No halal butcher has pork on his menu of services.   The baker says he offers wedding cakes.   

Say what you mean and mean what you say.   That isn't a Christian concept?

And no baker says he has gay wedding cakes on his menu of services. Just like a halal butcher doesn't have pork on his. One makes wedding cakes, one sells meat.

You're mixing and matching general and specific as it pleases you to suit your definitions and beliefs.

That's easy - for a Christian baker that would mean weddings are between a man and a woman, just as for a halal butcher meat for food would be from a cloven-hoofed ruminant.  It's very clear.

There is no way you are a real person that believes this.  This is a person sitting behind their computer and laughing their ass off at those of us stupid enough to respond to this level of troll.

He sets inaccurate expectations of what a "Christian" believes, then forces everybody to live up to them.  If they fail, he screams "hypocrite!!!"  Which Alinsky rule is that?  I forget....

No Christian baker has homosexual "Wedding cakes" on his menu of services.

Not at all. You are ok with a Muslim selling only halal meat. He advertises as halal and operates accordingly.

You should then be fine with a baker advertising that he/she only does cakes for biblical weddings, as long as they state that up front.

"Private transactions between citizens" are not at issue here, but rather commercial transactions, in the stream of interstate commerce.   The Constitution most certainly permits the peoples' elected representatives to pass laws that regulate such commerce, and curb your "freedom" to cheat, lie or discriminate with respect to such dealings.

NO IT DOES NOT. Total bullshit. The federal government has absolutely no such authority and is in FACT creating bias against religious people (Judeo-Christians particularly) under the color of law.

The various STATES can arguably have that authority, but *NOT* your socialist federal behemoth.

But the govt and the liberals don't see it that way. They allow one but not the other, favor this group but not that, promote one belief and morality over the other. Practice selective equality and hide behind the 14th, as if it is superior to all other amendments, which they can't enforce equally to start with.

You're right.  More people have died in the name of God than any other reason.   Maybe it's time to wake up and realize the foolishness and destructiveness of man's obsession with religious tribalism.

 

That is actually bullshit too. go research it. In the last hundred years, more people died from communism (which you espouse) and dictatorships than anything else - and in second place, infants murdered in the womb.

I don't hate Christians.  I don't care much for bigots, though.
The only bigotry I see is being aimed at someone who has specific deep beliefs related to their relationship with their deity.

The baker had served gay people in the shop before, as I am led to understand, so it wasn't a bigotry against gays.
However, the idea that two people in a same sex union is the equivalent of the sacrament of Holy Matrimony, doesn't make the grade with Bible believing Christians, and to create a wedding cake for such an event to celebrate it doesn't either.
No bigotry, just a desire to NOT create something, based on a deeply held religious belief.

But you have left out that a devout Bible believing Christian will not see a civil union between two people of the same sex as a "wedding".

Would you require him to bake a "wedding cake" if someone was marrying their dog?

You know the answer to that.

Today he will say the idea is ludicrous.

Tomorrow he will argue that refusing to do so is bigotry and criminal.

Sexual orientation as a protected classification, by and large, remains a function of state or local law.   That's certainly the case with respect to discrimination in the conduct of a public accommodation.   The Colorado baker ran afoul of local nondiscrimination rules, not those of the "socialist federal behemoth".

I hope his business is doing well.  The brainwashed followers of the Gay and BLT agenda are a vindictive lot and draw the weak minded into their web of deceit.

how in the hell did you contort selling a cake to being interstate commerce?

The customer has no knowledge of the baker's peculiar religious beliefs. All he/she knows is that he advertises to sell wedding cakes.  Not all weddings are religious in nature (I suspect that most aren't).   He/she enters the shop, and is arbitrarily turned away.  Why should the baker's "religious freedom" be a license to discriminate?
