It could be argued that Christians, because of the nature of our beliefs, are all activists working against the LGBTQ community, and thus, all Christians are enemies of the values of this restaurant.

So yes, I do see where a temporary political distinction can be made, but it's not a leap at all to say all Christians fall into this category by the content of our beliefs.


Poll after poll indicate that the majority of those that identify as Christian in the US support marriage equality, which this group opposes. So to say that all Christians fall into that category appears incorrect. You could say in your opinion they SHOULD fall in that category

You're talking about the difference between what a religion categorically teaches and what professed followers of that religion actually accept and believe about it. Christianity for 2,000 years has taught that there are things that are sins that should not be accepted or promoted, and homosexuality is one of those sins.

There are undoubtedly many professing Christians who don't hold that position, but they are bucking against what their professed religion has taught for a long, long time, and which their holy book also teaches. So my point is that those who adhere to what the religion actually teaches will eventually be inseparable from the political groups that actively lobby or preach against the LGBTQ community, and those orthodox Christians who are faithful to the standards they claim to believe as true will be seen as part of that political force that should not have a place in society.

People who actually go to church still oppose gay marriage. So actual adherents of Christianity are not in favor of gay marriage.

My strategy when dealing with trannies and gay dudes from now on will be "My a-hole don't feel safe."

So I can refuse them business.

When you start banning people, that's they kind of world you inherit.

I didn't start this shite. But I sure can participate like the other side does.

So if a church allows for gay marriage you do not consider that church a Christian church?

I'd question their commitment to the truth if they allowed for such a thing.

Allowing gay "marriage" is a symptom of a larger problem, usually a low view of the scriptures.

I see no problem with this. Private business can deny who they want. They can also suffer whatever consequences for their choice.

Same thing goes for bakers and website designers who don't want to serve gays.

It appears the left is ok with us banning gays and other protected groups if we choose. Thats the message I receive from this.

Does the restaurant serve penis shaped pancakes and offer to cater ritual human sacrifice events?

No telling, but when humans are afraid for their safety because of other humans just because of beliefs, those people are not fit for society.

Folks need to pay more attention to businesses and support the ones who aren't insane. Most restaurants are owned by bat shite crazy progressives, do your research.

Look at all that free speech



Is anyone advocating for it not to be Free, Che?


Here is a perfect example of hos the left are so forking morally decrepit that they can't believe you are not they as disgusting as they are.

Oklagirl reads the post and thinks we think like she does. Assumes we were advocating for restrictions on free speech because we think the emails were disgusting.

There is hope but is doesn't stem from man. If man is what you are hoping will save this world, then you harbor a false hope.

Further confirmation that we have the privilege to live thru a portion of The End Times, Christians under attack, Good is perceived as Evil & vice Versa.

Anyone that supports the left will have their judgement day soon. And when that door slams In their faces and reality kicks in, they’ll maybe then, figure out they messed up BIGLY
