Wedding cakes and photographs are not crematoriums.

I mean,. get real. This is not religion, it is just bigotry.


On your part perhaps.

How long have you been Pope?

Or what credential do you have to determine what is and is not religion?


Exactly the point I was making as well.  He doesn't get to decide what is or isn't religiously important to someone else's faith

The Governor of Georgia vetoed this stupid bill. I am only an observer.

My belief that religion is not about refusing to bake cakes or take photos of gay weddings is 100% unrelated to this wise decision.

Next time you chat with the Lawd Gawd Almighty, ask him to add the following to the Ten Commandments:
\

XI THOU SHALT NOT BAKE CAKES FOR QUEERS,

XII THOU SHALT NOT  TAKE PHOTOS OF GAY WEDDINGS, EITHER.

If He comments on this, and adds a plug on your behalf, it could mean great times are ahead for you.
People will surely come from far and wide so you can lay your hands on them.

You will be more famous than the Virgin Mary that once appeared on a pancake,

Like I said, and Plane referred to as well, you don't get to decide what is or isn't religiously important to someone else's faith

One is free to have a business open to the public. One is not free to use it for bigotry,

Oh , who is free to define bigotry?

If a bigot comes into your shop and threatens to sue if you don't participate in his project you just need to get sued.

In that article I posted the authors called dozens of bakeries and none of them were willing to bake a cake with Nazi emblems on it.

Before you celebrate the wisdom of these bakeries , remember that the loss of this right to refuse is happening right now.

Cakes are effing trivial. This topic is trivial.

Point being, you don't get to decide what's trivial and what's not, in someone else's faith....end of story

No, you haven't.  You've only decided what's trivial and what's not in YOUR "faith".  Thank you for playing

Great rebuttal.  (one again, one always knows when the good professor has come to the end of his "debate" rope.)  Thanks for the validation sir

Cakes are effing trivial. This topic is trivial.

Cakes are trivial if you are buying an occasional cake and have many bakeshops to choose from.
\

Cakes are extremely important if you own a bakeshop, and holding any small business in contempt for being small is very contrary to the best way to achieve peace, freedom and full employment.

\

Seems as though those to whom the cake is a triviality are forcing their cake will onto the people whose lives depend on cake.

It is never good to have those least invested , in most control.

Owning a bakeshop is not important. Get effing serious. If some religious bigot wants to make a living baking things,  he does not have to ever make wedding cakes for anyone.  Wedding cakes are a minor part of the bakery business.

This is a trivial issue about which no one, gay, religious or whatever, needs to give one damn.

And repeating one more time, for the visually impaired, you don't get to decide, for someone else what is or isn't religiously important to their faith.

I have already decided. More importantly, the Governor of Georgia has decided as well.

And neither of you two have the power to decide what is or isn't religiously important or trivial, in someone else's faith

Thank God for that
