There is nothing in the First Amendment that has one damns thing to do with wedding cakes.

This isn't about wedding cakes, Dr Deflection.  This is about not forcing religious owners to perform functions that are counter their religious principles, which would include forcing them to cater weddings for a gay themed event, when there's a vast number of perfectly secular private owners.  It doesn't have to be cakes, or even edible items.  That's a clear deflection effort to try and make it about the end product   :o

And the tangent that arose from this premise, is the suggestion proposed by the clergyman, that these owners should go right ahead and accept such functions, do it with a smile, all while wearing your cross, and have a nice bible verse sewn onto the uniform.  Then take those profits, and publically acknowledge that the profits gained from the function would be donated in the name of that gay themed function towards a nice respectable pro-family organization.

You should read the 1st Amendment before making such a ludicrous statement.

"prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of religion,

To be forced by law to take part in a so-called "homosexual wedding" event clearly "impedes ones right to the "free exercise of religion".

Bigotry expressed on wedding cakes is not a serious threat to anyone, including those who eat said cakes.

I totally agree.

So lets not waste law enforcement effort on this.

Except of course the ongoing threat in undermining the 1st amendment of the Constitution.  Which is what this is all about....not cakes
