Breitbart.com<\/a> is reporting today that in Colorado<\/a> a baker can refuse to bake a cake decorated with a Bible<\/a> verse for Christians and face no consequences, but will face discrimination charges for refusing to bake a cake for a gay wedding<\/a>. Amazing.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Christian activist Bill Jack has denounced<\/a> a decision by the Civil Rights Division<\/a> of the Department of Regulatory Agencies, which found Azucar Bakery in Denver<\/a> not guilty of discrimination for refusing to bake a cake adorned with Bible quotes condemning sodomy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last March<\/a>, Jack went to Azucar Bakery<\/a> and requested two cakes to be decorated with biblical messages.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI requested two cakes, each in the shape of an open Bible. On the first cake I requested on one page, \u2018God hates sin \u2014 Psalm 45:7,\u2019 and on the facing page, \u2018Homosexuality is a detestable sin \u2014 Leviticus<\/a> 18:22,\u2019\u201d Jack said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jack also said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the second cake I requested on one page, \u201cGod loves sinners,\u201d and on the facing page, \u201cWhile we were yet sinners Christ died for us \u2013 Romans 5:8<\/a>.\u201d I also requested a decoration of two groomsmen holding hands with a cross in the background with a ghostbusters symbol over it to illustrate that such a union is unacceptable biblically.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Good Friday<\/a>, the Department of Regulatory Agencies handed down its decision that refusing such a request did not constitute discrimination.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I suppose we could debate that the Bible verse cake was offensive to the baker, but wasn’t the gay wedding cake<\/a> offensive to the Christian baker? If the man requested to bake the Bible cake has the right to refuse to bake that cake, then the man who is requested to bake a cake for a gay wedding also has the right to refuse. The law either applies to everyone, or it is not a just law.<\/p>\n

At some point people need to realize that when one person’s right is taken away, it gives the government permission to take away all of our rights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
