Are you this dense all the time or is it all the spike proteins lodged between your ears? Your analogy sucks raw eggs.
The situation with the baker involved a lot more than merely sticking a cake into an oven to bake it. He was asked to
design a wedding cake which, of course, would have required his artistic skills -- skills that he did not want to use to help someone celebrate an event that was morally repugnant to him, and for this reason he didn't want to be a participant in their celebration in any manner whatsoever. In fact, he offered to sell them a standard cake from one of his displays but they refused. They wanted him to violate his own conscience by specially designing a cake for them. They wanted him to design it because if he had, they would have interpreted his cooperation as giving tacit approval to their celebration.
Conversely, the restaurant was not asked to do anything for the Christian group over and above what they normally do for any customer who eats in their establishment. They weren't asked to do anything special.
Apples and oranges.
P.S. Did I tell you to stay far away from analogies? Don't you know that a twisted liberal mind formulating a logically sound analogy is about as rare as finding a hen's tooth in a haystack?
