You are right about bigotry, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or other; it should not be practiced regardless of religious or non-religious convictions. I think your point about the cake decorator is spot on (even though many on the current "progressive persuasion of thought" would disagree with you. As to pursuit of happiness, happiness can be pursued within reason. There is freedom "with responsibility" as opposed to freedom "without regard to consequence to society at large" which is why we have the "rule of law" in our nation (thank God). Otherwise, we would have chaos. As to the way Jesus would treat folks who are practicing homosexual behavior, I believe that the case of the woman caught in adultery would be fitting (John 8:1-10). He did not condemn her, but he did not just "tolerate" or excuse her behavior. Through His compassion, and righteous judgment, she turned away from the behavior because it was "wrong in the sight of Jesus". Many are confused today about this issue. Yes, and everyone should be treated with dignity and respect - well stated!
