Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed[W:1581]

Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

She should go to a Gay bar or other business and ask them how they feel about serving Christians.

They'd ask her what she wants to drink.
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

Talk about playing this up for all the drama they can. Seriously. they are a small town pizza shop that has survived on the small population there for years. They aren't exactly on a major drag that relies on tourism for their business. The owner is smart. He is playing the right-wing for the fools that they are and is profiting off of them quite well. He has probably made more off of this martyr card than he has done in business for the last 5 years.

the tolerant left have been making death threats.

but hey, it isn't like they would throw a bomb into a crow of people they dislike..oh, wait. they would do that.

this owner deserves every cent donated to them for this fiasco. maybe the intolerant left will get the message...but I doubt it.

The right, obviously, never does such a thing, right?

When has a liberal thrown a bomb into a crowd of people? I can think of plenty of right-wingers who have done such though.

As far as the pizza shop guy.....he is playing you guys like fools and laughing all the way to the bank. Good for him.
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

God destroyed the entire population [give or take a few] after he saw that one heeded his word any longer.

By letting one deviant, sinful group after another have sway over the hearts and minds of this country, we are setting ourselves up for his wrath once again.

Call me crazy but, I personally would rather not see that in my lifetime.

I won't call you crazy - perhaps, misguided - but I respect people of faith and their belief system - I just don't believe it should adversely impact the lives of others.

And are you so sure in your beliefs that you're totally confident that you know your God's will and plan?
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

I'm sure there would be no problem, as long as the Christians weren't calling everyone in the bar sinful deviants and comparing them to animal-sexing child molesters. You get what you give.
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

We have free will and will be judged for all those sins.

As Christians, we are suppose to go forth and sin no more, not continue supporting it.



And where in Jesus' teachings has he given you or anyone the right to judge the morality of others?

If you are an average person, you will tell a minimum of three lies a day. If you are a normal person you will look at a women covetously st least twice a day and think about sex about three times an hour.

Is that sinning no more?

I think we, as Christians need to remember Jesus hung out with the sinners and made fools of the self righteous, those who could not throw the first stone.

No where have I seen anything where he says we are the world's morality police, in fact, the opposite.

The last time a liberal threw a bomb into a crowd of people was March 23 in Austin when a liberal woman tossed a Molotov cocktail at a bunch of pro life women peacefully praying outside of a Planned Parenthood office.

Did the "plenty of right wingers" who throw these bombs do it recently?

I am no Biblical scholar, but I love studying theology; the Bible in context of the times and the possibilities of mis-interpretation....

of which the possibilities are endless. Along with that there are "problem passages" that don't fit, modern scholars now say that some of them were mistakes.....

yes, mistakes.

The Bible was spoken in Aramaic and Latin, written in Greek the translated back to Latin. Anyone who has ever parsed Latin knows what comes next.

So you can see that having a full sureness beyond a reasonable doubt about God's will is pretty arrogant. What does Jesus mean the meek shall inherit the earth, and who are the "poor in spirit"? Most Christians today haven't a clue, while the scholars try to get agreement.

They love to go to Sodom and Gomorrah, but they don't realize it isn't about homosexuality. What? No, if you read it close it's about perverts who want to have sex with angels, another species, and still another huge school that says that story is allegory.

So the scholars are asking questions and the ignorant seem **** sure. What I know is that the longer I am a Christian the more I am sure we have no business in anyone else's business; that Jesus died for and loves the people we judge...to the point he warns "forgive us as we forgive those who have trespassed against us.

"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone...."

Actually, some high school coach threatened and asked others to help them burn down the establishment and has since been suspended for the comments.

Not to say liberals are all about violence, it's foolish to try and equate the extreme actions of a few by superimposing them upon the majority, but threats have been made.

Or try to join a gay only cruise or get reservations at a gay male only resort. Or for that matter get elected and apply to join the Congressional Black Caucus.

Discrimination is FINE...when it is what YOU want.

Have you tried to book a gay cruise?
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

Are there such things in the U.S.? I know there are "gay" cruises, but have no idea if they actually REQUIRE a person to be gay to book a room on them. I'd doubt it. And ships are weird anyway - they're all flagged with foreign countries so I'm not sure what laws apply to them.

I started a search then thought better of it - no telling what kind of ads Google would direct my way.....

Or for that matter get elected and apply to join the Congressional Black Caucus.

