Evangelist Franklin Graham, son of famed preacher Billy Graham, decried a decision by Oregon officials to fine bakers Aaron and Melissa Klein $135,000 for refusing to make a wedding cake for a lesbian couple, calling it unbelievable.
Brad Avakian, Oregons Bureau of Labor & Industries Commissioner, upheld the ruling that the Kleins have to pay the lesbian couple $135,000 for a long list of alleged damages including: acute loss of confidence, high blood pressure, impaired digestion, loss of appetite, migraine headaches, pale and sick at home after work, resumption of smoking habit, weight gain, and worry, Graham wrote. Give me a break.

The Christian Bakers should assert:
high blood pressure, impaired digestion, loss of appetite, migraine headaches, pale and sick at home after work, resumption of smoking habit, weight gain, and worry,
are all obvious results of maintaining an abnormal lifestyle...
The left will studiously ignore any Muslim businesses that refuse to cater to the homo-agenda.
The whole issue had the goal of criminalizing Christianity, not “religion”.
With or without convictions or even charges, this option needs to be on the table. It should make even Obama's thugs slow down a little, which may give real Americans time to wake up. Sadly, we do need time when it comes to shifting our focus from being productive and taking care of our families to reining in a government that shouldn't need to be reminded of constitutional limits on its power. I hope to hear the totalitarians whining a quote from Isoroku Yamamoto:
"I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve."
Sorry, your anger at me is unfounded.
I merely pointed out these Church Leaders had a plan. 14 days after Obergefell v. Hodges, that’s the rallying cry?
Ok. Then.
What he always does. Anf the Pope. And every megachurch pastor and the overwhelming majority of christians do. Not a damn thing.
Except fundraise off it. And expect someone to fix it for them so their incomes and lifestyle remains unchanged.
How many Catholics left the church after multiple unbiblical acts by the Pope?
How many walk out of a service when the left wing preacher pushes the left wing agenda?
Very few. They cannot even do that much. When they feel enough pain, maybe then, maybe not.
I am certainly on the side of the Christian bakers, however, if we Christians are going to do business among the nonChristian world, then perhaps we need to be a bit more savy. For instance, in the case of these bakers, could they have told the customer that “sorry, we are all booked up for this month, we are a small family operation and so can only do so much”. Or they could have sub-contracted out the baking of the cake and took no profit markup themselves. In other words, find a way to not bake the cake themselves, at the same time no riling up the customer.
Once the LGBT people realize they are not going to be able to put us in a compromising position, suing will not be an option to them anymore. It’s sort of like having places as gun-free zones...... And that is where the criminals will chose to do their evil deeds because it’s easier and safer for them.
The answer of course is: nothing.
But I expect you already knew that and just showed up to mock those who are trying to line up opposing support.
When all is said and done they won't need limp-wristedness from backbenchers like you anyway.
Buzz off.
Can you imagine how high the fine would he if he hadn't?
If I file a lawsuit that seeks damages for emotional and physical duress, I have to show the court my medical history, treatments, and medications. So how can the “judge” rule just by taking their word for it?
I see they didn’t claim to have a loss of consortium though.
I agree; I’m a stickler for that. But, FR is a stickler for people sticking to the actual title of the article. I copied and pasted.
Hey, I’m a Christian and I’m down for a freakin’ armed revolution. And I ain’t kiddin’.
Hey, I’m a Christian and I’m down for a freakin’ armed revolution. And I ain’t kiddin’.
As I said once already, I’m a Christian and I’m ready for an armed revolution. God as my witness.... I mean that.
Don't ask questions!!
Someone with the clout, wherewithal and the bully pulpit to do so, PLEASE CALL CHRISTIANS, AND ALL PEOPLE WHO HOLD TO TRADITIONAL VALUES, TO AN ARMED REVOLUTION. In the Bible, God told Israel on more than one occasion how to deal with their enemies: Go in and kill ‘em all. Kill the kings, kill the men, kill the women and kill the livestock. I’m tired of being called to “pray”. I believe in prayer but FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD. Ref. James 2:26. Let’s get it on.
The recent Oregon bakery case proves that “sex rights” (NOT found in the First Amendment!) can trump even religious freedom rights (featured FIRST in the First Amendment!) Since gonads are now worshipped more than the God who made them (thanks to the godless US Supreme Coup’s political tyranny), Oregon should change its name to “Oregonads”! And everyone should visit Google and indulge in “God to Same-Sexers: Hurry Up,” “USA - from Puritans to Impure-itans” and “Universal GAYety is Coming.”
The Nation of Islam bakeries, may need a visit.
