If someone who is clearly gay walks in and asks for a birthday cake, they would leave with a birthday cake. That fact has already been established by every baker currently facing the wrath of the gays.
OK. If YOU say so.

While those of you who seem to think the world owes you a living and you can just sit back and take a free ride,
When I see that type comment I know the mindset I'm dealing with. A typical right wing assumption not based in any knowledge of fact, just a feeble attempt to degrade. I started working at 14 and kept right on going. How about you?

Correction. That's not quite true. You're not getting it. Concentrate, MH. Focus:
If a gay person asks a baker to bake a birthday cake for him, I don't think a Christian would refuse to.
But, making cakes that celebrate the union of a gay couple, is another story.
I don't know what's so hard to understand about that.
Anyway, what isn't a sin to you......may be considered a sin by the baker.
You don't have any authority to dictate to anyone what they should or shouldn't see as a sin (after all, you lack knowledge of the Scriptures in the first place)....and, most importantly, I think you don't believe Jesus Christ is who He claims to be, according to the Scriptures. You and the baker aren't on the same page, so to speak.
One doesn't need to focus at all on what is an obvious attempt to deflect. I don't suppose a person walking into a bakery to ask for a birthday cake bothers to inform the baker of their sexual orientation. Perhaps if they did in the example you suggest, this baker would refuse. Bottom line is freedom of sexual orientation is protected by law in this country. If your religiosity causes you to discriminate against someone due to their sexual orientation, you're in contravention.

I hate to disappoint you but your life is not your own. It belong to God and he will decide when it ends, whether you believe it or not. You are also not your own authority in many ways and never have been. When you grew up your mother or parents, whatever the case, decided many things for you and had some authority over you. You are required to obey the laws of the land and cannot do whatever you please. So no you are not your own boss in many ways. You are under authorities.
Well I hat to disappoint you, but my life is no ones but mine and I will certainly try to be a party to decide when it ends. If I have a heart attack or forget to look both ways and step in front of a bus well that's the way the world goes round. And of course parents (hopefully) do parental duties. Then you grow up and move on and become responsible for yourself. I'm not sure what your reference to my abiding by, let's say, the speed limit on the road has anything to do with god?

When you use the term "right" (to take one's own life, you are reciting a man-made dogma repeated by people who do not know God or the Bible. Human life belongs to God and he is the only one to decide when it ends. It is folly to put one's self in the place of God and attempt to make those kind of decisions or applaud them.
Talk about a man made dogma. Holy shit. My life belongs to me and nobody else. It has been my job to decide what to do with it pretty much once I no longer needed my mothers breast for sustenance. I'll continue to guide it as best I can until my final day. Don't need any artificial interference from whatever type of religious nonsense man has created.

Doctors have an assortment of medications they use today to make patients last days be as comfortable as possible. There are professionals who are experienced and know all about these things.
Sure, there are drugs that will quell the pain and make you comatose and keep you alive for weeks/months until the inevitable happens. Why would you take away a persons right to ask not to have to go through all that and just cut them loose when it is determined there is no hope for recovery?

Of course Satan wouldn't want you to believe he has anything to do with it. Your best hope is in the pages of the King James Bible.
"Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8:31, 32. We are prisoners until God sets us free. We can be controlled by the system of this world, some ideology such as humanism, Marxism, Communism, etc. until we are set free. Jesus said he came to set the prisoners free. Suggest the Gospel of John and Proverbs.
You actually believe in Satan do you?

The totalitarian system, as in China and North Korea, is a poor system to be trying to emulate. Doctors who have trained for their field have a right to be able to continue to be caregivers and protectors of human life. Anyone interested in the profession and believes in the sanctity of life has the right to choose to be a doctor without interference by councillors of death.
Nobody needs to be taking their own life. It is foolish to be suggesting it is acceptable for anyone to be taking their own life (or anyone else's). The medical system has palliative care with powerful medications to ease the pain of those requiring it to make their last days as comfortable as possible.
Today there are people debating the possibility of changing the system to allow doctor-assisted suicide for children, mentally ill and infants. We are swiftly moving toward the Nazi ideology of final solutions for people. The medical system may quietly embrace this as a way to terminate those they deem have lived long enough or whose life is not worth living and thus save the system money.
Mercy is not a word that fits in with any kind of suicide.
All that needs said to that is "paranoia will destroy ya". You don't see the difference between ending your own life and killing someone else? I wouldn't of course agree that someone should kill themselves because the Maple Leafs lost last night, but if one is in pain with no hope for recovery why do you assume the right to make them suffer up until what was inevitable anyway?

