The Christian baker in Colorado who was sued for declining to make a cake for a same-sex couple’s wedding reception received a strange request last month: Design and bake a cake celebrating Satan’s birthday.
“I would like to get a quote on a birthday cake, for a special event,” the email request to baker Jack Phillips, sent Sept. 30 and exclusively obtained by The Daily Signal, reads. It continues:
It is a cake that is religious in theme, and since religion is a protected class, I am hoping that you will gladly bake this cake. As you see, the birthday cake in question is to celebrate the birthday of Lucifer, or as they [sic] are also known Satan who was born as Satan when he was cast from heaven by God.
The request for Phillips to quote a price for the cake also asks for an “upside down cross, under the head of Lucifer.”
The incident exemplifies the complexity of government laws mandating that those in creative occupations violate their religious beliefs in serving clients or customers.
This is a danger that lawyers for Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop in Lakewood, Colorado, say they’re raising before the U.S. Supreme Court, which in June agreed to take the baker’s case.
Phillips gained nationwide attention after declining to make the wedding cake for the gay couple, and eventually being found guilty of discrimination by a Colorado state agency and the courts.
Phillips has told The Daily Signal and others that his Christian faith not only doesn’t allow him to design and make cakes celebrating same-sex unions, it prevents him from designing cakes that involve such elements as witchcraft or explicit sexuality.

It isn’t the phallus inhaler, it is the COURT which allows it.
Best thing would have been to have just ignored the email request to bake the cake.
Well, at least they came out and revealed who they worship.
Nice of them to do that.
Can’t wait for the Democrat party to join in on this one.
Devil’s food?
Unside down cross.
antiChrist
But don’t take the request to be antiChristian hate speech, right???!
The problem is the lawsuit shopping. If the man refuses to make the cake, he’s sued. If he makes it and anyone claims to be sickened by it, he’ll be sued and shut down for health violations if not the lawsuit itself. If he makes it well, the liberal bullies win and use that case to beat up everyone else.
Lawyers and Leftist entertainers are the only ones permitted to turn down clients.
Some people already have to order a gay wedding cake. The bakery refused their request. No consequences at all. I think it is on YT.
More specifically, the main reason that pro-LGBQ state officials are getting away with using state government power to punish Christian business owners who are refusing to provide services based on the owner’s 1st Amendment-protected rights of religious and free speech is the following imo.
The corrupt, uniparty Congress left over from the lawless Obama Administration is still refusing to exercise its 14th Amendment power to make punitive laws that protect citizens from abridgment of those enumerated rights by activist state officials.
”14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
"14th Amendment, Section 5: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."
Patriots need to make sure that there are plenty of Trump-supporting patriot candidates on the primary ballots and pink-slip career lawmakers by sending patriot candidate lawmakers to DC on election day 2018.
It would be pretty accurate.
And with the image reproduction with the food-coloring jets, not that difficult to do.
My quote. Two hundred million dollars.
Let's take a closer look at the Quisling Editorial Board's "opinions":
Up yours [Nameredacted], and the cake your draft card burning mommie jumped out of!
So why don’t they make one that tastes like HELL?
If I was a baker, I’d probably think well it’s halloween and make it. Any other month, I’d probably question it as weird.
Why are these aholes going after Christians that bake cakes? That’s a rhetorical question, but I really don’t understand the hate they have for these people that aren’t hurting anyone. If they really want to hate someone truly evil, they wouldn’t have to look far (in the mirror).
I don’t get why the shop owner does just not make the cake. Make it a bad tasting cake. Do a poor job on decorating. Take their money and they won’t be back.
Raise the price on specialty cakes!
Hey now ... easy .... that's also MY birthday
It’s bad enough that I have to share my B-day with Hellary Klintoon
