In fact - in an amazing coincidence - their god hates gays exactly as much as they themselves do!
Not sure about that. According to many religions, homosexuality is a sin like any other: killing, cheating, etc.

Yes, maybe the bakers were wrong and they should sell their cakes to whoever: gay couples, an adult with her 13 year old lover, a couple that is cheating, or any other preference/orientation out there. But I find it as wrong for LGTB to be suing religious organizations/establishments, publishers, etc. for not supporting their lifestyle. Let sexual orientations/preference do what they want. Let religious people do what they want. Live and let live.

The girls did not sue the baker. They filed a complaint with the State for the discrimination they experienced. The end result was no penalty for the discrimination, but the bakers had to pay damages for publicizing the girls' names, address & emails.

Funny, I don't see you thundering about divorcees, tax cheats, adulterers and thieves getting married and having cakes made.

God has said differently. I know that the ideas you pulled out of your posterior might say differently, but sorry...I see no reason to believe your backside over God.
You prefer to believe what primitive, long-dead guys pulled out of their backsides.

And what Matt "The Oil" Slick yanks out of his.

Quite obviously, you're yet another who has not bothered to read the details of the case.

I have to laugh when I see the anti-gay marriage folks use the STD/HIV argument, when common sense tells us that once married and in a monogamous relationship the STD rates among gays will decrease....

So what's worse? 2 consentual gay males without STD's engaged in anal sex, or some married woman cheating on her husband and contracting herpes? Then passing it on to her husband?

Which sin matters more?

I'm convinced the aptly-named Slick is a guru because his followers don't have to use their own brains.... they can just endlessly repeat his 'arguments' and tell themselves, "That showed 'em!"

Lol... poor things.

Sure they do, but not all of them, and they generally don't have nearly as many sexual partners as unmarried people do.