So you're saying they went to that bakery so they could get some headlines? Again, put up or shut up.

Well, I'm glad you asked ...because YES, I DO.
Well you can think what you want, but you have no way to support that. I wonder why you think they would do that. Maybe they just wanted a damn cake so they went to a cake store. Why would they bother to go somewhere they thought they might be denied? Makes absolutely zero sense.

BTW - We all have places that don't service what we may want for a variety of reasons, but only the lesbians would seek it out and sue over it.
Oh I don't know, I might sue if a company denied me service because they found out I don't go to their church.

Well, Duh! Of course it's because of her religion - that's never been in doubt.
And, if she wasn't Christian, there's no way that this lesbian couple would've even asked for a wedding cake.
How the hell did you reach that conclusion I wonder? Do you think the couple purposely planned to go bug a Christian baker?

Refusing A service! You still don't see the difference huh?
Because of religion. You still don't see the connection do ya?

The tariffs have little to do with "hurting adversaries"...U.S. federal law gives the president executive power to protect strategic interests when it comes to raw materials and defence. Trump wants to renew domestic production capabilities for steel and aluminum, increase jobs, keep a campaign promise, etc.
It's not called the "Rust Belt" for nothing, and remember how much Ontario freaked out over U.S. Steel and Stelco ?
When it comes to this topic, Canada is not an ally...it is a competitor.
You actually think this latest Trump stab in the dark was doen to protect strategic interests? hahaha. It is another feeble attempt to deflect from the chaos that follow him day to day. In fact if he is allowed to follow through, (which I'm sure he will not) all he would do is drive up costs to US citizens and cost US jobe. All the softwood lumber thing did was drive up the cost of building a house in the US. It's hilarious listening to you and yours trying to deflect for him though.

The objective was probably not to collapse the towers but just to damage them. They probably had no idea the towers would collapse.
That could well be but then something else makes one wonder if they didn't know, or at least hope they would collapse. Those buildings were designed to withstand the impact of an aircraft of the size of a 767 at 250 knots maximum. That is the speed restriction for aircraft below 10,000 feet in controlled airspace. Analysis of video shows the planes hitting the towers were travelling at slightly under and slightly over 500 knots. As we know the impact is a product of mass times velocity. Maybe they knew that.

You are not very familiar with demolitions, are you. I'm sure there are members of this forum who can explain the process better than I. Perhaps you could discuss it with an army engineer.
One way you can drop a tower is to blow the legs out from underneath a top portion of it and let that top portion drop down onto the under sections and you don't need more explosive. The weight of the falling portion will collapse what's underneath and you end up with a pile of rubble more or less contained in a relatively small area. UBL worked for his fathers construction company in the demolition section. He probably knew all about that.

Well, you were wondering as to how they may have got all those explosives in without anyone paying attention to their movements. I gave you answer.
"Plumbing supplies" hahahaha. I have heard some whacko ideas but buddy that one takes the cake.

It's my country, with which I do NOT agree on accommodating, encouraging and supporting terrorists. You are free to leave if this doesn't suit you.
Such a ridiculous comment I will just ignore. But if you want to call it your country, you must support it's laws, or seek to change them. If one simply happens to be a racist it's not a reasonable argument for any changes.

How so? I made that post over an hour ago, surely if it didn't make common sense, somebody would've come forward with a concrete argument. Maybe you can explain where I'm wrong.
Your opening statement lays the groundwork WCR refers to. A contradiction right off the bat.

If I owned a bake shop I think I would bake a Muhammad cake and display it front and center in my shop window, and hope a gay Muslim would come in to buy it.
