Court: Christians can be ordered to violate beliefs

Via Cousin John



A ruling from Judge Tim L. Garcia in the New Mexico Court of Appeals says states can require Christians to violate their faith in order to do business, affirming a penalty of nearly $7,000 for a photographer who refused to take pictures at a lesbian “commitment” ceremony in the state where same-sex “marriage” was illegal.

Judge’s Cynthia Fry and James Wechsler joined in the ruling by Garcia, which involved Elane Photography, whose owners, Elaine and Jonathan Huegeunin, are Christians and declined to do photography for lesbians Vanessa Willock and another woman.

  1. SO.... What id the Judge going to say when some Muslim decides the same thing?

    Slippery slope much?
    But then again Liberals don't really think more than "FREE COFFEE" in front of them, do they?

  2. I think this is a GREAT THING, personally!!

    Read the article!

    The decision said they could do the job but denounce the whole thing loudly while taking the pics!

    Henceforth?

    Sure, ladies - but you need to understand that my religion says lesbians are sinners and are going to hell - and it requires me to say so at every opportunity, so...

    I'd LOVE to do your wedding, so long as you understand that I'll be Faith-bound to preach The Gospel while I'm doing your photography!

    That'll be OK, won't it?

    Hey!

    Where are you going?

    Was it something I said??"

  4. Who knows? You might save someone. ; ) They should give out literature too.

    All kidding aside though, that judge is a dumbass. Government needs to stay out of business, period.

  6. Whatever happened to just saying NO to these unconstitutional and unBiblical 'requirements'?

    Screw 'em.
