Who would want to buy a cake baked by someone that vehemently did not want to bake it?

Quigley says

The courts have ruled many times that art is speech and thus protected. Cakes, photography, and even flower arrangement can be considered art and thus protected free speech. First Ammendment is a real bitch for progs! All kinds of things they hate with speech and religion and assembly.

Ah--so a cake is free speech? That's your Constitutional argument?


anon_28052 says

What a Christian cake, with a cross on top, from a devout Wahabi Muslim?

Nope--once again, Christians are not a protected class. Look up "protected class" and you can learn about what types of discrimination are against the law.

Looked it up for you:
"Federal protected classes include:
Race.
Color.
Religion or creed.
National origin or ancestry.
Sex.
Age.
Physical or mental disability.
Veteran status.
Genetic information.
Citizenship."
I believe Christian falls under religion.

You mean we can't say anything we want that ridicules Christianity? I know we can't with Islam.

Strategist says

That falls under the first amendment.

The bill of rights are constitutional law but also a list of inalienable rights not given by law but possessed by humanity.

Ok by me if you ridicule christ, allah, god, mohammed, even joseph smith.
It's your God given right.

Religion is a protected class.

Federal protected classes include:
Race.
Color.
Religion or creed.
National origin or ancestry.
Sex.
Age.
Physical or mental disability.
Veteran status.
And in many states, sexual orientation.

But when two protected classes clash, the best solution is to refrain from giving th government power to force anyone to do anything about it.

Also for those of you who are confused, the first Ammendment gives you freedom of speech to say anything you wish about any religion at all. You can say Mohammed was a pedophile murderer psychopath and the government can not punish you. The first amendment also bars GOVERNMENT from making any law respecting or restricting a religion or religious practice.

Like I said above, it’s a pesky little Ammendment for progressives, who wish to “progress” to a Totalitarian State!

Allah and Mohammad are my favorite assholes. Good thing one never existed, and the other is dead.

Agreed on both. The problem with "protected" classes are that people are not equal anymore after those laws who are really at their core unconstitutional. And it is extremely easy for government to abuse those laws and selectively enforce case, which is already the case in most of the western world. If you bbq pork in front of a mosque or object to an oriental prayer-room in your company you're fucked, if you're Christian and demand prayer-room or even break at your work place you're laughed at.

mell says

selectively enforce

Selective enforcement is unconstitutional. The phrase "protected class" can cause confusion; in reality, there are prohibited classifications, e.g. race or color. For example, you can sue for race discrimination in employment regardless of whether you are white, black, or any other color. If Chobani says the CEO's Muslim religion requires him to discriminate against disbelievers, please get that in writing or otherwise on record. Alas, since Hobby Lobby, even large and seemingly secular corporations can impose the managers' religious beliefs and claim exemption from laws of general application, so Chobani yogurt could conceivably claim the CEO has a right to kill disbelievers or at least subordinate them.

anonymous says

Evidence from a national survey experiment.

Interesting survey, though it asked only about photography, not cakes. It found a huge disparity between Evangelical "Christians" vs the population as a whole:



Sometimes majorities of Evangelicals say things that make me question if they are really Christian:

curious2 says

I like what this sign says, however it is a complete lie. The Bible is clear about it's hate towards Gay's. It says they are going to hell, period. Therefore a gay person can never be a true Christian.
What I see in this sign is an ongoing reinterpretation of the Bible for the positive. They reinterpret slavery, blasphemy, gays, burning witches etc. Awesome. It's a sign of becoming civilized.
Can you name another religion that continues to interpret it's religion the way it was written? I'll give you a hint. They are barbarians from the 7th century, stuck in a time warp.

Guess that’s been decided. 1st Ammendment trumps civil rights commissions!
Hurray for the Constitution!
Suck it, Leftist fucks!

Quigley says

Just because you sit on a Civil Rights Commission, you don’t get the right to start violating the Constitution. I’d give this case about a 95% chance of favoring the baker, with probably a 7-2 split. The two will be Obama’s trash, Kagen and the “wise Latina.”

Damn, I’m good! Although it was Ginsburg and the wise Latina.

Quigley says

Gay rights haven’t been about rights for twenty years. They’ve been about enforcing their brand of morality onto the country. Same as any religious asshole. Only difference is these assholes like to get dicked.

This

Finally short break from liberal fag assault.

Maybe I just think I’m in business not to be your bitch and bake you a cake just cause you want one.

Normal society should not accept gay shit.

HEYYOU says

Does anyone notice how Rep/Con/hypocrite Christians are so focused on dick sucking & anal fucking?

Ever notice how Dem/Lib/Left hypocrites say sex pref, race, and gender don't matter, but are so focused on everybody believing what some self-appointed spokesperson says with regard to gays, race, and women?

Liberals:
"Employees on the clock have a right to disrespect the flag to show their stance on particular issues."
Also Liberals:
"Business owners have no right not to bake a cake that requires them to endorse positions they disagree with."

It’s retardation, mental disorder. Not normal. And hence not ok.

Shitting in public also is natural, but also not ok. We are society and not animals who ok every retard thing left wants to do.

Same sex,sex, has been around for ever. It is normal.
I must have gotten close to home.

It's what the left has been doing for the past 50 years--it's called the normalization of deviancy.

Absolutely. You were dead on correct.

I read tgrough all your old comments in this thread. You had it right down to small details.

I’ll say I’m shocked(and hopeful) that Kagen sided with the majority. Not due to politics, but due to upholding the constitution. I’d be very please if Trump gets to nominate a replacement for Ginsburg and we have a Supreme Court that largely follows the intent of the constitution.

Freedom and liberty are in the balance and the fewer sjw supporters on the court, the better.

In a normal society, people are free to pursue whatever leads them to happiness. This court case was about striking a balance in that and was much more about religious freeedom.

If you don’t like homosexuality, fine. But keep in mind that God and Jesus are there for whomever, whenever, as soon as that person is ready. Regardless of sin, as we are all sinners.

If you want to make a difference, concentrate on that. You won’t “fix” gay people I don’t think. But you can make a stand for the religious freedoms that were under attack when Barrack Obama was president. And you can speak to Christianity as a way to repentance and salvation.

Compelling an artist to make a work that is contrary to his beliefs is unconstitutional, immoral and unamerican. It is basically involuntary conscription.

A better analogy would be a bakery refusing to bake a cake for a black man.

That's a straw man. The baker was not refusing to bake for gays in general, just not for a specific event.

A "better analogy" would be a black baker who accepts white customers, but will not make a Confederate Flag cake. Or a Jewish caterer who accepts Morman customers, but will not provide services for a polygamous wedding.

Liberals cleverly excluded politics, so you CAN refuse to bake a MAGA cake, but not a "Transgender Coming Out Party" cake. Because the former is "just politics" the latter is a "Gender/Sexual Preference"

you have to be a complete idiot to eat something that someone was forced to prepare for you.

If I was forced to bake something for gays I would hock so many loogies into it, that i might bake only gay cakes as a full time job.
