I think Two Words meant that as $135k for refusing to bake the cake. For example I had only a brief knowledge of this story and didn't know about the bakery releasing their details and the subsequent harassment - which is where I'm assuming the real reason the $135k damages request has come from

It's not a gift if you don't want it/would refuse it.
It's just bullshit they say to feel better about themselves anyway. Anyone can be an arsehole to others, but it takes a special kind of person to be sanctimonious about it.

Read up on the the Kleins if you feel like getting good and angry. They aren't good Christians, they're scum who make money by spreading intolerance.

Yea it is quite good. it seems the Kleins should have been professional trolls this whole time. Good on them for finding their true calling and all that.

The bakery owner didn't "dox" them in this case. They put up the DOJ complaint (public record) which contained the complainants' home address on Facebook (for around half a day) to a total of 17 Facebook friends. The media, unsurprisingly, took interest in the case after scouring court records for interesting stories. The DOJ emailed the complaint en masse to many media outlets as a result of growing interest.
Naturally, the media requested interviews from the owners of the bakery, and these requests were accepted. As a result, the judge concluded that the owner was liable for comments (death threats, emotional distress) made by outside individuals for keeping the story in the media, which I found to be a bit bizarre. I don't know how common it is to hold the defendants accountable for the actions of outside parties towards the plaintiffs by accepting media requests for interviews.

I was made to attend church all my childhood. Which is why I know the bible says hate the sin, not the sinner.
The more you know, and all that jazz...
And how exactly have I contradicted this? Furthermore, this sort of vicarious placement of hate is laughable. All the mental gymnastics in the world doesnt erase the fact that you admit scripture is promoting hate for something benign.

"I don't hate them for being gay. I hate the fact that they're allowed to be gay, and together and happy."
See, televator? It's totally different.
No it's not.

The funny thing is that as Christians, there is nothing in the new testament that says being gay is not only a sin, but a grave sin the God hates. Same goes for all the other bs that supposed devout Christians use to spit hate to other groups. When it's beneficial, always go to the technically superseded old testament to back up ones bigoted views.

No it doesn't man. And there's no need to be smart. Tele said the bible hates you, or something to that effect. I was merely saying it doesn't. If you want to consider me a bible thumper because I have some basic knowledge of it then fine.

The bible doesn't hate gay people? That's kind of news to me.
Separating gay 'actions' from gay people is the dumbest kind of mental gymnastic move.

You might want to inform all the Christian hate groups and free-range bigots about this.

Haha! They already know it. They just don't care.
No guy, the bible is a book. It can't feel emotions.
Y'all are hanging way too heavily on what I said. I agree the bakery people are shit human beings. But ffs the bible does not say to hate people! That's a fact! That is all I'm saying. Do we understand?

News to radicals. Yes. All? No. People screw up the message of the bible. Just like they do with the quaran. That doesn't mean it actually says to hate people. Or to kill people.
I don't even know where people get this shit from. Its like they watch the news and see these radical groups and just assume that they are correctly following scripture. They aren't.
It's time to stop posting

People can interpret the scriptures anyway they want. You don't have authority over what is the "correct" interpretation of the bible.

Dear The Gays,
God loves you. He loves you so much that if you do anything gay he will throw you into an eternal pit of fire to be tortured for all time.
No hate here at all. He loves you! It's just that he's going to torture you forever for no reason except that you're gay. So maybe try not to be so gay?
Love you!
Love,
The Bible

I have a lot of Christian friends who say the same thing. That basically Jesus wants you love your neighbor and not judge and turn the other cheek and assholes are warping it to fit their own bigotry. Christians are great...unless they are of that type that preaches hate that isn't supposed to exist in their religion.
It seemed odd to me at the time but it's sort of irrelevant given that they got more than double that back in donations from assholes.
Well, this is cringeworthy ¬_¬

They're probably getting it from the fact that the bible, or any religious text, can literally be interpreted in countless ways - and because there's no evidence to support the claims of ANY such interpretation, they're all equally as valid as the rest.

Judge not lest ye be judged
Seems clear cut. Also seems opposite to what extremists say and do.
The bible says all sins are equally yolked. People have decided homosexuality is somehow worse than other sins. I disagree. But no one cares. The fact that I argue someones knowledge of the bible is wrong means I'm a zealot apparently.
