Christian Baker Out of Business, Faces Bankruptcy Over Gay Marriage Beliefs

by Sara Noble • September 30, 2014

They lost their bakery and now they face bankruptcy.
LGBTs boycotted him, his suppliers, and his customers until he was out of business.
A baker who thought he was within his legal rights to refuse to bake a cake for a lesbian wedding faces fines in excess of $150,000 which will bankrupt him.
He served the couple before – it wasn’t about them, it was about the event.
The baker and his wife are Christians who are opposed to gay marriage.
The state of Oregon did not recognize gay marriage at the time and they thought they were well within their legal rights.
It appears that the goal of the state and the lesbian couple is to destroy this Christian baker and his wife.

MSNBC Host: Declining to Take Gay Wedding Photos Is ‘Bigotry’

By Katie Yoder | October 8, 2014 | 2:31 PM EDT

This MSNBC host appears better at exemplifying “convoluted” than defining it.
MSNBC host Alex Wagner celebrated how the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit “struck down two more same-sex bans” in Idaho and Nevada during “NOW with Alex Wagner” on Oct. 7. During a panel, she addressed the “convoluted argument” of religious liberty by calling religious exceptions “carve-outs for bigotry.”
To introduce the segment, Wagner gushed that the Court of Appeal’s move “comes on the heels of a landmark Supreme Court un-ruling on marriage equality,” and “is expected to bring the grand total of states allowing gay and lesbian Americans to marry the person they love to a whopping 35.”
When Republican strategist Hogan Gidley, a guest panelist, brought up religious liberty, Wagner criticized him, asking, “Don't you think that is a convoluted argument to say it is denying people religious liberty to let other people enter into marriage?”

Gidley replied, “If you're going to tell me you can force people who take wedding pictures to take pictures of a gay wedding, you can force them by law, then why can't I force an African-American bakery to bake a cake for a white supremacist group? Or a Jewish group to handle meat and in unkosher manner for another function?”
“If you want special carve-outs for bigotry,” Alex sneered, “we can have that discussion.”
New York Times reporter and MSNBC contributor Josh Barro chimed in, “there is an enormous generational divide, including a majority of young Republicans in favor of gay marriage. The people on your side of this issue literally are dying every day.” As if that changes the truth.
The media, particularly the networks, have turned a blind eye in the past to the gay rights movement's threat to businesses with owners with religious convictions.

What we are seeing here is completely understandable.

Atheists, agnostics, and secular humanists have ushered in the Judgement of Almighty God, who is no respecter of persons or nations.

God has destroyed mighty empires for this, and the USA will be no exception.

The Greeks and Romans promoted and practiced homosexuality and the general population initially accepted it. Craig Turner offers a summary of the history:
“The practice of homosexuality in the Roman Empire had increased during the early years until the Romans accepted and adopted the pederasty [love of boys] of the Greeks (fornication with boys ages 12 to 1. Though at first the acts were considered acceptable only if the boy was a slave, the Romans eventually extended their tolerance of homosexual acts to adult men, both free and slave. Same-sex marriage, once unthinkable, was not far behind.
“Early Roman poets and critics wrote about the practice, from Juvenal's satire that mentions Gracchus, who ‘arrayed himself in the flounces and train and veil of a bride,’ to Martial, a first-century poet who observed that homosexual marriage was not uncommon in the empire during the first century. Both Juvenal and Martial gave us accounts of men who ‘played the bride’ in wedding ceremonies, wearing bridal veils like women.
“But our most detailed images of homosexual marriages come from the descriptions of Roman emperors. Nero, a depraved first-century emperor, married at least two men. He wed Pythagoras in a formal same-sex wedding by first putting on a bridal veil that made Nero the ‘bride’ and Pythagoras the ‘groom.’ Every symbol of a classical marriage was present at this ceremony: a dowry, marriage bed, torches, and witnesses. Tacitus, the great Roman historian who records the event, even alludes to the fact that Nero engaged in coitus with the man in front of all the guests, stating that ‘everything was public which even in a natural union is veiled by night.’”
There’s more to this sordid sexual history that few Americans know anything about. What many Americans do know is the history of the fall of Greece and Rome.
