The icing on the cake for a same-sex wedding should be a Bible verse that calls for death to gay people, says Christian right radio host Kevin Swanson.
Swanson made the recommendation Wednesday on his Internet-based Generations With Vision program while discussing the Oregon bakery that had refused to make a cake for a lesbian couples wedding and subsequently closed its shop, although it is continuing as a home-based business.
If you bake a cake for a homosexual wedding you can put Leviticus 20:13 on the cake, said Swanson. He quoted the verse: If a man sleeps with a man as he sleeps with a woman the two of them have committed an abomination and they shall both be put to death. He also suggested that wedding guests hold up signs with the verse on them.
He said the Oregon bakery, Sweet Cakes by Melissa, was the victim of a Pink Mafia effort to control and shut down businesses that do not cooperate with their agenda.

(14,337 posts)As the straight, married mother of the bride, I could go to your store and ask for a wedding cake for my daughter, and pay for it myself. I could then tell you NOT to put up a bride and groom on top, because I want to use MY piece that I have saved for them. Object to that? I could then pick it up and deliver it myself. I could be very, very deceitful to these bigots and they would be making a cake for a LESBIAN wedding, and not even know it.
Of course, I would never do that because I would not give my money to bigots, but I COULD get them to bake a cake for a Gay Wedding as the parent. Jerks.

(1,135 posts)being (I can't call him a "man" specializes in, is emotional rape. Making oneself look better, at the expense of another, in a false manner.
It's a great defense for someone who has lots to hide in their own personal life.
So the more hateful Swanson gets, the bigger and uglier you can bet, are the secrets he's hiding.

Actually, all of Matthew 23 is pretty good. Jesus didn't have a hell of a lot of tolerance for the Kevin Swansons of his time.
