“Does a lesbian chef make lesbian food?”

No, angry food.

Maybe. But for libtards, hell and God are creatures of their own creation.

...no one should be forced to worship a deity they don’t believe in but, $1.6 million? Wow.

The owner should have made the prayer service optional and / or the chef should have demanded to be left out of the service. But the fine is really the only crime committed here.

But the point is to criminalize Christianity,
and “opting out” wouldn’t have furthered that goal.

You’re not gonna believe this one.

“He not only threatened her soul, but he also threatened her livelihood,” Smith told the New York Post in 2012. “He thought praying might cure her of her sexuality, but she is someone who didn’t need to be saved.

Yeah, I’m sure these meetings were “mandatory.”

No one knows how to lie like a sexual deviant.

While I agree that praying for this woman is a good thing, ‘forcing’ her to attend weekly prayer meetings is wrong. A wrong that is worth $1.6 million? Don’t think so! A more interesting question would be, if Ms. Salemi worked in a ‘halal’ restaurant and the owner insisted she go to the mosque every Friday for prayers, where they prayed for her, would she, or the muhamedan win?

I find it ironic that a lawyer speaks of ‘threatening her soul’! Most LLBs that I have met, do not believe in a soul and many operate without the appearance of having a soul or a conscience. Obviously, Mr. Smith also feels he does not need ‘to be saved’. His future looks very thirsty!

He’s threatening her soul, but then she doesn’t need to be saved.

Well, which is it?

Celebrate sin. So much for a separation of Church and State. The State is pushing its ways on the rest of society.

Next you will be told that you may not pray for the conversion of atheists and muslims.

But atheists will be protected to continue calling religious observers “idiots who will one day open their eyes to the fallacy of their superstitions”. That’s not a prayer, you see.

We’re becoming worse than all the corrupt banana republics we used to laugh at. Truth is apparently no defense.

“she is someone who didn’t need to be saved.”

Prove it.

We are all sinners. We all need to be saved.

Lawyers lie.

People tell me I am going to Hell on a near daily basis.

We have differing theology, big whoop.

I guess my skin is thicker.

Perhaps your query would be better directed to Mr. Derek Smith, her shyster lawyer, since he made such comments.
