Op Ed Piece By The Florist
Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

I want an answer from all you liberals who think it is ok to trample the rights of this florest and others. to the questions below.
Did this florest or the photographer or any of the other people, whose constitutionally protected rights are being trampled try to stop couples like the one in this article having a ceremony to celebrate their UNION?
if the answer is NO which it is. why are you being so hypocritically intolerant and bigoted?.Last edited by RumTumTugger; 05-13-2015, 02:03 PM.

Take a look at the bolded. Oh, and Christ is more than just a Christian concept. It goes over into Judaism, Islam, and even Baha'i. Christ simply means messiah. It's a title applied to Jesus in Christianity.
“To participate in a wedding that violates those principles violates the core of my faith.” – What has flower selling got to do with religion or marriage? Flower selling is a commercial transaction not a sacrament.
Not sure why I went into this, we all know you're just here to .

The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

If this was simply selling a pot of flowers to someone this wouldn't be a problem, but arranging flowers at a wedding is an entirely different beast.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

For the record, most of the weddings I've done that involved a florist -- the florist consults with the couple as to color, style, how much money they want to spend, etc.... and provides the flowers for the Church or venue, along with the Corsages & Boutonnieres for the wedding party, along with the flowers the Bride carries, and the rose petals (or whatever) to drop along the "runway", and is almost always AT the venue to make sure everything goes as planned, including the boutonnieres being pinned on the wedding party, and often whatever candles or ornaments, etc.....
It's WAY different than "selling flowers".The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

There is a difference between a commercial service provision and “participation”.
But the sin
FF is lecturing us on what SIN is!
is to think that what other people do out of love and perfectly legally is yours to condemn by your refusal of equal opportunity.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
