Re: Aug. 11 guest commentary.
Danny de Zayas believes that the Jack Phillips story is about law. This had nothing to do with law — except for the fact that it was the law that was used as a bludgeon by supposed grievously mistreated “victims” to destroy a man of faith. Phillips’ crime? He wouldn’t decorate a cake with emblems that violated his religious beliefs. Would the court have been so unrelenting if the Masterpiece Cakeshop customers had been neo-Nazis desiring a swastika on their cake? Or even Christians with an anti-Muslim message? I think not.
This whole affair has not been about civil rights and law; it has been purely about the destruction of a Christian businessman. It is supremely ironic that this great country that was built on the abiding faith of common men and women now seeks to eradicate all vestiges of that faith.
