Atheists and Cakes

[Mister Agenda]

Heres a question for you:

Why do so many atheists  want to force Christian bakers to bake cakes for gay couples?

They don't approve of the lifestyle and deem it immoral. I fully believe that is their right.

Why must a devout Christian have to bake a cake to celebrate something he or she does not believe in?

Please tell me.

Because most of us don't believe 'my religion says so' to be a valid reason to exempt someone from equal application of the law. In states where public accommodation laws don't allow discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, that law applies to everyone who runs a business that is a place of public accommodation; that is, a place where the general public is considered to have a reasonable expectation that they won't be discriminated against; such as hotels, bakeries, restaurants, convenience stores, etc. Places where people have a reasonable expectation of service, not a 'sorry, I don't agree with your lifestyle'. Like a Muslim bartender who won't serve alcohol, you're simply in the wrong business if you think your religion prohibits you from conducting it according to the law.

I'm unfamiliar with the part of the Bible that says Christians should be exempt from such laws. If you'll point it out, I'm very interested.
