Colorado baker stands by his beliefs, says he would go to jail to keep from making cake for same-sex wedding
I give Jack Phillips a lot of credit here for continuing to stand by his Christian beliefs and not to allow the world to dictate to him what he should do with them. In an interview on Fox and Friends this morning he said he would be willing to go to jail, if that’s what it takes, to stand by his beliefs on this issue.

I agree with his stance and desire to do whatever it takes for his convictions and his principles.
With that said however, I also think that putting Christians into jail cells might well be the end game that the gays desire to see. They are working hard towards this goal.
If I were him I would flip it around. If I were the baker having lost this court battle I would say, "Okay gays, give me your order and I'll bake it for you - you win." BUT...........I would bake the most horrible, horrendous, foul tasting cake I could come up with. Let them choose another baker if they want a cake that actually looks and tastes good!
