What do you think the chances are that Lloyd and Nigel passed up 10 homosexual-owned bake shoppes and florists to demand that some straight, Christian businesses make their cake and arrange the flowers for their nuptials? This isn’t about hurt feelings or fairness, this is about forcing “breeders” to bend to their will, submit to their demands and make like they approve of gay marriage. Rubbing our noses in it is another way of putting it.
You are exactly correct.
But as a Christian, I could not do the ex-lax cake (even though I can appreciate the humor of the situation). Romans 12:16 ("To no man rendering evil for evil. Providing good things, not only in the sight of God, but also in the sight of all men."), 1 Pet 3:9 ("Not rendering evil for evil, nor railing for railing, but contrariwise, blessing: for unto this are you called, that you may inherit a blessing.")
Likewise, as a Christian, I could not intentionally do a bad job. 1 Cor 10:31 ("Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatsoever else you do, do all to the glory of God.")
That's why the alternative is yes or no. "Yes" is not an option, for the reasons you state. Therefore, it must be "no." And with "no", they'll seek to destroy me...so that's why I say just to go out of business and reincorporate at a later time.
Bingo!
Bake the cake. And have them write the check to “ Reverand “ Fred Phelps, Westboro Baptist Church. Two can play this game...
Who knows exactly what witches’ brew of motives stews in their heads. I want to say, to be fair, this group of show-off loudmouths has even seized the “gays’” own show. It sounds like the same cause on the surface — but it isn’t. This is not driven by twisted sex passion — this is driven by hate for society. Even sinning had more integrity than this only a few decades ago. And quite frankly the older sinners would have told you (and most of the newer ones WILL tell you by means of their actions) that “marriage” was about the most sex passion chilling thing they could think of. The most energizing hook ups did not come in a dedicated partnership. They came in the wild, sometimes without even seeing the partner! I have some spiritual theories about why and it’s more complex than simply blaming the devil (as fervently as he is involved in such things). It has to do with the meager resources the devil has to weave such illusions. It’s got to look like it came from God and too much reality spoils it. Ironically if we EXPECTED all homos to marry that would probably put most of their passion fires out pretty blessed quick.
Careful with the word "bend" in the context of this discussion.
