[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What makes denying a gay couple a cake a legitimate religious issue?

Where exactly in the Bible does it say thou shalt turn away people whom you do not agree with?

More specifically, where did Jesus teach anything even remotely like this?

I can't seem to find it anywhere.  Certainly not in the Gospels which are the first hand testimony of Christ's teachings.  Anyone?  Anyone?  Citation, please?

If you can't come up with one then it's not really a bonafide religious issue.  So please stop trying to wrap your homophobic bigotry up in religion thinking it can act as a shield.  If even Jesus isn't backing you up on this then you are full of crap.[/quote]

The bible states that marriage is between a man and a woman. A baker, who bakes a wedding cake for a gay couple means that baker is participating in the wedding. This is VERY different than a gay couple simply coming in to buy cookies, or any other baked goods already on the shelf - including a cake. Forcing someone to participate in something that is against their religious beliefs is what this law is about. It does not give shop owners permission to shout 'you're gay, get out".

Should a Halal shop owner be forced to participate in a Jewish wedding? I don't think so.[/quote]

"Participating in the wedding?"  Oh, please.  By that calculus, the chinese factory that made the lace for the veil is also "participating in the wedding"

But you still didn't answer the question.  Where exactly in the Bible does it say the baker cannot do business with them?  And, since we are talking about Christians here, where, specifically, in the Gospels does it say that?[/quote]
