Christianity is not only true, it's better.

For the Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street with the point.

An eight-year court battle over a bakery in the United Kingdom is now over.

Earlier this month, the European Court of Human Rights declined to hear the case,

brought by Gareth Lee, a gay activist who sued a Christian-owned bakery in 2014

after the shop declined to decorate a cake with the words,

support gay marriage.

This leaves in place

Britain's Supreme Court's 2018 ruling, which said that the bakery didn't discriminate against the

customer because it refused to print a message. And that's good news. Still, when Lee first sued

the bakery, he said publicly that their refusal to print the message made him feel like, quote,

a lesser person. This points to just how

vapid modern notions of identity have really become. There are real consequences when you

disconnect people from their creator and leave them with no real reference point other than

their own self-expression. The biblical idea of the image of God is so much better than anything

else on offer in the marketplace of ideas.
