Ahhh, it's always fun to watch a bigot called on his bigotry.
Okay.. except they still follow SOME of those old laws, and reject others. The word of God is not a Chinese menu.
Then he should spare himself the trouble and find something else to do for a living.
You are the one who whined that the left "cancelled" Philips... And, yes, they did organize boycotts of his store and complained about him to the Human Right Commission.
Well, um, no. The law says you can't discriminate based on religion. Now, you could argue if they wanted pentagrams on their cake, or a cake that said, "Hail Satan" he might have a leg to stand on. But if they wanted a typical cake... probably not.
Low moments in Beck's effort to "reclaim" the civil rights movement.

Bullshit. The court has already ruled that religion can't be used to disobey laws.
Actually, there's no debate at all. The current bunch of right wing goons are ignoring decades of established precedents to remake America in their theocratic image.
Separation of Church and State. The only wall we need to build in this country.

You still haven’t shown any bigotry, racism, or homophobia. All you’ve done is just point to things you don’t like and said “there’s your homophobia! Theres your racism!” without actually explaining what you feel qualified in either case.
Okay.. except they still follow SOME of those old laws, and reject others. The word of God is not a Chinese menu.
How do you know that? What old laws are they accepting…which are they rejecting? Are you talking about Phillips here, or just people in general? Again, most Christian’s today believe in the new covenant, which means the old customs were done away with. That means food laws, stoning, plucking out your eyes and cutting off your hands, celebrating the holy days, things like that were done away with.

I’ve never whined about the left cancelling his store…i wasn’t even aware they did a boycott. All I knew is that he was being sued.
Well, um, no. The law says you can't discriminate based on religion. Now, you could argue if they wanted pentagrams on their cake, or a cake that said, "Hail Satan" he might have a leg to stand on. But if they wanted a typical cake... probably not.
Nope, if they ask him to bake a cake for a satanic themed wedding, or any other event, he has the right to not use his labor to specifically further that event, or support that event.
Now if a satanist comes in and says “hey, I want a cake for my birthday, the theme is hot rod cars”, then yeah, he has to bake that cake. If a trans person comes in and says “I want you to bake a cake for my husbands promotion party, the theme is polar bears”, he has to bake that cake too.
See where I’m going with this?
Now, as to your links about beck, I’m going to ask you to point out the racism and homophobia, because all I see are criticisms of certain things, and the link to the gay website was pretty much just beck having guests on his program who were saying certain things, only one of which, the guy who wants to ban homosexuality, would be considered homophobia, but nothing beck said was homophobic.
Also, in the first link you post an article that sources far left wing sites like salon.com, who have no love for anyone on the right. So naturally, they are going to look at anything that criticizes black people like Obama as some type of racism.
So, I assume, judging by your “if you disagree with me, you’re guilty of…” stance, I’m fairly certain you are also in the “if you criticize black people or gay people, you are racist and homophobia” camp as well.
So, what, in those articles, do you feel was racist, or homophobic?

What established precedent? Do you mean roe?? That’s an example of why precedent is not always a good thing, and why precedent should never be considered “law”. Courts can’t grant rights and they can’t make laws, roe going back to the states was only correcting a decades long mistake.
Separation of Church and State. The only wall we need to build in this country.
Separation of church and state doesn’t exist, except to say that government can’t establish a national religion.
We’ve talked about this, separation of church and state was to protect the churches from government creating a national religion. It’s not in the cotus, it was in a letter from Jefferson to Danbury church.
