ABSOLUTELY NOT!! Where did I say that "you must accept #1 wikipedia definition of MARRAGE" (is the definition I posted) or #2 "That you must accept my God as your own"? I defy you to find where I said you must. I am no way ashamed in my spirituality. In fact I EXPLICITLY said that I feel no need to force my God on you and I expect the same courtesy. Surprise, bub, but your religion is not the only religion in the world nor is it even the oldest! I know you would like to think it is but it is not.

The problem with this debate is that it only talks about conservative Christians. What about Orthodox Jews who live by the laws of the old testament scriptures? Homosexualtiy is an abomination! I wonder how a jewish bakery would respond to a demand to participate in a mockery of God's law? Maybe not all jewish bakeries would see it the same, but shouldn't a jew have the right to not participate? Also remember that marriage is a sacrament in the Catholic religion. So shouldn't the Catholic have a right to not participate in a mockery of God's sacraments?

America is a free country. So with that there are some things that we cannot legislate. It seems to me that it is the gay community who is forcing their beliefs and lifestile on others, not the other way around. If someone wants to practice their beliefs and not participate, then simply take your business elsewere.

How is that visa versa? It is the gay community who is suing a person because they choose to live according to their beliefs? These people who choose to not participate in a specific task that they believe to be an insult to God's word are not telling you you cannot be gay.

So how can America be a free country if the people don't practice respect and common sense? I personally if I were a baker would bake the cake for a gay couple because I would simply put the context of marriage in that instance as a worldly view of what marriage means and not my religious view and I would bake the cake with the same level of service and grattitude I would for any one else. But like I said in my previous post, being a free country that practices freedom of religion as outlined in our constution, we should respect that when someone holds to the laws of their religion as do the jews, we should not force them to do otherwise.

So I ask the gay comminuity to back off and quit forcing your lifestyle on others. It's really not hard to do. There are so many bakers and photographers and businesses who will provide you service in this ONCE GREAT, FREE, country called the United States.
