Arizona Veto, ‘Cakemageddon’, and Religious Liberty Source Page

As a continuing service of our coverage of the decision and subsequent firestorm surrounding the Arizona Religious Liberty Bill, Merritt, Powers, and Moore et al., we have compiled a list of articles addressing the situation.  It is important to note that yesterday Gov. Jan Brewer of Arizona vetoed Senate Bill 1062.  The links are organized into two sections, the first section framing the debate is from Monday, and the second section  are some recent follow up articles, including coverage of Gov. Brewer’s veto.

Section One

• Of Consciences and Cakes by Andrew Walker at ERLC.
• Yes, Jesus Would Bake a Cake for a Gay Person by Erick Erickson.
• Never Murder a Movement that is Committing Suicide published here at CBMWedge.
• Should Christians Bake Wedding Cakes for Weddings About Which they Disagree? Russell Moore’s, head of ERLC and Board member here at CBMW, evaluation.
• Conservative Christians Selectively Apply Biblical Teachings in the Same-Sex Marriage Debate – Powers and Merritt double down.  (Why no analysis of the “liberal Christians” on the matter?)
• On Weddings and Conscience: Are Christians Hypocrites? by Russell Moore responding to Powers and Merritt, again.
• Against Christian Hypocrisy, a thoughtful response by Betsy Childs.
• This Straw Man Has a Heart provides a practical look at the logical problems with Powers and Merritt’s argument.
