    On the show "What would you Do" will be about a baker refusing a homosexual couple request to bake a cake for their wedding.

    Of course the baker and the "couple" are actors.
    The purpose of the TV show is to get the response of other shoppers.

    In the promo - the baker is laying it on thick-
    I don't think a true Christian would be so dogmatic about refusing service.

    So, if you were in that bakery - What would you Do?

    I do plan on watching.....

    This episode is based on an actual event.

    If I were the baker, i would refuse to bake the cake. We should not do anything that could send a message that we approve of such ungodly unions.

    If i were a mere shopper and heard the discussion, I would tell the two seeking the baker's servicesthat he had given them his decision and they needed to move on.

    Man's law does not supercede God's Law. We cannot condone that which God identifies as abomination.

    A store owner has a right to refuse service to anyone he chooses.

    Even if you do not like their beliefs, sexuality, etc.
    We need to serve them no matter what. As it is against the law to discriminate.

    They are making those who oppose this abnormal behavior look like idiots. It's a trap.

    Sexual orientation is not a protected class.

    Hmm. Sounds kinda like the church shouldn't be voting for a Mormon as we should not be doing anything that could send a message that we approve of such ungodly beliefs.
