  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Wait a moment, what is “a Christian restaurant”?
Click to expand...
A restraunt that has a owner that is a Christian, (Chick-fil-a) would be an example

Just as Jack Phillips in Colorado is a Christian baker and business owner, that was targeted and harassed by the homosexual community over the past 5-6 years, drug into court several times for denying services to homosexuals

Pommer the local after church diner owned by Christians, isn't going to host the same sex wedding reception in their banquet facitities, it's that simple

Conclusion: The days of the homosexual community targeting Christians in their business services are over

It has to do with answering a post in the thread, and your post that followed

Why did you respond to what you consider off topic, because you were compelled to do so and I answered

No, it would not apply in that circumstance. There is no creative expression involved in renting a banquet hall. The banquet hall is just existing there as a banquet hall.

Even if the entire theme and motif of the restaurant was "Christianana," if a same-sex couple entered the restaurant and wanted to order something Christian off the menu and enjoy that "Christian ambiance," the restaurant could not deny them. If that same-sex couple is willing to order the "Loaves and Fishes" entree off the menu, the restaurant can't refuse to serve it to them.

Unless every dish prepared in the restaurant is an individually created work of cuisine art designed specially by the chef for that particular customer to that customer's non-Christian wishes, it would not apply to a Christian-owned restaurant.

Jack Phillips cannot turn away a homosexual who wants to buy a chicken sandwich, at least not in a state with laws prohibiting discrimination by sexual orientation. The Supreme Court ruling does not allow that at all.

You didn't understand the ruling.

I'm a portrait photographer, and I wear my Christianity on my sleeve in my studio and in my work. It's in the name of my business. I'm playing contemporary gospel music in my studio. You walk in the front door and there is a cross on the wall right in front of you. If the opportunity arises, I'm going to mention Jesus. The portraits I take are suitable for Christian morality. That's standard. Everyone gets that. I'm not changing that for anyone. If a homosexual couple is willing to accept all that....I consider it an appointment by the Holy Spirit. They must really want some gospel, even if they don't realize it.

I Disagree

The example surrounded a "same sex wedding reception" at a Christian owned banquet facility, not the distraction of homosexuals dining at a individual table as you move away from the presented example

It's my opinion that a Christian business wouldn't be obligated to provide its service and banquet facility against their religious belief, as homosexuality is condemned in the bible

I Disagree, Jesus Is The Lord

You totally fail to understand the ruling. Your opinion is not the opinion of the Supreme Court.

I'm fully aware of the ruling, as if your teaching me something, your not

Jack Phillips denied to make cakes depicting homosexuality, and the recent ruling covers such, it's a settled matter

If a homosexual desires service at a restraunt table, ice cream stand, clothing store, etc, it shouldn't be denied based upon their perceived sexual preference, and I agree

If a homosexual same sex wedding reception desires to rent my restraunt banquet facility it will be denied based upon my religious belief, it's that simple

Gorsuch blasts Sotomayor's dissent in Christian web designer ruling: 'Reimagines' facts from 'top to bottom'​


"Consistent with the First Amendment, the Nation’s answer is tolerance, not coercion," Gorsuch wrote. "The First Amendment envisions the United States as a rich and complex place where all persons are free to think and speak as they wish, not as the government demands. Colorado cannot deny that promise consistent with the First Amendment."

"In this case, Colorado seeks to force an individual to speak in ways that align with its views but defy her conscience about a matter of major significance," Gorsuch wrote in the majority opinion.

So regarding such a big story, 4 days, and 7 pages, later, we still really don't know what this is all about?

Investigative journalism just isn't what it used to be.

Yes, maybe the conservative trustee should just shut up about stuff she has no evidence for.

Where is your evidence that she has no evidence? Just because your source failed to give any detail; doesn't mean that she didn't make your source aware of the details. We often see this with biased journalism. They'll omit key details to spin the story in a way to play on the emotions of their readers. Sometimes there would be no story at all, if they presented all of the facts; but that wouldn't sell papers.

I suspect that this story is politically motivated. If it was such a big story, why isn't there any follow up with the facts? Why aren't multiple news sources covering it?

I think it's just the deception of some Liberal journalist, who got all pouty; because educators decided to take his favorite brand of political propaganda out of the classrooms, to make room for subjects that will produce productive members of society.
