No private business owner should be compelled to do business with anyone for any reason, including race, sex, or religion. The US Constitution was not written to force Americans to surrender their private property rights, religious freedom, and freedom of association as a price of doing business. The US Constitution was written to prevent government from discriminating against people, i.e. equal treatment under the law for all! A privately owned cake shop is not a government agency, and therefore must be allowed to discriminate against anyone for any reason. That is liberty, my FRiends.

BTW, free--as in unrestricted--exercise of religion is an explicitly protected and enumerated right under the US Constitution, whereas gay marriage--US Supreme Court edicts notwithstanding--is not an enumerated, specifically granted right.

One of the reasons the court can get away with this is because so many people reject ALL religion, that they simply don’t care about ANY ruling that would legitimize religion in ANY way.

So when is someone going to order Pork Liver Pate’, Bacon and Brats from the Halal butcher for their Tim Tebow Tailgate Party and Prayer Breakfast?

This from a link in the SteynOnline archives. A bakery in Denver can refuse to make an anti-homesexual cake, but must make a homosexual “wedding” cake.

We American Christians have become soft. Christianity was born in an era where your leaders were madmen like Caligula and Nero. Followers of the Way were murdered in gruesome ways. Only one of the 12 original disciples died a natural death.

Yes, America was founded as a free country. However, our nation, like all nations except Israel, will eventually fade into the dust. We as Christians simply need to remember our salvation comes from the Lord and not from man...no matter how much we agree with them politically.

Sounds like bad logic even about what advocacy is. This was not about a blank cake but a wedding-themed cake.

Being that as it may be, perhaps it would show a better tie to traditional Christian beliefs to also be selective about what opposite-sex marriages get serviced.

The main requested caketop decoration must have to be a same-sex couple set of silly dolls. Otherwise, ANYONE purchasing just a simple generic wedding cake would not have to blubber on about it being a “gay” wedding to the baker. If I had a bakery; I’d just quit “decorating” wedding cakes & just make plain white cakes with white frosting & sell flower decorations separately so PEOPLE can simply decorate their own dern cakes themselves.

Jesus never promised freedom. He said we’d be persecuted. Buckle up.

There may be more cake available, but if I were the baker, it would be nasty cake, depending on my mood.
