Where should there be "The right to refuse service"?

Except that segregation wasn't God's law, but gay weddings are a violation of God's law. By the Bible that is.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Do you (hypothetically) sell racially offensive cakes to white people and hispanic people and Jewish people? If so, then there may be an issue.However, if you refuse everybody who asks for racially offensive cakes equally, then it's not an issue at all.

OK, so nobody is going to allow Christians our Biblical stand against gay marriage. So be it. End of religious freedom in America.Five cases of Christian business refusal to provide a service for a gay wedding, five sued, one fined. And counting.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Excellent. The real Christian values of loving thy neighbour have got a little bit closer; whilst the superstitious, bigoted and medieval beliefs of the crazies that believe Gods talk to them personally are pushed further away.Another few hundred years and we may yet achieve the kind of society that Jesus would approve of.

it is not loving your neighbor to approve of sin that is going to take them to an eternity of suffering, loving your neighbor means calling sin sin.

That's not what the segregationist said.

You may have a point if the baker required every single one of his clients to fill out a lengthy questionairre that delved into what sins the client may or may not have committed, and then doled out cakes according to which clients had not committed sins.

Where in the Bible does it say not to sell cakes to gay people?

I'm talking about doing anything that SUPPORTS sin, not some requirement to confront every sinner that walks in the door, which is everybody. To provide a service for a gay wedding is to do something that supports sin, treats it as not a sin. That's why we don't want to do it. Selling baked goods of any other sort to any kind of sinner does not do anything to support the sin, but providing a service that specifically supports the sin of gay marriage does.

Since when? Where in the Bible does it say that if you bake someone a cake that you are supporting their sin?

As a matter of fact EVERYBODY is going to allow Christians your Biblical stand against gay marriage. We feel very strongly that you are allowed to do this.You are confusing being forbidden from refusing to provide certain services to certain classes while also providing those same services to other classes with being forbidden to take a stand.You are welcome to take a stand in front the US courts if you like.
Or you can stay on the right side of law, and the commonly agreed norms of decency, and stop providing those specific products or services you cannot serve to one class, to anybody. You can keep on with other services such as portrait work, birthday cakes, DJing for corporate gigs. And you get to say and write whatever the heck you like, more or less! They came for the atheist ending their freedom by saying 'you will not discriminate on grounds of religion'.
Then they came for the xenophobe saying 'you will not discriminate on grounds of nationality'
Then it was the racists...the colourists, the sexist and the ableist.And when they came for the homophobes, I mean homomisians, homosyzygyadiakoneoists?? No Abrahamians! Erm, Christians, no Protestants, no evangelical conservative Christians. Wait got it.And when they came for the True Christians, there was nobody with any freedom left to fight for them.Edited by Modulous, : No reason given.

Righto, as I said, though you preferred to ignore the obvious context, so I'll repeat it complete with context: OK, so nobody is going to allow Christians our Biblical stand against gay marriage by refusing to serve a gay wedding.

Read the thread, Taq, it's all there.A WEDDING cake for a gay wedding would be supporting the sin of gay marriage.A wedding cake is no ordinary cake. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Read the Bible. Where in the Bible does it say that baking a cake for a gay wedding is the same as supporting homosexuality?

First, you would have to point to where the Bible forbids christians from selling a cake to a gay couple for their wedding.Second, you would need to show that religious freedoms includes the right to discriminate as part of a business.Edited by Taq, : No reason given.Edited by Taq, : No reason given.
