And such are the wages of religious bigotry.
A real Christians would have helped this woman celebrate the start of her new family. A real Christian would have created the most beautiful cake in the world for this woman.
Actually
@Jazzhead you aren't the arbiter of "real" Christianity. You are of course free to advocate and practice your own interpretation of it, but some of us strive to accept what we understand to be the revealed Word of God in its entirety, including the first chapter of Romans. Love for others is not the same thing as niceness to others, particularly if that niceness avoids hard truths. There are hard truths in The Word that I don't like either, but "real" Christianity actually means accepting that God is sovereign, not me, so whether or not those hard truths hurt my feelings is simply not relevant to faith.
Nor are hurt feelings relevant to policy. I'll agree that the baker's comment to the woman was unnecessarily provocative, but he didn't call her an abomination and he is not accountable for her belief that his faith is somehow about making her feel bad. In fact his faith is not about her at all. You've argued, persuasively and effectively, that identity politics are harmful, and I join you in that conclusion. Perhaps the first step in repealing identity politics is not hoping for a clear decision from the Supreme Court, but instead recognizing that identity politics are to a large extent merely solipsism writ large, the self-absorbed insistence that everyone else's beliefs and values are somehow about me. Soothing the corresponding hurt feelings is not an effective basis for establishing policy, and certainly not an effective basis for preserving ordered liberty. We seem to be trying to build the edifice of law upon a foundation of emotion. It is simply not going to work.
"Real" Christianity is actually about humbling one's self to remain within God's will, as Christ did, and the real test is when His will includes some things we don't like; perhaps the baker failed at this in his remarks. Using the instruments of law to compel others to demonstrate respect for us fails as well, and I would argue even worse so.
