Subject: RE: BS: Can't have your gay cake and eat it
"I'm all for stamping out discrimination. But that's not what the McArthurs did to Gareth Lee. Their consciences simply wouldn't allow them go against the Bible. And now they've been dragged through the courts for it.

And, yes, I feel sorry for them – not because I agree with their beliefs but because they are now being pilloried for them.

If Gareth Lee wanted to make a point at a time Ireland was deciding on gay marriage, why not ask a Muslim bakery to make a cake with a slogan supporting it? I suspect he wouldn't dare – yet two middle-aged, peace-loving Christians were fair game.

Christians get a bad rap in this country. We're happy to protect the beliefs of Muslims, gays, ethnic minorities, fatties. But no one gives a stuff about Christians who are increasingly portrayed as evil old bigots."
