Let us assume, for the moment, that individuals and organizations opposed to Indiana’s new Religious Freedom Restoration Act are well intentioned and pursuing their protests in good conscience. That may be more credit than most of them would give to people on the other side of the debate. But I’ve got a point to make.
The view of the opposition is that this law denies the civil rights of gays. They are convinced that those who support it are motivated by animosity toward homosexuals and revulsion at the idea that people of the same sex can marry. Opponents reject any argument that the law is meant to defend religious freedom. In fact, they don’t see how religion comes into it very much at all: How does equality for some people impinge on the beliefs and faith practices of others? they’ll ask. This is a plural society. So it’s a matter of “Live and let live!”
Now, if you really press them, you might eventually get a little bit of candor out of somebody: Sure, I can see how a Christian baker might feel uncomfortable making a cake for a gay wedding.
Still, they won’t give an inch on what they see as the essential principle at stake: When you’re in business to serve the public, you have to accommodate all of the public. And that’s as far as their thinking goes.
It is -- to be charitable -- as far as their thinking is likely to go, given the irreligious character of the current intellectual atmosphere. Let’s face it, moral philosophy isn’t a widely shared interest just now. Even churchgoers often find it difficult to express their moral perspective cogently. They might say something like: What about the Christian baker? Doesn’t he have rights too?

They do!
It’s called pedophilia.
Maybe they really want what they wanted in Sodom.
NEVER!
Bingo. They also have the media and Hollywood.
He doesn’t get it.....
being liberal and queer is about having no morals
Being liberal is about doing what ever you want with no restraints, no morals, no ethics, no codes

“COMMERCE BETWEEN MASTER AND SLAVE IS DESPOTISM” —Thomas Jefferson
Did Spartacus “serve” the public?
Genesis 19: 1, 4, & 5
1 The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city.
4 Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. 5 They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.”
No, they just recruit. The earlier, the better.
All this gays in military, gay marriage is just building the foundation. Ultimately, the end game is total access to the indoctrination of the children.
Showing them that chapter in Genesis doesn’t do much good ( not even to Presbyterian Church USA pastors who endorse gay marriage ).
They rationalize it to say that they engage in consensual sex (AKA LOVE), not rape like what these men of Sodom demand.
The title alone was great. Nothing more needed to be said.
Unfortunately, for the majority you are right. But there are always a few who see the light and repent. Hopefully more than we ever realize. We can only speak the truth and shine a light on the darkness.
Have a great resurrection weekend. He is risen!
> They don’t reproduce.
But they DO recruit.
They’ve expanded their recruiting from the family attic to the public school.
At this point, I wouldn’t mind doing some serious multiple cake-baking for a wedding. The economy really sucks, so doing some kind of cheap wedding would not be a bad idea for a lot of people.
Then branch out. Bake wedding cakes for ghosts and other make-believe people. There’s a fortune in it.
Now they are coming after me.
Yeah, but when it comes to disease, we all get charged a disproportionate amount to cover the diseases that they spread to each other. HIV is one where 2 percent of the population accounts for a majority of new cases of HIV infection. Do you have any idea how expensive and welfare-dependent HIV infectees are?
No idea.
That is indeed what the “gay lobby” wants - moral sanction.
But what they don’t realize is that they are just a tool of the left to criminalize Christianity.
That truth needs to be repeated. The homos need to understand that the left doesn’t love and support their goal of acceptance - they just want Christians punished, jailed, and killed.
I know a gay doctor in VA. who has a biological daughter by a surrogate mother. Poor kid.
