Reply to comment by Cabin_Sandwich in New Donut Shop Opening in Saint Albans, Vermont by Current_Procedure_20

Someone’s religion has nothing to do with me or how I live my life, and honestly why does it matter to anyone else? If someone isn’t personally doing anything to you, why do you care? Do you visit other establishments and refuse to go there or eat there when they have Hindu or budda things displayed in their restaurant or establishment? No, because why would anyone personally care? Live your life the way you choose, and vice versa.

Really? Because I possess empathy? Buddha isn’t currently banning books and calling me a groomer there buddy.

“Why does it matter to anyone else?”

Because millions of Christians actively spread anti-LGBT beliefs. Not saying that you do, but at the very least you should understand that association.

I understand what you are saying, and that’s why I have to be a representation of what God wants me to be. I’m not following religion, I am following Jesus and He is love. I love everyone and really truly don’t concern myself with someone else’s life in that way, because I have my own life to worry about. I’m just trying to use my platform to show the world that we need more love, and less hate. We need to try and help each other as best as we can, and as I grow we will do that. We will help underprivileged people, the average working person, anyone we can. And to me, doing that is glorifying God and I stand behind that. I treat people with love and kindness, and can only speak and stand behind what I do and not what others do.

Does that mean you'll cater to a gay wedding?

That all sounds good - I wish all Christians felt that way instead of being hateful bigoted hypocrites

So I’m other words you judged this business just because of there religion but nothing elts. You sound like the hicks that talk bad about a whole religion just because of a bad group of people that associate themselves with it.

Huh? No I didn’t judge anything, I was just responding to OP’s question about why flaunting their religion in the store’s marketing material might “matter” to people.

Unless said business person is spreading hate towards lgbtq people I don’t understand how just because she believes in god that it might matter to people.. that’s like saying if someone’s a Muslim you shouldn’t say you are at your business because there are Islamic terrorist out in the world
