I'm arguing constitutional rights, you are trying to debate dogma I don't care about.
You're under the mistaken impression that insincerity is protected by the 1A. It's not. This isn't a 1A issue, this is a 14A issue. The first amendment doesn't extend to cover insincerity. That's why the courts have dealt defeat after defeat to the bigots.
I challenge the premise that you and these Christians
even have sincerity in their beliefs. I don't think you do. I definitely don't think they do. Sincerity would mean they sincerely believe that their God forgives and Jesus died for your sins. But if baking a cake causes harm to their religious beliefs, then that means they're being insincere either about why they refuse to bake the cake, or why they're Christians
in the first ******* place.
Watching you all avoid that topic while repeating "religious freedom" (which is a broad, ever-changing parameter that has gone through at least a half dozen revisions by you in this thread) without knowing the first thing about it. That in order to exercise religious freedumb
you have to be sincere in your religious beliefs. Doesn't seem like any of you poseurs are.
The harm is when government forces you to do something you don't want to over someone else's hurt feelings.
To minimalize civil rights as "hurt feelings" merely exposes the insincerity of your whole ******* argument.
Which means you're just a ******* poseur and attention seeker. Pathetic.
There is no civil right to a specific wedding cake
And there's no religious liberty to it either. So shut up and bake the ******* cake. DO YOUR JOB.
