Christian Creationist Youth Minister: ‘I Was Discriminated Against By The Bakery Based On My Creed’

A co-founder of a Christian academy is claiming discrimination because a bakery refused to write anti-gay slurs on a bible cake.

Bill Jack’s bio says he is “an educator with ten years experience in public schools and 14 years with The Caleb Campaign, a creationist youth ministry…As a founder of Worldview Academy he continues to pursue his passion to raise up a generation who have the vision to reach their culture with the gospel, who have the valor to engage that culture with the truth and who rely on the virtue of the Word of God.”

Bill Jack last year walked into a small privately-owned Denver, Colorado bakery and demanded they bake him a cake decorated to look like a bible, with the words “god hates homosexuality” written on it, and an image of two men holding hands, with a large “x” over it. Also, a Ghostbusters logo at the top, for some unknown reason.

The bakery refused to decorate with anti-gay hate, and Jack filed a discrimination complaint against them. The owner, Marjorie Silva, had appeared in a local newscast when another Colorado bakery received a discrimination complaint for refusing to bake a cake for a same-sex couple.

“I believe I was discriminated against by the bakery based on my creed,” Jack told local Fox affiliate KDVR. “As a result, I filed a complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights division.”

Jack seems to have set up the bakery. He reportedly refused to let the keep a copy of his written “god hates homosexuality” request, upon being told they would not write those words he told them to consult with their attorney, and he visited the bakery, according to reports, three times in the same day.

An Internet search for The Caleb Campaign turns up little, mostly Jack’s bio, but the Worldview Academy he co-founded has a much bigger footprint.

It seems to be a Christian children indoctrination camp, saying its mission is “to train Christians to think and live in accord with a biblical worldview.”

Also, nearly every photo and video of its participants, on Facebook and on its website, shows almost entirely only white people. Its website shows the faculty is 12 men and just three women, seemingly no people of color.

It also shows the Academy is affiliate with Ken Ham’s Answers in Genesis ministry.
