  • Rainbow cakes

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ommission.html

    The way I see this is that this bakery haven't discriminated against gay people if they would have done same thing on any other matter of conscience for themselves. There must have been other bakeries which would have made this cake and one wonders if this was contrived in an attempt to drive Christians from the market place. If people contrive to make trouble for Christians when does it become harassment? Gay people see their identity as flowing from their sexuality and Christians see their identity as flowing from their commitment to Jesus Christ. I realize that not all Christians are in agreement on Biblical interpretations of homosexuality, but for those of us who do hold the conservative interpretation, why should our Christian identity be seen as less then a gay identity. For the record I support the right of gay people to get married but I do not support gay marriage. In other words I think gays should be able to marry if that is their choice, but if asked my opinion as to whether or not a gay person should marry then I would say 'no'

    Why not ask Christian bakers for cakes that say "JESUS IS A LIE" and then sue them when they refuse to bake them

        You are joking right? Tolerance - left?

          But haven't they been demanding tolerance for 50 plus years from the rest of us? You are not suggesting that they are hypocrites are you?

            Do you know if they sent the order knowing that the bakery was owned by a Christian, or if they simply asked for one and were taken aback when the owner refused?

            The two are not mutually exclusive.

            I realize that not all Christians are in agreement on Biblical interpretations of homosexuality, but for those of us who do hold the conservative interpretation, why should our Christian identity be seen as less then a gay identity. For the record I support the right of gay people to get married but I do not support gay marriage.

            I think they ought to fulfill the message on the cake and support gay marriage, but I wouldn't want them to be required to bake a cake with that specific message on it if they truly believed it was against their religion. Refusing to bake a mere cake for a gay wedding is silly and discriminatory, but I can understand the objection if the order was to print a specific message on the cake.

            That said, I do wish that certain posters in this thread would actually get to discussing the issues rather than merely throwing out insults about people with whom they disagree. Makes me suspect that they're motivated more by dislike for a group of people than concern for professed moral ideals.

                              Speaking of which, type in "australia rainbow cake" on Google. (I can't directly link to it here due to profanity.) Click on the result that says "Rainbow-Cake Recipe Inspires Comment Apocalypse." It is a truly remarkable display of Internet commenting. The political battles are, amazingly, even worse than the ones on this website.
