It is against Christian scripture.              I realize that you believe that to be true, but it is irrelevant to the bakery       issue. If a baker refuses to sell a cake to a gay couple, I really doubt that       that would have the result of turning them straight. Baking a cake does not       make one a party to an alleged sin.                            --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Dada-1        * Origin: Prism bbs (1:261/38)    |
