Disney threatens to stop filming in Georgia if anti-gay bill becomes law

[Blackrook]

Once again, why is it so horrible to bake a cake for a gay wedding, but somehow acceptable to bake one for a Hindu or Pagan wedding?

Being hindu or pagan is not a sin. Gays can buy any cake they want. The sin is not baking the cake. It is participating in the perversion.

Following another God is most certainly a sin. In fact, it is listed as #1 in the 10 Commandments.

What about grocery stores that sell food to gays? It is the homosexuality itself that is supposedly the sin. Aren't the grocers supporting homosexuality?

What about the power company, cable company and phone companies? If selling a wedding cake is "supporting" gays, then isn't providing electricity, cable and phone service to gays also a sin?

Selling food, selling cakes, cookies and flowers to gays is not a sin. Participating in a gay wedding is a sin. It is not a commentary on someone's life choices. It is a personal sin. It is the same as forcing someone to look at kiddie porn. It is strongarming an innocent person to commit a violation of their soul.

So it is not about them being gay. It is about the actual marriage ceremony? Any Biblical reference to go with that claim?

Most marriages are legal agreements, certificates are issued by the state not the church.

>>But if also you shall have married, you did not sin.....<< didn't that come from corinthians?

If something like sex is a sin out side marriage, but not a sin after marriage.... why be upset if gays want to marry, under the law or in front of god

aris, please tell me you're not serious when you ask this question...

the bakers are paid to make cakes not make judgement about the people being married.
"Oh, we can't make cakes for bi-racial, bi-religious couples or for religions other than my own, or for couples from other states....."

The bakers are not judging anyone but themselves and refusing to commit a sin. Attending a gay wedding is a sin to them. It's like forcing them to watch kiddie porn.

Being hindu or pagan is not a sin. Gays can buy any cake they want. The sin is not baking the cake. It is participating in the perversion.

but christians did believe that jews, muslims and pagans were siners and other christians than their own were heritics

so what of all the christians who are gay or accept gays?

Not all christians believe being gay is a sin.

Oh by all means, those Christians who do not believe that participating in a gay wedding is a sin, should certainly enjoy themselves at the event.

saying something like baking is a sin, it is sin only to you not all christians. Christians attend jewish and muslim receptions, they intermarry, they even live in sin before marriage. Why is baking a cake a sin just because the couple happen to born gay?

 

[Blackrook]

I represented a gay couple on some business matter that had nothing to do with their homosexual tendencies. He was an interior decorator (of course) and he was having problems with another business person, but I don't remember the details.

I don't approve of homosexuality, but I did not feel I was violating my faith by representing them in a business matter. I was not required to sanction or cooperate in homosexual behavior.

When you tell a baker he must participate in a same-sex wedding, you are saying he must sanction and cooperate in a same-sex wedding.

The persecution of Christians has been going on for 2000 years, and we American Christians have been fortunate to live in a country where we can openly practice our faith without religious persecution.

But the Democratic party has become an enemy to Christians, so we can expect persecution to continue.

I am old enough to remember when a Christian could in good conscience vote Democrat. But those days are over. The Democratic party is now a tool of Satan, and things are only getting started.

Because same-sex marriage is a blasphemy, and anyone who participates in it will bring down the wrath of an angry God down upon them.

Nothing you say has any meaning at all. Yes it is a sin only to the one single person that says that they won't commit that sin. Sin like virtue and acceptance of Christ is personal. Why is this so hard to understand? You keep wanting to impose group think on Christians as if they have a hive mind.

Perhaps when all these corporations are willing to put their asses out on the line for "standing up for LGBT" bullshit, they might want to look at the number "90%" before they do: Poll. Please Vote. Did You Have a Mother & Father in Your Life?

Disney, Marvel and thousand of jobs.......vs. a random strawpoll on an obscure message board.

Gee, I wonder which Georgia is going to prioritize.

1000s of jobs really? that's IF they were EVER going to film something in their state to begin with. maybe you like to live by being blackmailed and I hope you get to experience it some day soon. but the Majority of the country will stand on their Principles and never bow down to Blackmail. you on left should try finding some principles, honor and tolerance, instead you show your red boned Fascism inside .

"In FY 2015 alone, Georgia-lensed feature films and television productions generated an economic impact of $6 billion."

They already were shooting there.

yeah and, ? you want to live by being blackmailed too. what freaking country are we living in when a corporation CAN THREATEN THE CITIZENS who live in it if they don't pass some LAW in their own states?

 

[Blackrook]

The State of Georgia should tell Disney to go **** a rolling donut.

Georgia has very favorable tax treatment for moviemakers, so when all is said and done, Hollywood studios are going to do what is more profitable for them.

IF they were going to film anything in Georgia? Georgia is one of the top 4 or 5 states for filming locations and number of movies shot.

 

[Katzndogz]

They are making movies in Georgia because Georgia is a conservative state. A liberal state would be denying them all that corporate welfare.

Just pointing out you were wrong with your first statement. The film industry is big business in Georgia.

I don't care if gays marry. I would not even say that they were sinners. That is not my function. I cannot judge the sin of someone else. I can judge my own. It would be a sin for me to participate in, or approve of, or lend my talent in the promotion of homosexuality.

You are not being paid to approve, just bake and possibly deliver to a location.

Should a jewish or muslim doctor refuse to treat a person before knowing the religion? Should a shoe store refuse to sell shoes because that person does not attend their church or reads the same book.
Should a jewish deli refuse to sell to a christian because christians are not forbidden from eating pork?
Should they forbid entry to anyone with a shopping bag from a store that sells pork?

but eating pork is forbidden to them, so those who eat pork should be sinners. I understand an orthodox declining to eat in a christian home, but it is not a sin to enter that home.

You don't have a right to judge others. Surely there is some little sin in your life meaning you are not without blemish, not perfect. You don't get to cast stones.

Bake the damn cake but don't attend the wedding ceremony when they exchange vows. It is just a cake. I'll bet many a wedding cake has been eaten by sinners of one type or another. Is there some metal detector for sinners, saying who can and cannot go through every shop door? When they come up with one, don't put it on church doors or the place will spontaneously go up with flames. People are not tattooed or forced to wear scarlet letters of their sin

Where is your love for your fellow man that Jesus teaches?

 

[WinterBorn]

Enjoy it for now. Gov. Nathan "Lets Make A..." Deal will not sign the bill into law.

 

[Stephanie]

I hope the people tells them to go to hell. they aren't needed for their states to survive. these corps, like Disney . they come IN AND GO, they aren't a permanent fixture is what make their states run. so they think they can brow beat people they might get a big surprise

Did you know that you exude stupidity? Remarkable!

Thank you for that concise, factual comment on the topic.

Were you intelligent, I would have made an effort to educate you. I saw no point.

We live in a country where corporations are now people. Ms. Disney and Mr. NFL are merely expressing their first amendment rights.

Jesus has never commanded anyone to sin. Where did you get that from? You judge yourself. Not someone else. If it was just a cake, why can't gays just walk into a bakery and buy a damn cake. Why torment someone into making a cake when they don't want to commit the act.

 

[Kondor3]

The State of George stands to lose... what?... a dollar-twenty-five? Somehow, I doubt they're overly concerned.

Much better to absorb a few lightweight punches by corporate whores whose moral compasses are tied to the bottom line, than to cave-in to sexual deviants and perverts (a.k.a. homosexuals)...

Try billions of dollars. And that is from the film and tv industry alone.

Worth it several times over, to allow religious institutions to continue to uphold the Righteous against the Wicked.
