And again, you refuse to even comment on the obvious - which is that all of this is almost always a scam - designed to trap Christian businesses into looking like fools. And it often works. You won’t touch that one, because you have no answer for it.
so, the very first person to whom this scam presented itself-—I believe it was a female baker somewhere in Washington State-—was supposed to realize this was nothing but a devious ploy, and so as to not make Christians look seamy, should have have just merrily baked the cake, all the while saying ‘there are better hills on which to die, after all’...
what’s that they say about hindsight-20/20 and all that sort of thing...
You use the same pathetic language of the homo-left. Perhaps you should slither off to the DUmp before you get zotted.
No, actually I’ve never heard the left say that. But I will say this, you are the fodder the left loves to parade around. Coingrats. You are driving people away from the Kingdom. I’m glad I don’t have to answer for that.
don’t be that stupid.....I never said anything about “the first one” - but smart people learn from the examples of others. I guess you’re saying you’re not smart.
Your words, not mine.
you should learn to read before you vent. Would save you lotta embarrassment.
“The answer lies in the fact that there are two types of laws: just and unjust. I would be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that “an unjust law is no law at all.”
Well how do we know whether a law is just or unjust?
A just law is a man made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. To put it in terms of St. Thomas Aquinas: An unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal law and natural law.
And this is where everyone starts to get uncomfortable. Is that MLK or Jerry Falwell?

Very good points in this article relative to Moral Absolutes. I would add this question; "How can a Moral Wrong be a Civil Right?"
Anyhoo, a whole lot of FReepers (Hello C. Edmund) are all over the map here in (mis)understanding some basic M/A truths.

No one “drives people away from the Kingdom,” they are lead away by their own love of darkness. Where do you read otherwise in Scripture?
Yes, the phrase you quoted about baking fake wedding cakes is almost VERBATIM from the leftist play book.
