    Your point being...?
    Which might give me pause, were the world's sense of direction anything to rave about.
    No doubt it seems that way to those whose sanity has been compromised.
    That word doesn't mean anything like what you think it means.
    If you did, I suspect you'd have at least half of it covered. :smile:
    A rather impotent rejoinder.

    Sure, but no matter what kinda cake it is, you think that, "the seller is just selling a cake, the way the customer uses the cake is none of the sellers concern."

    Well, sort of--he had the right not bake them a cake as they wished it baked. I don't think serving them was an issue.

    Times change ... are you intending to change with them? Doesn't seem so.
    You seem pretty wound up over what other folks do that doesn't impact your life.
    Why would you object to spending the same amount on a voucher system that you do on public schools?

    You asked me why I thought LGBTQ = human waste. I don't think that and was trying to say my point is that claiming LGBTQ are waste is BS.

    What's it to ya?
    If a kid I never heard of gets raped in the next county, how much do you suppose that impacts my life?
    I don't get the question, as all a voucher system does is redirect existing tax money back to those taxpayers who opt out of the public school system, in such a manner that the amount available per public school student can only increase.

    Proposed and implemented voucher systems often have or had vouchers for far less than is spent per pupil in government-run schools. California had a ballot proposal for a $3,000 voucher that was rejected by voters who typically assumed it was a $3,000 gift to people who could afford to send their child to a private school.

    You might want to familiarise yourself with the decision. He only won on the basis that the useless pieces of human waste at the Colorado Civil Rights Commision treated him with anti-Christian bias, in a pathetically narrow, JOKE of a Supreme Court ruling, written by the utterly USELESS joke of a man, Justice Kennedy.

    It wasn't, he serves gay people all the time.

    You might try getting over your unfulfilled wish that religious beliefs be made more important than they are by society.
    As I said, refusing to serve gay people wasn't at issue.

    I think he would object if a straight person came in with same request.

    There's always some new way for the right to defend gun violence.

    It's conservatives who traditionally favored men marrying little girls. Look at Christian history. Look at the Muslim world today.

    the builder of a nuke is just selling plutonium also why would anyone care what someone does with it after they walk out the door?

    When someone is forced to do something that goes against their religion they are committing or are an accessory to the sin being committed against their God, or religion.

    The US gubmint has no jurisdiction to regulate religion under any title, to do so is to establish a state religion.

    Because as you say, "the seller is just selling a cake, the way the customer uses the cake is none of the sellers concern." So why would it matter that it is hateful?
