re: #184 Lidane

I just had an RWNJ ask me if I would be okay with an LGBT person demanding that a Jewish baker make them a cake on the Sabbath. I had to point out that their example makes no sense. If that Jewish baker is observant enough to not work on the Sabbath, their customers, both gay and straight, would know that because the bakery would close early on Friday and be closed all day Saturday. There would be no way to demand a cake on the Sabbath.

Right, it’s an absurd example. I’d be curious to know if any of these “Christian bakers” have turned divorcees, people with criminal records, etc. It seems to me that it’s an excuse to not serve gay people. It’s one thing for a pastor who is a religious official to decline to perform a service. It’s another thing when you’re talking about cake or flowers.
