EC>Completely different.


Not at all. Which you admit in your very next paragraph:


EC>Lending or selling someone a car does not
EC>make you a participant in whatever they DO with that car later.


Not if you DON't KNOW what they're going to do with it.


However:


EC>And if
EC>you know they are going to rob a bank and do not report it, that makes you
EC>an accessory to the crime whether you lent them the car or not.


And if you are a Christian baker who KNOWS a wedding cake ordered from you is
intended to celebrate a s-called `wedding' between two same-sex sodomites, and
you bake it for them anyway, that makes you an accessory to sodomy!


>>> The wedding can happen with or without a photographer.


>> It can happen with or without a wedding cake, also.


>> Exactly.

> Ah...then you AGREE that the cake really has no bearing on whether or not

EC>That was exactly what I said.  In this case the wedding HAD ALREADY
EC>HAPPENED in fact, so the photographer and the baker had no connection to
EC>it HAPPENING.


Then....what, exactly, is the problem these two same-sex sodomites have? If
they're already `married'....what's the beef? The baker is within their rights
to refuse to be a party to sodomy, or even any appearance of participating in
such on religious grounds.


Freedom of Religion is either real, or it isn't. I strongly suspect that, if
this were a bakery owned and operated by a family of Islamics, we would not be
having this exchange because this would never have come up in a court.


Why take a case to a court over a *Christian* bakery? Feels like a put-up job
to me.
