Townhall Review | Conservative Commentary On Today's NewsAlbert Mohler: Masterpiece Cake Shop And The Future Of Religious Liberty
This past Tuesday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case formally known as “Masterpiece Cake Shop vs. The Colorado Civil Rights Commission.”
In terms of religious liberty, there has been no recent case before the Supreme Court more important than this one.
The backstory is that in 2012, Jack Phillips, the owner of Masterpiece Cake Shop, denied a request made by two men to create a cake in order to celebrate their marriage.
Jack Phillips and his attorneys from the Alliance Defending Freedom argue that in requiring Jack Phillips to make a cake, and thus compelling him to use his artistic expression in support of same-sex marriage, the Colorado Civil Rights Commission is violating his religious liberty and protection against forced speech.
What we are looking at here is basically the sexual revolutionaries bullying a baker. This baker and that profession will not be the last.
On religious liberty, there’s been no recent case before the Supreme Court nearly so important as this one on Masterpiece Cake Shop.
