Your link is a proposed bill? That supposedly defends my side of this argument or something like that? What does that prove? That somebody agrees with me? If it's not a law but only a bill, so what? I cannot deal with this level of incomprehension. All I have to say about this is that I think you need a nice lie down and a soothing relaxing prefrontal lobotomy.

Very well. I wrote, in full:
Dr A writes: But do explain. Catholics don't recognize marriages performed by Protestant ministers as legitimate. Is it a blow to their religious freedom if the state recognizes such marriages? Mormons don't recognize marriages performed outside a Mormon temple as being legitimate. Is it a blow to their religious freedom if the state recognizes such marriages? I can find you any number of churches which think that interracial marriage is against God's law. (I can supply references, or you can google it yourself.) Does it take away their rights if the state recognizes such marriages? In the same way, your sect does not recognize gay marriage. That doesn't mean that it's a blow against your religious freedom if the state recognizes the gay marriages performed by different sects, such as the Quakers or the Waldensians or whatnot. Your reply began:
Faith writes: Your link is a proposed bill? That supposedly defends my side of this argument or something like that? What does that prove? That somebody agrees with me? If it's not a law but only a bill, so what? If you would like to suggest any conceivable way in which that does relate to my post ... take all the time you like.

I'm talking only about people who think they are Christians. You mean those people who conduct gay marriages? OK, let's live by the edicts of their religion.

And these situations are in fact set up by provocateurs. Evidence?

Evidence is that they didn't need to go to a Christian baker ... But in order to be provocateurs, they'd need to know beforehand that the baker's views were such as to refuse the cake. By telepathy or something. Now so far as I know, they just walked into a bakery, asked for a wedding cake, and were refused. This has not been followed by thousands of other gay couples demanding cakes from the same bakery, has it? Such people would be provocateurs. Also, they don't exist.

Your knowledge of history is appalling. The Pilgrims and Puritans never did any such thing. Boston martyrs - Wikipedia

No, no, see, some guy was walking along with a gallows, he bumped into some Quakers, he tripped ...
Oopsie.

That word "discriminate" is a politically correct whitewashing word, pure evil. It's always good when you let us know what is pure evil. In this case it's saying that discriminating against gay people is discriminating against gay people. So, saying something that is true by definition, that's pure evil.
And I am not characterizing the requirement as punishment, the punishment will come as a result of my refusing to obey the requirement. The requirement is, however, persecution. It's a set up to target Christians. Nobody else, just Christians. Hmm ... you appear to have gone insane. We just want gay people to have civil rights. No-one gives a fuck about your crazy sect. To repeat a metaphor I've used before. Suppose some guys take a road trip from Los Angeles to San Fransisco. On their way they run over a beetle. Do you think they took the road trip in order to run over the beetle? Do you suppose they give a shit? They want to get where they're going. They are utterly indifferent to the fact that the beetle was in their way. They certainly didn't plan their route so as to crush the beetle.
The only person in history that I know of who ever said homosexuals could marry was the crazy perverse Caesar Nero. Then let me enlighten you. People who have "said homosexuals could marry" include the governments of Scotland, England, Wales, Brazil, France, New Zealand, Uruguay, Denmark, Argentina, Portugal, Iceland, Sweden, Norway, South Africa, Spain, Canada, Belgium, and the Netherlands. That is a matter of historical fact. Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.

It isn't about people at all really ... Sheesh. Well, that's your opinion of what it's all about. But the rest of us think that it is about people and not about the abstractions in your head. Shall we take a vote?

Interesting fact. The ruling in Pennsylvania was delivered by one Judge Jones. Ever heard of him before? Yes you have. Yeah, it's the same guy who presided over the Panda Trial.

It is they who come baiting us to refuse them service. You have produced absolutely no evidence for this claim. Do you want to try?

And the only thing that fits that situation is being asked to make a cake or take pictures for a gay wedding. Perhaps you can come up with a situation I'm not thinking of where I'd be put in the same position ... Well, suppose your employer asked you to pick up sticks on a Saturday. Suppose you were a waitress required to serve someone shrimp. Suppose you worked in a garment factory and were asked to make clothes from a cotton-nylon mix. Suppose you worked in a bank and were made complicit with lending money at interest. Or suppose you worked in a cake shop, and two people who had been married in your church, but divorced from their respective partners in civil courts, now wanted to marry each other, which is of course adultery in God's eyes. And suppose they ordered a cake. But you don't give a damn about any of that stuff, the only thing you care about is being mean to gay people, and "God's law" can take a hike.

Jesus fulfilled all those laws so that Christians are not under them. I don't know why you all keep harping on them, they are irrelevant. Jesus fulfilled ALL the laws, so that our salvation is a free gift and His obedience covers all who believe in Him. Apart from when it comes to making cakes for gay people, where you'd better be justified by works just to be on the safe side.
