According to Right Wing News, Feuerstein recently warned his YouTube subscribers that Christians are coming under attack and should be very careful in this heightened anti-Christian climate. Unfortunately, the pastor proved his own theory, because he is now being threatened with criminal charges just for ordering a cake.
Naturally, the Long Beach bakery’s owner, Sharon Haller, refused.
Feuerstein posted the video of him making the call to Haller’s shop, Cut The Cake, on YouTube to illustrate the double standard within our society. It certainly made for a good discussion topic, and that should have been the end of it. But the story doesn’t end there.
Haller asked Feuerstein to take the video down, and he graciously did so. But then the baker turned around and reposted it herself, to attack the pastor.
As if this wasn’t bad enough, Haller also called the FBI and demanded that Feuerstein be charged with a hate crime. “I’m just afraid because of the type of calls that we were getting that someone is going to attack me in my home,” Haller told News 13. “Please help put a stop to people like Joshua Feuerstein,” she pleaded online.
Apparently, if you’re a Christian who refuses to bake cakes for same-sex marriages based on your religious values, you can be sued and harassed and lose your business. But if you’re a gay baker who won’t bake an anti-gay marriage cake, you get to press charges against a person for simply making a request.
It seems that Feuerstein’s valiant effort to expose one of the grave injustices in our society may have landed him in some serious trouble with the law. BuzzPo will be watching this story closely and you can be sure we’ll be the first to let you know if substantial charges are brought against the pastor.
