    Wow okay. You did not "get the feeling" anything, I found you to be a repetitive, argumentative mess. It has nothing to do with your feelings being mine you sociopath. Unbelievable you wicked people think "yes" means "no", and "no" means "yes".

    If you can find me one example of a muslim bakery denying gay couples a cake, then you might have some credibility. Until then, you're just an apologist for homophobic bigots, your emotions notwithstanding.

    You know what they call a bigot who expresses bigotry in the name of religion? A bigot.

    Talk about lipstick on a pig!! LOL.

    Here's the deal, dude.

    There have been over 30,000 same sex marriages. The VAST majority of which have not involved any lawsuits. So, obviously the
    "gay army" IS using businesses that support gay marriage.

    In fact, there have been more heterosexual couples who have sued for refusal of services than have gay couples.

    So let's have some small reality check on your part. In any given social group, there are people who sue. Gods, how many
    times has Trump sued other people - how many times has he driven businesses out of business?

    This whole bakery thing has been blown WAY OUT of proportion given the ratio of same sex marriages to same sex marriages
    resulting in lawsuits.

    So please - stop with the gnashing of teeth and rending of clothes - it's just pathetic drama queen stuff.

    Saying I'm "gnashing teeth" and other insults will not win the argument. I couldn't care less how many foolish lawsuits there are, that's not the discussion...now stay on topic. Peoples lives are being ruined because gay couples feel as though they are entitled to force their lifestyle on everyone. Life doesn't work that way. In fact, I'm 100% certain that a gay owned bakery would refuse to bake a cake stating "keep marriage between a man and a woman". No one should force them to. In fact, if they refuse any service to straight couples, then so be it. I'd simply go elsewhere.
    As a side note, I think that a business is foolish for turning any business down...but it is the businesses right.

    Just google "muslim bakery refuses to bake wedding cake"...there are 323,000 results. Most of them are from right wing sources (of course the left wouldn't touch this issue) but the videos are real.
    The fact that Muslim nations around the world punish gays violently and American liberals complain about refused service speaks volumes about the agenda and intelligence of liberals.

    The truth shall set you free!

    So you could "care less" that the problem is not really a problem. When over 30,000 gay couples DO GO to businesses
    that cater to gays and the "problem" is present in .006% of those unions ... ?

    Honestly, that is not a "problem", it is a statistical abnormality. So please, stop with the histrionics.

    I suggest make the damned gay wedding cake if your in public business or the SJW's will get you. That's simply how it is now. I think death threats is to much but petitions, boycotts of them and their suppliers and business parties they work with and public sign waving protests in front of the business would be fine by me and legal.

    How does one respond to that post? You suffer from cognitive dissonance, as do most on the left.

    How does one respond? Well a "genius" would try and prove that an event which occurs in .003% of cases is a "problem" and
    not a statistical abnormality.

    Or one who was less than a "genius" could respond, "Oooo, another $2 word ..." Your choice.

    Oh wait, you already made it.

    So no requirement of evidence is necessary for the belief in your chosen religion to allow you to discriminate but evidence is necessary for homosexuals? Regardless of if gay people wake up one morning and decide to be gay - your point is hypocritical and illogical.

    It is certainly a problem for the .003% who are screwed by these actions.

    Sorry. Religious nutbags made this an issue by trying to deny the rights of US citizens based on their fairy tales. They lost. Go cry to your pastor or whatever figure is responsible for fleecing you out of money.

    Christians need to be dargged, kicking and screaming, into the 21st century.

    Your notion of absurd is irrelevant. Anyone who chooses to break the law of the united states to follow the laws of bronze age superstitions deserve a lot worse than a fine, in my opinion. It's a good start, though.

    - - - Updated - - -

    So you're ok with your superstitions telling you that you're going to burn in hell? I love how religious nuts cherry pick the good parts of their superstitions to believe in. Either embrace it, or why bother?

    Down Syndrome is caused by a difference in chromosomes (from birth). There was no test for Down Syndrome many years ago, so superstitious people believed it was a curse from the neighborhood witch. They did not know about chromosomes. Even after science figured out what a chromosome was, it took a while to find the responsible segment for an externally obvious attribute like Down Syndrome. Even Dr Whitehead's summary just says post-birth factors have MORE IMPACT than pre-birth factors. Given 2% homosexuals in the general population, identical twins with SSA are 5 times more likely to have the sibling with SSA. Seems like Dr Whitehead has given us proof that there IS a pre-birth component.

    I agree. "Liberals" who let Muslims off the hook are quite dishonest. Islamic bigots should be seen as the same as Christian bigots, who are the same as atheist bigots. ALL should be equally condemned for the bigots that they are.

    Bigotry is bigotry. It doesn't matter which religion you use to spread you bigoted ideas.

    If you refuse service to someone based on the color of their skin or their gender identity, you are a BIGOT, period. End of story. I really don't care what god you pray to. That is irrelevant to this conversation.

    Must be nice on that lofty perch. Some people have strong beliefs.

    You are free to have whatever "strong" beliefs you want. You can believe in jesus, allah, what have you. But you cannot use your beliefs to justify discrimination and bigotry.

    For example, you cannot say that Jesus told you to discriminate against blacks. Even if you hold a strong religious belief that Jesus told you to discriminate against blacks, that doesn't mean you are allowed to do so. The same is true for gender and sexuality.

    Discrimination would be saying they don't allow gay people in their store and won't serve them at all. That is not the case. They will just not bake a cake for a gay wedding. Do you think they would make a cake for me if I said it's for Satans birthday? most likely not. Not saying Satans birthday is the same as a gay wedding, but im just giving a example.

    Someone does not want to participate their business in an event, big (*)(*)(*)(*)ing deal. Simply find someone who wants the business, it wont be hard.

    Look kid, Jesus doesn't tell people to be bigots. In fact, the religious among us are the ones who did things like end slavery and other forms of discrimination. Fake "Christians" use religion to back up their bigotry. Real Christians with strong beliefs will exercise their beliefs in the face of overwhelming disagreement.
