Let Us Eat Cake! (and Always Go Trick-orTreating!)

[Guest Starbuck]

August 13, 2015 …A state appeals court in Colorado ruled today that a baker could not cite religious beliefs in refusing to make wedding cakes for same-sex couples. The decision is the latest in a series of similar rulings across the country that have been cheered by civil rights groups but attacked by conservative Christians as assaults on religious liberty.

 

A unanimous three-judge panel of the Colorado Court of Appeals, in upholding the decision of the state Commission on Human Rights, rejected the argument that selling a cake to a gay couple was so great an infringement on the baker’s beliefs that it trumped anti-discrimination laws.

 

But Jeremy Tedesco, a senior attorney with the Alliance Defending Freedom, a Christian legal group based in Arizona, insisted, “Our client did not engage in sexual-orientation discrimination.” Tedesco argued that an objection to same-sex marriage was not the same as discriminating against a gay person and noted that the baker, Jack Phillips, of Masterpiece Cakeshop in Lakewood, Colo., also refused to make cakes celebrating Halloween because he associates the holiday with Satan.

 

Yeah.

I just can't grasp the religious justification in this argument. It's a cake! Do these individuals believe their cakes are divine vessels? They are not officiating the ceremony or giving the couple their blessing, they are only baking and decorating a cake. What a disconnect.

If a little piece of dry bread can be a divine vessel, I don't see why a nice moist piece of cake couldn't.

Of course we're glad we won but, honestly,

this is the worst damn cake I ever tasted!

Come to think of it, my niece Kathy bakes a chocolate layer cake that just might qualify.