It's a club. They can do that. I doubt the Tea Party caucus allows liberals to attend their meetings.
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

Maybe they can spend their free time volunteering. This hateful act can be used to discriminate against anyone. What happens when a Hasidic Jew refuses to business with a woman? Shameful.

The CBC is a political org, not a commercial one so it doesn't fall under the Commerce Clause. The only people who can make them accept white members is the majority in Congress, who set the rules for the Congress

So go blame the majority in Congress. Hmm, I wonder who has the majority in Congress :shrug:

Yeah, you are definitely not an expert. So why say something so lacking in knowledge?

Oh wait...I think I know. You're perfectly fine with discrimination against those that you disagree with and forcing them to go against their beliefs in order to assert your own discriminatory beliefs.

So you seriously believe that a small town pizzeria lost so much by not catering the gay weddings that within a week they're out of business? Yeah, ok....you'll believe anything apparently.
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

Not a damn thing about gays at all.

I have never heard of anybody having a wedding catered with pizza.

The words 'pizza' and 'catering' are mutually exclusive.

It was a pathetic attempt by moronic pizza shop owners to pander to Christians to increase their business, which blew up in their face.

I'll bet that they even set up their own GoFundMe page, or had a friend do it.

Lying, hypocritical morons.

NO, this is completely wrong. These people didn't seek out any publicity or seek to make their religious views generally known. They just answered some questions a reporter who came into their restaurant asked. There was no discrimination. Nothing happened, nothing was about to happen. But the evil scum at ABC, Puffington Host, et al., proceeded to blow the whole thing out of proportion. It is yellow journalism at it's very worst.

I have no problem with gays, but I absolutely despise gay activists. I despise the social justice warriors who style themselves journalists. They are mean, evil, and intolerant. They are begging for a big backlash from decent people.

So the Go Fund Me campaign was just a really fortuitous coincedence?

just to clarify.. there was no "hateful act"...there was no "act" at all.
she simply answered a question saying she would discriminate.. she didn't actually discriminate against anyone.

...and that's when they started being terrorized on the phone and internet. .... which, ironically, is a "hateful act"....but it's a hateful act that is not only tolerated, but supported by folks whom pretend to be opposed to "hateful acts"

it's a mad mad mad mad world...sometimes

Are you saying that they don't need or deserve a legal defense?
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

Take a close look at their shirts. See the crescent moon and star in the middle of the rainbow?

I did not see that. Thanks for the clarification.
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

Yep, a good friend of my brother's - a very good human being by any account other than he's homosexual - was so completely disowned/rejected he didn't find out about his mother's illness (cancer) or death until 2 months after her funeral, so dad, and two siblings, couldn't bother to make a phone call, send an email. They'd send b'day or Christmas presents from him back, unopened. Would hang up if he called. Etc. Pretty sad.

Sometimes I hope that many of those who seem unconcerned about discrimination against gays just don't have a clue what kind of actual discrimination still takes place in this country. It's far better than it used to be, but the kind of hostility that motivates an entire family to disown their son/brother/sister still exists, and so suggestions that we "tolerate" or especially respect these kinds of opinions is pretty absurd from where I sit.

You want to argue that they should be allowed to discriminate and refuse service? Fine. I disagree and the laws are quickly coming around to a view to make it illegal. But don't tell they're just faithful to their religion. BS. It's a kind of hate reserved for homosexuals (and maybe child rapists) that has nothing to do with religion.

Yeah very well put. The way i see it, the only diff between this pizza shop and what you just described is (maybe) the *level* of hatred. It is still senseless, unprovoked, and worthless hate just the same however

Even the argument that there's "sinners' movement" among lgbt is a bull**** excuse. Every group of 'sinner' - adulterers, murderers, you name it - will attempt to excuse their behavior and get away with it

The contempt for lgbt, in my experience, always boils down to personal animus

That's just what the caseworkers said. As a Hispanic female, I was declined multiple times when I was younger and I tried to get medicaid when I was out of work and had no health insurance. I don't know about your state requirements but yeah from what I know it's very rare when a single person with no children or disability gets medicaid, it's actually kind of hard to get it - no matter the color.

Now let's say it was true that it was BECAUSE you are a white male, don't you find that wrong?

Since it was the government doing it, yes. If it was some private individual/company, might be wrong but I would move to the next business and forget about it.
