Atheists and Cakes

[Amarok]

Look. Ms. Brown doesn't have any quarrel with the homosexuals . She isn't out to make life hard for them.

It's just she doesn't want to be implicated in their lifestyle (her words not mine.)

If she ever were approached or sued over not baking a pastry for them...well she might be sued into oblivion and her little bakery shop (not giving the name out) would be forced to close.

Maybe you all don't realize it, but its so much more than a bakery. Its an essential organ of Foxborough. Ive seen lives transformed there.

For instance, Shortly before thanksgiving I was shopping there for a pie or two. Out of the corner of my eye I saw young Travis Buford (Tom Buford's eldest) try to make off with a cranberry plum cake.

I grabbed him by his shirt collar and ordered him to approach Ms. Brown, admit what he had done and ask her forgiveness.

He actually cried and told her he was sorry and begged her not to call the police or tell his father ( Tom Buford is a good man..but a hard man and one given to the drink.)

She showed him mercy. She didn't call the cops or his father but she "requested" he help her can marmalade and jelly into glass cans. After he was finished she gave him a pocket new testament and told him to focus on the story of the apostle Paul. Like Travis, Paul was once a sinner who did great things for the Lord.

This past month Ive been seeing a lot more of Travis. He comes to church regularly (he hardly ever did before) is clean and scrubbed up looking, and is kind to all he meets. I haven't heard of him being at the  bar in town for a while, and I saw him with a very respectable young girl outside the hickory tree. It was young Sally Pitcher, a good Christian girl. I sure hope his life is turned around now.

Travis Buford is just one of many Ms. Brown has won to the lord's cause and it has brought far more than just baked goods to Foxborough and the surrounding counties and towns.

I pray that the atheist leagues will just leave us and our cute little bakery in peace.. but I have my doubts

Just do what we do in the deeper south.  If one of them starts yappin nonsense, we take their smartphone from them, bend them over our knee, and give them a new perspective on life.  After that, hand back their phone.  The swift justice approach has a quick way of getting them to reconsider their approach.

Hate to say this but but my next response would be a swift kick to the face

She clearly is by denying them a service she would give straight people . That's making things harder .

Tough then she should not have opened a business . 

If she ever were approached or sued over not baking a pastry for them...well she might be sued into oblivion and her little bakery shop (not giving the name out) would be forced to close.

Too bad 

Maybe you all don't realize it, but its so much more than a bakery. Its an essential organ of Foxborough. Ive seen lives transformed there.

Well then she shouldn't be denying people a service she clearly cares more about her backward views then the community (of which I assume homosexual are a part )

What the hell does that have to do anything 

I grabbed him by his shirt collar and ordered him to approach Ms. Brown, admit what he had done and ask her forgiveness.

Yeah uh huh got a point ?

He actually cried and told her he was sorry and begged her not to call the police or tell his father ( Tom Buford is a good man..but a hard man and one given to the drink.)

Seriously get the point your folksy rambling is not charming 

She showed him mercy. She didn't call the cops or his father but she "requested" he help her can marmalade and jelly into glass cans.

No one cares

No one cares and don't use real names online

Is she denying gays the same service as straights that's reason enough
