Walk a second mile as well.
I saw this on Facebook today, and I must admit it has made me think. The post was in regards to someone being required to bake a cake for a gay wedding.... We all know the scenario.
Adapting this teaching of Jesus the poster then said "if you should be forced to bake a cake for a gay wedding, bake for them two"
To that I would add "..... And give them the cakes at no charge".
Such an action would be, IMO, fully in keeping with Jesus teachings about being forced to do things against your will. The persons providing the service does not harm the couple, and also does not gain from the transaction. In that way, they can also keep their own conscience clear.
In a world where personal liberties sometimes operate at cross purposes I think this option is a winner.
Thoughts?
