Are you sure about that? Like, a cake depicting human sacrifice to Satan, and your random baker couldn't say "uhm, no, I don't do those"?
- Retric 5y agoRejection was based on context not content. “Masterpiece's owner Jack Phillips, who is a Christian, declined their cake request, informing the couple that he did not create wedding cakes for marriages of gay couples owing to his Christian religious beliefs, although the couple could purchase other baked goods in the store. Craig and Mullins promptly left Masterpiece without discussing with Phillips any of the details of their wedding cake.”
- xcdfgvd 5y agoSo if the cake is going to be used during a Satanic human sacrifice ritual, they need to make it?
- heavyset_go 5y agoThat might make them accomplices/accessories in a crime if they knew about the human sacrifice, so I'd hope not.

- Retric 5y agoClearly religion isn’t a blanket free pass to do anything, otherwise the baker would have won the case. This is needed as religions do actually prescribe stoning people to death for example. So a symbolic ritual sacrifice is protected, but an actual human sacrifice isn’t.
