A Christian baker refuses to bake a cake for a gay wedding and they get death threats and a HUGE fine. A Muslim murders a gay man by throwing him off a building and the left is silent.

From: Retain Mike Sent: Tuesday, July 14, 2015 10:13 AM To: WSJ Letters (wsj.ltrs@wsj.com) Subject: The First Amendment and Gay Marriage
The 2015 gay marriage ruling completes a rewrite of our Constitution. The First Amendment says and used to mean, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press….” In contrast the ruling on gay marriage helps illustrates how far the country has departed from first principles.
We are familiar with the term “speech or expression’, which seems an innocuous expansion of the above amendment. However, “expression” enables a nearly unbounded multi-billion dollar pornography industry.
Justice Kennedy’s majority opinion stated, “The First Amendment ensures that religious organizations and persons are given proper protection as they seek to advocate and teach the principles that are so fulfilling and central to their lives and faith”. Such language severely restricts religious freedom by happening to exclude “free exercise thereof”. Therefore believers pursue a hazardous course to exercise religious beliefs in business and personal lives.
Now we have country in which a woman can express herself in the adult film industry, but cannot start a bakery and exercise her religious convictions by refusing to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple.

Nordstrom drops Ivanka fashion line because she is the President’s daughter.
As a Christian professional photographer, do I have to do a pornographic shoot even though it is against my religious values? Pornographers have Constitutional right too—correct?
Nebraska state enabling act:
“That said constitution shall provide, by an article forever irrevocable, without the consent of the Congress of the United States:
First. That slavery or involuntary servitude shall be forever prohibited in said State.
Second. That perfect toleration of religious sentiment shall be secured, and no inhabitant of said State shall ever be molested in person or property on account of his or her mode of religious worship.”

The florist should have said “The flowers told me they didn’t want to go to a gay wedding.” Fight crazy with crazy.
“AN ACT to provide for the division of Dakota into two States and to enable the people of North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, and Washington to form constitutions and State governments and to be admitted into the Union

Liberals demand the freedom to boycott Trump but turn around and declare Christians have no right to boycott gay weddings.
Let’s not accuse them of a double standard.
no you don’t have to- you can refuse, pay a huge fine and go out of business and lose your home due to loss of income and become homeless- all for standing up for your moral values- Swell country huh?
Good there is not doubt her First Amendment rights were violated.
Ask any Liberal what Punishment should be unleashed on a Business Person who dares not Bake a Cake for a Gay Wedding?
What should be done to them, Financial Ruin, Prison, Amputation of their Hand, having their Children taken away and made Wards of the State, what would satisfy them?
It sure looks to me that Kennedy is saying that whenever you go outside the four walls of your home or church you are toast. That is tragic.
“The First Amendment ensures that religious organizations and persons are given proper protection as they seek to advocate and teach the principles that are so fulfilling and central to their lives and faith”.
or “Sorry, but I’m planning on having explosive diarrhea that day- Maybe the homosexual florist down the road can help you, no?”
As I said before get a gay version of a Shabbos goy to fulfill the order for the shops that don’t want to
They are treating Christians like they will take homos and chop off their heads in public. This is demonization pure and simple. The Left has a bad habit of demonization. It has become a cancer in our nation where shysters exploit it for their pursuit of political power.
Funny how all these religious rulings always favor atheism/homoism? Perhaps....bias? Church being run by State?
Hire a muslim flower arranger. See how it goes then!
The court used the examples of refusing to marry two muslims or two atheists. Of course, that would be discrimination if you consider Islam or not believing in a god a religion. But since when did homosexuality become synonymous with religion? I guess I must have been sick that day. These courts, especially those in Washington State and the 9th Circus, are making up laws as they go along. It has to stop!
