Jon Stewart calls Rand Paul out on ‘religious freedom': "Don’t Christians sell cakes to adulterers?"

[kpete]

Daily Show host Jon Stewart pushed back against Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul on Tuesday for trying to frame opposition to same-sex marriages — and their wedding cakes — as a “religious freedom” issue.

“It seems like gay marriage looms a lot larger in the minds of certain conservatives than it does in the Bible,” Stewart told the GOP presidential candidate. “And the only thing I would say is, don’t they sell cakes to sinners all the time, adulterers?”

Stewart pointed out that if Paul were to enter a bakery looking for a wedding cake, the staff was not likely to ask him if he broke any commandments.

“It feels disingenuous,” he told the senator.

1. Why don't religious bakery owners give customers a questionaire?

Please complete the following:
Has either the bride or groom been divorced?
Will you swear that you haven't had sex yet?
Does the wedding dress contain a mixture of fabric?
and most importantly, will there be shellfish at this wedding?

Sorry, a yes answer means we don't approve and we can't make your cake.

2. We are going to miss him, big time.

At the end of that interview I felt just like Jon Stewart did..... I didn't understand much of whatever Rand was blathering about. Jon tried to make sense of it and really did a fine job with that smackdown on the "Christian businesses".
