If God is perfect and everything, how come some people advance their hate campaigns by justifying discrimination against homosexuals, abortion, alternative religious beliefs by saying "It is against God"......A PERFECT GOD MAKES NO MISTAKES. Why would HE allow those things to exist? Any thoughts"

Because deep down inside, they're afraid their 'agenda' has no merit, so they seek to give it legitimacy, and themselves power, by calling it 'god's will'

Some people try to propagandize their own beliefs and discriminations and prejudices against sexual preferences, against other races and their religions , and against issues as abortion.Then they have the audacity to propagate that's these are all against God's teachings and commandments. Moreover, that they are doomed to perish if they are not to amend their ways.
God is infallible. Presumably the Pope is too; las he's a direct descendant in the line of power given to St. Peter. Remember when Jesus Christ gave the keys to the kingdom of heaven to ST. Peter with these words. : Whose so ever sins you have forgiven shall be forgiven and allowed entrance to the kingdom of God?
Why are there existence of turmoils, evil people, wars, controversies,calamities such as Hurricane K atrina and Tsunami, sufferings, religious differences and intolerances, graft and corruption and generally sins all over the world?It's due to the fact that God allowed man to have free will and to be able to exercise it.
Except for natural disasters and the devastations it leave in our midst everything else is man's doing not God's. So the flaw lies in man's wrong conclusions and beliefs. Thereby, God is just, perfect and all knowing and powerful. The ideal is that God's will be done on earth thru His teachings and commandments. AS much as that's a hard concept for man to digest, that remains the true fact.

What they're really saying is: I am perfect and I know what's best for everyone. Using God is just a way of shutting up anyone who opposes them or has a different opinion.

It is part of the comedy that the God provides for our development.
We are suppose to work these things out. We have ALL been deputized with dominion. We have much growing up to complete and we are not even aware of it.

Because this is a world at war. I'm not talking about Iraq or anything, I am referring to the age old battle between good and evil. All good things come from God. Jesus came so that we could have life, and have it to the fullest. Satan, our enemy, has come to kill, and steal and destroy.
Sometimes Satan's most effective line of attack is to convince us that whatever terrible thing is happening in our lives is not from Satan. People end up "blaming" God when they claim it must be His will. They confuse "all good things come from God" as "ALL things come from God." The enemy wins a lot of battles this way. The crazy thing is, we are more than willing to take the blame for it. Instead of recognizing where the evil is coming from, we let guilt, anger, bitterness, bigotry, etc form in our hearts. We blame ourselves (i.e. "I don't deserve to be treated well"), others ("if it weren't for those (insert racial term here), we wouldn't have any street violence."). Such are examples of the way Evil plays puppetmaster in our lives.

Because that is a way of explaining what they believe, not what the truth higher power believes. People are afraid of what they don't understand and so they have to have a way of explaining it. It's sad, the way people can't understand.

Do you believe in God ? If so ,where is the Devil in your theory ? Does HE just stand by and wait far people to fall or do you think he might nudge them ? Why does everyone leave the Devil out of the equation? He tempts us with sin ,or the easy way out of a problem,or into selfishness,or hate . How you handle these things is the choice God gave you .

God created free will. For some reason or other.
