    No, there isn't.

    And if there were, you wouldn't know what it was.

    That's not "what the bible states in Genesis".

    In Bible days little girls were betrothed to old men to be married off by the age of 12. Is that your God's idea of marriage?

    It is in the "Principle" Mormon compounds in rural Utah and Montana and such. You know, those walled up Afghani... sorry, good wholesome American family homes, where the boys oddly enough all want to leave home to see the world as soon as they turn 15, "voluntarily." And conversely, none of the girls wants to see the world as soon as they grow into heifers, they all want to stay home in the walled compound and marry daddy's pedo patriarch friend, "voluntarily."
    Then of course what happens is, that every once in a while the boy goes home with an automatic carbine and shoots daddy and his friend. Which otherwise is called DIVINE JUSTICE!

    Have you ever read Genesis?
    God didn't want man to gain wisdom.
    "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil".
    But Adam and Eve did eat it.
    "When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it."
    So now they had wisdom and knew right from wrong.
    God was surprised they ate from the tree.
    10 He [Adam] answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”
    11 And he [God] said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”

    Then God got pissed off, because eating the fruit on knowledge was not part of his plan.
    17 To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’
    “Cursed is the ground because of you;
    through painful toil you will eat food from it
    all the days of your life.
    18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you,
    and you will eat the plants of the field.
    and bla bla bla

    So where was the error in what I stated?

    At least society is catching up.

    Whether they were going under before, or simply fell out of love with their business dream, or are genuinely pursuing their consciences according to some perverse assertion of self-interest, the conventional wisdom on these outcomes seems to be that they did it to themselves. On some level, people are thinking, “Well, you could have just made the fucking cake and found some other way to chase everyone away from your business beating your chest about the conscience of your bigotry.”

    This way, though, whatever the reasons one's business is going under, blaming the government and calling yourself a victim is one way to appeal to the fifteen minutes; maybe social media will bring them a pile of cash from sympathizers. Then again, it's not like we only left them a Negro―that is to say, nobody's dead―so it's not quite spectacular enough to get people sending that reward money.

    It seems like almost a side note, but watch how showbiz and the fifteen minutes become so many Americans' backup plans. Maybe one of these bakers will run for state legislature. Or, hell, Congress. House seats carry a low bar for admission among Republican voters.

    There's always that.

    "They are filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless."

    "There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

    Yep, that sounds like the Bible belt all right.

    Stating the obvious--with one major difference: Rather than deny it/deflect it (as you demonstrate) they own it, repent, and receive God's forgiveness through faith in the sinless God-Man Jesus Christ.

    That was awesome. Bible quote, Bible belt, Bible belief, bullshit called, here's a fuckin' rabbi.

    Best ... sequence ... well, not quite ever, but, come on, really.

    I would only make two points here:

    (1) In the first place, a faithless rabbi is just as faithless as a faithless Christian.

    (2) Really? You've got nothing left but open hate speech? Oh, right. Faithless religion, of course that gutter is the one we're down to.​
