They haven't a prayer.  Actually it's worse than that, they don't have a hope in hell.

Prayerful consideration!! I'm starting to think this is all about advertising/publicity and getting the 'Brand' Ashers out there... would like to know whether their profits have increased over this period

Indeed, but on a positive note, there'll be lots more pictures of the dutiful (and beautiful) wife splashed all over the papers, which is all right by an atheist like me

I feel sorry for Ashers and applaud them for standing up for their beliefs.Gay marriage is contrary to Christian teaching so how can Christians be reasonably expected to endorse it in any way shape or form?

No gays have been stoned to death, nor any adulterers either, thus there must be no Christians who follow Scripture in the Western World.

It's not an endorsement... A business (Businesses cannot be CHristian btw) were asked to carry out a business function and failed to do so on the grounds of discrimination! QED

T Fearon

How can a Christian who runs a business be expected to engage in any business transaction that endorses practices that are contrary to Christian teaching?

Always thought this was an interesting case. Feel some degree of sympathy with them in that I'm sure they would have provided a cake with no slogan. It was the message they had the issue with.

It wouldn't be custom I'd turn down but I can see where they are coming from.
