They could go to any number of bakers in the are who would be willing to make their cake- but they wanted to force THIS one to go against their religious beliefs
Oh, you wouldn't put anthing in it that wouldn't pass muster by the FDA...but an ingredient that was a natural strong laxitive....

Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
And destroy the baker’s business. Giving everyone at an event tummy distress but thinking no one will guess the baker is at fault is naive. The baker can expect health inspector scrutiny to end all scrutiny. In the meantime guests at the event are spreading the word that the baker “food poisoned” a number of people and watch his/her business crumble.
Why? Why demand that a baker make products that go against their conscience and faith?
To force compromise. To force them to act contrary to God.
GOD BLESS YOU, AND KEEP YOU Lorraine Fleming, for standing firm in Christ, “fighting the good fight”, and for understanding that outside of Christ, there is NO HOPE in this world.
We CAN do all things through Christ, who strengthens us. Philippians 4:13
you don’t seem to understand.....if you force me to do something, there is always the possibility.....possibility....that I will do something to you or your product that you will not approve of....I need do nothing, but I can’t understand why someone would do that.....put themselves in a position where someone could sabbotage your wedding.
I do understand. I have been in the position where I could have put something into the food I prepared and served, but the consequences would have been harm to a customer, no matter how repulsive I thought that person was, and the destruction of my business.
As for the thought process of the customer making someone do what they do not want to do, sure, they may briefly think “she might poison me”, but the next thought will be “I dare her. If she does, I will own her business. Those insurance companies have deep pockets.”
