you no longer can hold your own values in America
you are no longer able to chose to exercise your values in America. You now run the risk of being forced to become a hypocrite by the government. Whether you agree with gay marriage or not, this baker should not be forced to work for people he chooses not too.

Christianity has made messes all over history... compared to what? You don't really want to compare Christianity's history over a two thousand year existence to atheism's history of a century or so, do you?
When you need an operation, paid for thanks to your Obamacare, be sure not to go to a hospital. Cause, you know, that's one of those messes caused by Christianity.
In addition, I don't know how you get a cake unless you mix the ingredients and bake it, which is labor, in this case FORCED labor, i.e. slavery.
You mean Madame Pompadour, I suspect.
Look between your legs.
That bit of flesh there... its function is to make babies.
To promote that function, and to promote the survival of babies until *they* are of breeding age, the emotional attachment of "romance" exists. The addictive, endorphin rush accompanying sexual climax exists to compel males and females to engage in sexual intercourse.
if the attraction in a male is to another male, or an animal, or an inanimate object, that attraction must be misdirected, because, again, the function is to make babies. Likewise with females.
Doesn't matter whether babies actually result from every attempt. It doesn't change the function of the organs or the effects on the brain.
The function of hunger is to induce ingestion of food. If one is attracted to eat, primarily or exclusively, used running shoes, something is wrong with one.
Likewise, if one is attracted to mate with anything other than a member of the opposite sex of one's own species... something is wrong with one.
I make my assertion with all of nature to support me.
It took me until the age of 35 to learn that the word "no" was simply a boundary around what I should and shouldn't do for what's good for me. It has nothing to do with "bullying" or "aggression".
Because you're a female, you can murder the funny-looking and inconvenient.
But I can't do the same thing, and I'm *surrounded* by the funny-looking and inconvenient every day...
Not fair, I tell ya...
Have one of the homosexuals undergo "sex-reassignment" surgery. Then they will no longer be a same-sex couple, and he can bake the cake for them.
Simple, no?
neanderthal much, bambi?
Now there's a guy who seems to have some excessive and abusive christianity.
Reminder: I've told you several times I'm not an atheist.
I've been clear that I don't discuss what I am because someone may not like me and not choose a path that is correct for them because of that.
Or they may like me and join me on my journey when it isn't right for them.
I don't use a religious base for my stand that homosexuality is a mental/emotional illness. I have explained my position in other message threads.
Sexual attraction and romantic feelings exist for the function of perpetuating the species. Just as your stomach exists to digest food and provide nourishment, your genitalia exist to perpetuate the species.
If you are compelled to inhale hotdogs, and swallow carbon monoxide, there's something wrong with your mental/emotional processes. If you are sexually and romantically attracted to the same sex, to inanimate objects, to animals, to children, there's something wrong with your mental/emotional processes. This, in and of itself, doesn't mean you're a bad person. What makes you a bad person is attempting to force others to ignore your illness and pretend it's normal and healthy.
I have no hatred for anyone suffering from homosexuality. I have hatred for anyone, homosexuals, feminists, communists, Westboro Baptists, politicians, Hollywood performers, and many others, who attempt to force me to accept their changes to a society that was once quite successful and becomes less successful in direct proportion to the success of their attempts to warp the nation to match their delusions.
You want to play hide the banana with some other guy's rectal orifice, go for it, so long as I don't have to be in any way involved. But, don't expect me to believe a tail is a leg. Worse, don't try forcing me to accept tails as legs.
There you go again.
So, prove to me that this baker was worried about his eternal whatever. Prove there is life after death.
If you rape a woman and then toss her $100.00 afterwords is she a prostitute or a victim???
Actually, this was first addressed in "The Marching Morons".
(I remember when "AFDC" was just "ADC")
As I recall, the inhabitants of the gulch were rather supportive of the government forcing THAT person to take down his sign, then remove it again from in front of his home, then remove the sign "in your heart, you know".
The consensus then was that the owner of the Red Barn Supper Club *should* be forced to do business with people he doesn't want to, and that his first amendment rights were subject to the feelings of our enemies.
