I am more interested in the Obama Administration’s take on Civil rights.
See here:
Obama Inc. Sues Trucking Company for Firing Muslim Drivers Who Refused to Deliver Alcohol
If the Obama administration can sue a Transport company for firing Muslim employees for refusing to deliver alcohol, using violation of civil rights as the reason, why aren’t Christians being defended by Obama when they are forced to service gay weddings?
Muslims religious conscience now trumps Christian religious conscience?
Once he's gone (if he's ever gone), the country will snap back to its original belief (that being gay is a mental disorder).
Homosexuality isn't something new. It's been around forever and it never gains a real toehold in the civilized world because it is a perversion and nothing more.
“Muslims religious conscience now trumps Christian religious conscience?”
They have argued that there is nothing in Christianity that would prohibit baking things for a gay wedding and if you use that as an excuse why dont they refuse cakes for other sins or divorced people. I think fighting it on a personal freedom argument would be more effective. Better yet, I have advocated telling the couple you would make them a cake, but would then contribute their payment to an anti-gay marriage organization. That should dampen their enthusiasm to do business with you.
bttt
Alternatively, a contract requirement that the buyers display placards by the baker — just like many construction and renovation companies require — that say something like:
Proudly Baked By Alpha & Omega Wedding Company — May God Bless the Union of This Man and Woman in Holy Matrimony
A hefty liquidated damages clause for damage to reputation for failing to display or for defacing the sign, along with notice that the profits will be sent to a pro-traditional marriage group would stop the problem.
My dad was a psychologist during the period when homosexuality was treated as a mental disorder. The APA etc., was bullied by activists to change this view, per my dad's experience.
I choose else.
The old adage of “Be careful or you may get what you want” may apply to gay marriage. I see there now is no obstacle to legalizing plural marriage, child marriage etc. The gay community might find it harder to get their wedding cakes baked when bakers are now busy making very large cakes for plural marriages. I fully expect that polygamy will be legalized in 5 years likely by the decision of an unelected federal judge.
RE: I choose else.
You realize that if you choose else, as a businessman, you might be fined, jail and your business possibly closed down...
Or, in the words of Canadian journalist Robert Davies, “The love that dare not speak its name has become the love that won’t shut up.”
Thank you, Jonah.
I do not own a business and I’m never going to.
I find as the months and years go by I no longer want to participate in this society’s way of life.
I see where this society is bringing us, and it looks like Hell to me.
I don’t want to go there.
I create happiness from very simple pleasures that cost little money. I am mostly unplugged from the American system now, and I think I am going to try to perfect that way of life even more.
One of the key sources of happiness having the freedom to do what I want, and not what someone else tells me that I should do.
Whatever happens in my future, or doesn’t happen, I am going to leave this rock a free man.
This cultural embrace of homosexuality is a symptom of our descent into depravity. There are plenty of other sins, but this one proves that God has given them up to nonfunctioning minds. And all those who support this abomination are just as damned as those who participate in it, because they call God a liar in their support of it.
Nations who reach this level are unlikely to step back from the wrath God will pour out on them. They hate God and His rules and they’re destined to see His profoundly merciless side.
This isn’t a difficult formula: Obedience to God’s rules and faith in Christ = blessing; disobedience and hatred of God = wrath. But modern America prefers sin and wrath over obedience and blessing.
The idea of “hidden law” reminds me of the status of abortion prior to Roe v wade. I may get flamed for this, but it seems that in those days conservatives - and most of the public - wanted abortion officially proscribed, but were not particularly concerned about tracking down abortionists and prosecuting them, much less prosecuting women who had abortions. In other words, people wanted society to officially prohibit and condemn abortion, but were able to tolerate it a bit around the fringes of society. But now, of course, it has become mainstreamed and glorified as a constitutional right, subsidized with hundreds of millions of tax dollars, and promoted in the public schools.
