Christian Bakers Forced to Pay Nearly $137,000 for Refusing to Make Gay Wedding Cake Up the Ante in

Then you haven't read the thread.

 

On this thread...?

 

Some good points.

 

't

Don't count on it.

 

Or fight to change unjust laws.

Everyone benefits from roads, sewer lines, etc. No one should be allowed to command my labor against my will. That is unjust.

 

and yet you want my tax dollars to benefit a store that has anti-Jewish policies.

no sir. Not gonna happen.

 

The world knows it will happen.

 

No hee is incorrect.

You can defend immoral things from a Christian religious perspective.

People defended slavery with Christian religion people defended slaying witches with Christian religion.

People defended all sorts of immoral Acts with Christian religion prior to the Renaissance.

As long as people wish to do immoral things they will use religion to justify it.

 

Any store that sells ham has anti-jewish policies.

And no tax dollars don't support them these places pay taxes as long as you get to collect taxes indiscriminately people get to do business.

 

I disagree the 13th Amendment is not an exception. It's simply saying you can't pick your clientele based on rates sex religion and a few other aspects. But you absolutely can ba private membership sort of thing.

 

Just when you think the White Nationalist could say anything more ridiculous, there he goes, again.

 

So anybody that argues against your asinine position is a white nationalist?

Glad you are so incredibly reasonable and self aware.

 

What you're obviously doing in the present case, being devoid of any intelligent objections, is to insinuate that your opponent is looneytunes.

Which is a tactic you're welcome to. Won't hurt me none.

 

Well, the Three Stooges were my role models, so you need to cut me a little slack - I'm a victim of circumstance.



And speaking of, I'll bet Moe & the boys would bake the cake.

 

As I have been saying, now let's toss the rest of the lawsuits repay the bakers who were out the settlement.

Forcing bakers to make gay wedding cakes violates free speech, California judge rules

A ruling in favor of a California baker who refused to design a wedding cake for a gay couple produced a potentially significant distinction that could impact future similar cases.

Kern County Judge David Lampe ruled that the state could not force Cathy Miller, owner of Tastries Bakery, to bake a cake that would go against her beliefs, according to Kern Golden Empire.

“For this court to force such compliance would do violence to the essentials of Free Speech guaranteed under the First Amendment,” the judge said in the ruling.

How did he come to that decision?
A key factor in the decision was that the cake being requested by the couple was a custom job that was not regularly sold by the bakery.

The implication is that if the couple had requested a cake that was on display and routinely sold to other customers, it would be discriminatory to refuse to sell it to a gay couple on the basis of religious beliefs.

Here’s more from the ruling: “A wedding cake is not just a wedding cake in Free Speech analysis. It is an artistic expression by the person making it that is to be used traditionally as centerpiece in the celebration of marriage. There could not be greater form of expressive conduct.”

We'll be here for you when SCOTUS rules in favor of Hate Cakes - aka gay wedding cakes - BG.

 

We have this ruling I await your comments on it other than demeaning the judge. Where is he legally in error?

 

I'd suggest reading this thread for a deeper understanding of the issues.

And maybe have some of your favorite elixir ready when the SCOTUS ruling happens...

 

Can you try an intelligent discussion?

 

Could you hum a few bars and I'll fake it...?

Just be patient and wait for SCOTUS.

 

Bumping so that we don't have to endlessly reinvent the wheel in discussing the Lampe ruling.
