Re: gay marriage not gays
Faith writes:
I don't think there is even such a thing as a "standard" wedding cake. They are specialty items, custom designed for the occasion to the specifications of the parties to be married.
Suppose the happy couple says, "We'll take number three out of the catalogue, with the pink roses. The only thing is, instead of a bride and groom on the top, we want two brides, one with a big handlebar moustache."

And our geese will blot out the sun.

You gay-haters really need to lighten up.

God ordained marriage for a man and a woman, period.
No He didn't. He didn't say anything about marriage. Marriage is strictly a human invention.
Faith writes:
Now use that one brain cell to figure out what the Christian baker would do.
I've already said what a normal human being would do - he'd laugh at the idea of a bride with a big moustache. How do you think a Lord! Lord! Christian would respond? How would you respond?

Re: What God said about Marriage
Faith writes:
Gen 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
That isn't a "prescription" for marriage. It isn't a commandment. It's, "It shall happen." It isn't, "Thou shalt not." It's just a description of a marriage bond.
Faith writes:
Matthew 19:4-5 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh...
Same as above. It doesn't preclude other forms of bonding.

Re: SCOTUS refuses to hear about "gay wedding cakes"
Faith writes:
Simply expressing the opinion that gay marriage is a violation of God's law could become subject to punitive action.
There's no need to punish you for that. We just need to point out that you apply "God's laws" hypocrytically and unequally.

I was responding to AZ's wish to grind my religion back to the stone age and rid society of us. You might pay attention to context.
You might pay attention to context - or even read the words at all. The desire is to grind your religion down, not you yourself. You yourself are welcome to believe in leprechauns or whatever but your religion must be deprived of every vestige of the power it has to persecute whomever you don't like.

The absurdity of marrying two people who have no natural biological reason for marriage....
Marriage isn't about biology in the first place; it's a social construct. But even if it was about biology, you're saying that it's absurd for childless heterosexual couples to be married - and for adoptive parents to be married.

Re: SCOTUS refuses to hear about "gay wedding cakes"
Faith writes:
It's a PRINCIPLE that defines marriage as for heterosexuals because they have the biological qualifications whether they are defective in them or not.
It's your so-called "principle" that's absurd. There is no difference "in principle" between one couple that can't have children and another couple that can't have children.

Re: SCOTUS refuses to hear about "gay wedding cakes"
Faith writes:
They are biologically built for it and gays are not.
It makes no difference what somebody is "biologically built for" if they can't actually do it.
Faith writes:
You are making a principle out of a mere accidental defect.
I'm not making a principle of anything. I'm pointing out that your so-called "principle" is nonsensical.
Besides, there isn't necessarily any "defect" involved at all, either accidental or otherwise. By your so-called principle, a couple who didn't want children would also be ineligible for marriage.
Faith writes:
And it is conceivable that their problem could be cured too. Which is not the case for gays.
Gay couples can adopt, which is as effective a cure as any for childlessness.

I was merely talking about the biological FIT between the sexes.
Then your argument is even more of a failure. If there was no biological "fit" between same-sex couples, there wouldn't be any same-sex couples.

No, in the history of the human race marriage is NOT about love.
That's true. In the history of the human race, marriage has usually been about property. Never has it ever been about any silly "biological fit" as you claim.
