Powers says that because Jesus served and died for all, Christians should serve all, even when they disagree with the recipients’ underlying morality. “Christians backing this bill are essentially arguing for homosexual Jim Crow laws,” Powers writes. “Maybe they should just ask themselves, ‘What would Jesus do?’ I think he’d bake the cake.”

I’ll say nothing snarky about the decision of Kirsten Powers to abandon her evangelical identity to become a Catholic except to wish her well. Last year she wrote a column speculating that Jesus would participate in a same-sex wedding. Here’s the column I wrote disagreeing with her.
