"Is some of the evidence being withheld then Jim?"
Huh????
"That does not make them bigots"
It makes their church bigoted for promoting such views
"The defendants are not a religious organisation"
The defendants declared that their reasons for refusing were religious ones.
So far, the augment here in favour of their bigotry has been to equate same sex marriage with "neo Nazism", paedophila and incest - pretty much in line with that taken by fundamental Christians (though though the Church here has claimed that a Yes vote is an infringement of Irish freedom - haven't worked that one out yet.
" so there was no discrimination"
Yes - the answer they gave was that they would discriminate against all who disagreed with them - blanket discrimination.
"If the Muslim baker would not make the cake because the customer was Gay he can and should be charged with discrimination."
Why not - don't the same laws apply to all (apparently not to some Christians, it would appear)?
Isn't it much easier to debate these issues when everybody emerges from their particular closet instead of claiming to believe one thing, then arguing the other????
Would that we could always do it
