You remember this story from a few days ago.

quote:

The reason given for the cancelation, according to Cobb, was that a member of the staff at the restaurant had looked up the organization’s website, which states that the group advocates "for policies based on Biblical principles that enable families to flourish at the state and local level", prompting the wait staff to refuse to serve the group.


Well it looks like the Christian group is getting some fan mail now

quote:

Since the incident went public, the Family Foundation says they have been inundated with hateful messages, dozens of which were obtained by Fox News Digital.

"F*** you, f*** your religion," one message with the subject line "kill yourself" stated. "Every single one of you should face retribution."

Another message referred to the group as "bible toting freaks" and used the phrase "Hail Satan!"

Cobb says she has not received any communication from the restaurant since the incident and would be "happy to chat" with ownership "any time" about the situation.

Fox News Digital reached out to Metzger Bar and Butchery and the establishment declined to comment beyond their social media explanation.

I thought the left wanted to force businesses to cater to any and all customers?

What happened to “bake them their cake you bigot?”

lol

You still don’t get it.

Nobody is saying their ability to speak should be suppressed.

But keep using your free speech on this platform to out yourself as a mouth breather.

valid point.

Personally, I loathe both statutory protected classes and public accommodation laws, because I think they are unconstitutional. But they exist.

So long as they exist, and so long as they apply to “religious affiliation,“ these people should definitely have been served by that restaurant.

It’s not surprising when the Left acts like unhinged lunatics, because most are unhinged lunatics.

If I weren’t consistent, I’d be nothing. Business owners have the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason.

I, personally, think refusing service for any ideological reason is simply bad business practices since the money is green and counts the same no matter whose hand it comes from.

But you can’t sit and holler “you have to serve gays their cakes” while at the same time calling for refusing service to Christian’s

Jesus said they will hate you as they hate me.

I pray for us all that God will show his mercy on us all on our day of judgement. None of us are worthy but Lord I pray you keep your hand on us and not let us fall from Grace.

I expect more and more anti-Christian sentiments to be expressed in the coming years. Christianity expressly stands against the desires of the world, and the innate hatred of Christ by the unregenerate will flow to His followers.

It has been successfully argued that telling someone to kill themselves is indeed not free speech when it's actually meant maliciously, but I digress, nobody was calling for them to be jailed.
