Re: Why are choices fair game?
Faith writes: So we're going to have to take punishment for upholding the Biblical view that homosexuality as a sin and refusing to do anything that validates gay marriage.
You'll lose your business licence for refusing to serve gay people or black people - the same as you'll lose your business licence for having cockroaches walking across the customers' plates. If you're "punished" for refusing to comply with community standards, at least every other religion (and atheists too) will be punished according to the same standards.

lokiare writes: Homosexuality is simply a choice of sexual partners it does not inform the rest of your life.
Y'know, I couldn't care less whether homosexuality is a choice or not. The point is that somebody else's choice of sexual partners is none of your business.

If you read it "properly", the Bible also condemns maraschino cherries.

Re: Courts strike down anti-gay maraige in Arkansas and Idaho
frako writes: So let me get this straight Christians are in a no win situation in this case as if they dont serve gays they will get fined, but if they do God is gonna send them to hell for baking a cake for a gay couple?
Damned if you do, fined if you don't. Sounds like a fair trade to me. Apparently fundies take get-out-of-hell-free literally - tax-free, fine-free.... Next they'll be wanting a free lunch - and damn you for persecuting them if they don't get it.

Re: You knew sinners bought cakes when you baked them.
Faith writes: The issue I'm talking about comes up ONLY when someone requires ME, me personally, to do something that actively and consciously violates my conscience or my moral standards.
I don't see why baking a cake should violate anybody's conscience. Would it be reasonable for a sales clerk at The Gap to refuse to sell socks to either of the grooms?

Re: You knew sinners bought cakes when you baked them.
Faith writes: Like if you were asked to inscribe "White supremacy reigns" on a cake. Would you do it?
The first thing I would do is check to see if the customer had brown eyes; if he did, I'd tell him he wasn't really white. Your turn: If you were asked to inscribe "Happy 4.6 billionth birthday, Earth" on a cake, would you do it?

Re: sexual aberrations
Faith writes: ... it's about a misapplication of marriage....
I agree - but it's the anti-gays who are misapplying it. Marriage is a government-sanctioned contract between two people for the purpose of sharing government-sanctioned benefits.

Re: evidence
Faith writes: No but homosexual lifestyle IS a behavior....
I just saw an interesting movie called Albert Nobbs. Set in Victorian Ireland, it concerns a woman who has lived as a man for thirty years. At one point, she meets another woman who is living as a man and is married to another woman. There is no mention of "homosexual behaviour" but the couple do love each other as any other husband and wife. So... question: If two women or two men were married to each other for the tax breaks and the hospital visitation rights and they didn't engage in "homosexual behaviour", would that still offend your sensibilities?

Indeed it is. So why would a culture deny its own expectations?

Re: One little quote is wrong and he calls it "Christian pseudohistory" Sigh
Faith writes: I'm getting tired of being let down by my sources. I've had in mind for a long time that I need to get my own index together of references that I can trust on every subject I talk about.
Does it occur to you that maybe there are no sources that can be trusted to back up ideas that are blatantly false?
