the differentiation between serving gay people and not catering or being part of a homosexual wedding, you need to state why you thing these situations are the same.

Because they lost my at their hypocrisy. If one is using their faith to determine who they will serve then shouldn't they be consistent about it? Sin is sin. Homosexuality is a sin. Adultery is a sin. Yet I'd bet they'd be glad to cater a second wedding between divorced people. We do not get to choose what sins are really sins and what sins are kind if like sin. Tbe concept of gay marriage flies in the face of everything their religion teaches them. Fine, I accept that, and if they want to run their business based on their faith then I say without reservations that they should have the right to do so. But homosexuality, the underlying reason why the refuse to support the weddings, is a sin as well. So for them to say they're fine if gay people want to eat there just don't expect them to support their getting married seems hypocritical, and an attempt to have their cake and eat it too.

It isn’t the same issue based on plain bible teaching. Anything that is not sinful, you may help your enemies do.

Hmmm...maybe because in one instance he’s merely selling product, but in the other he is being asked to celebrate in he perversity...?

Cake? Pizza? Mix your metaphors much? But FWIW, I have no clue how you find hypocrisy in that stance...again it’s simply selling stock in the one case, and being asked to revel in perceived sin in the other...

“Because they lost my at their hypocrisy.”

No. You lost yourself and the argument when you can’t see the difference between tolerating something you disagree with (serving a homosexual at your eatery) and refusing to participate in an abomination to your religion ( catering a homosexual marriage ceremony ).

I doubt that you truly don’t have the intellect to see the obvious distinction. If you choose to support the homosexual agenda and homosexual marriage, have the balz to do it overtly, as opposed to looking like you reason like a 5th grade liberal.
