***They must also include why it was declined “so to ensure he has fully eliminated his religious beliefs from his business.”***
As I’ve pointed out to atheists/homosexuals who go nuts about this, this is about religious freedom, not discrimination. (As demonstrated by your quote.)
I always ask them, “so you are in favor of forcing a Jewish kosher deli to make ham sandwiches if a customer demands it?”
They go, no that’s completely different, to which I reply, no, it’s exactly the same.
I agree. Forcing a Jewish kosher deli to make a ham sandwich is exactly the same. The Jewish butcher says, “I will sell you and meat that I do; But, I don’t even DO ham.” Then he loses his case anyway.
This baker said that he would have sold them ANYTHING that he does do. He just doesn’t DO gay wedding cakes.
So, the homosexuals were not denied the ability to buy. They were denied the ability to force the baker to sell things he doesn’t sell.
It’s not on his menu.
Like asking McDonald’s for an Ostrich Big Mac.
