Atheists and Cakes

[The Grand Nudger]

That's just what those elitist cake snobs say, Nata.  If we open the door for one asshole..we can't really complain when a horde of them pile the entrance.

That's why our courts keep punting this one.

Proof?  Or just more tears as per your usual grumbling?  One minute crying about the law, then "boo hoo" when the highest country in our nation disagrees with your nonsense and affirms what is law.

Go look it up for yourself.  I'll be here waiting for your mea culpa.

(jk, we both know that you wont look it up, and that it's even less likely, if you did, for you to follow through and just say "huh, guess they didn't actually side with the bakers right to discriminate, and punted it back")

It’s not about the difficulty of making the product. It’s about whether the baker is using creative input or following directions. Are you simply purchasing the bakers time and skill with food, or are you asking that he make aesthetic choices?

My line, which I seem to be working through, is that. If you come in with a drawing or photo and a list of parts, that is a commodity. If you ask the baker to design it for you, that is a creative product. Now yes, this means that the gay couple gets worse customer service than the straight couple, but people are assholes and I’m not sure I see a way around that.

Only I can place the pickles just right...I have an artistic eye for pickle placement. 

Now, I get it, you may think that this is ridiculous, but it's no more or less ridiculous than a guy who throws flour and sugar into a form pan and cranks out a pastry. Let's not kid ourselves, we both know that cake shops ingredients come prebagged and the ovens are purpose built. They have an assembly line too..it;s just good business. I crank out delicious bread and pies and cakes from scratch on a daily basis and I'm not exactly going to field some nonsense about how that makes me the vangogh of dough...but if we grant credence to that argument in one case and deny it in some other.........
