Gov't Forces Christians To Violate Faith

[Spare_change]

The more you see something shocking, the less shocking it appears, and the more something outrageous happens, the less outrageous it seems to be. That is how a culture becomes desensitized, and that is how the abnormal becomes normalized. But when it comes to the government’s attack on our religious freedoms, it is our sacred duty to remain shocked and outraged. Such things cannot continue to happen in America if we are to be the land of the free and the home of the brave.

According to the Washington Supreme Court, when Christian florist Barronelle Stutzman declined to do the floral arrangements for a same-sex wedding, she violated the state's anti-discrimination laws, since she allegedly discriminated based on her customer’s sexual orientation by refusing to participate in his wedding ceremony.

Attorney David French is correct in emphasizing how this ruling should affect us (he penned these words shortly after the verdict was announced): “If you care about the Bill of Rights, the rights of conscience, or even the English language, there’s a chance that this morning you felt a disturbance in the Force — as if the Founders cried out in rage and were suddenly silenced.”

As French clearly explains, “she was not discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation. She was making a decision not to help celebrate an action, a form of expression. She would no more celebrate a gay wedding than she would any form of immorality, gay or straight. To dispense with her argument, the court did what numerous progressive courts have done: It rewrote the law. It rejected what it called the ‘status/conduct’ distinction, and essentially interpreted the word ‘orientation’ to also mean ‘action.’”

I still can't work out why same sex people need to marry each other.

Pure, unadulterated nonsense.

 

[there4eyeM]

Enlarging one's religious choice so that it encompasses whether or not to make a floral arrangement for something in which one will not even participate is searching for a fight.

Bigotry against homosexuality is a form of Faith?

What about, the abomination of hypocrisy? Or, would most Persons of Faith, have to go, not-for-the-profit-of-lucre in public accommodations?

She wasn't bigoted. This couple had been customers of hers for years. She chose not to participate in their wedding.

why the bigotry for that social event? it is not like she would have been an "active" participant or needed to advertise for it.

Not enough money involved, in that case?

 

[NYcarbineer]

Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's. Jesus taught Christians to obey the law.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Our system of government will not make Christianity illegal though liberals want to. What they can do is whittle away at the practices of Christianity. They can uphold limits on wearing a cross, and force Christians to violate their faith. Once the faith has been violated so many times, the faith itself becomes empty and gutted.

It's enough that she did not want to participate in any degree. You are assigning a financial intetest that only came out of your head.
