re: Colorado Judge: Bakery Owner discriminated against gay couple [W:123]
Christ himself never spoke on the subject...and many Christian religions are not against the idea, although many are. Regardless...you cannot hide behind religion as an excuse for bigotry. That is exactly what this Court said. If you choose to do business in this country, you have to comply with the laws of this land. You cannot use your religion as a shield to promote your bigotry and decide who you want to allow to patronize your business. This is the same ruling that prevented bigoted restaurant owners from refusing to serve blacks, just because they believed it violated their perverted version of "morality".
Is the wedding of two gay folk an effort to stop them from sinning, as I think the Christian religion is against the idea, as in a man should not lay with another man...or, rather, is it a confirmation that they will be continuing to sin in that very way?
